  • is that on the front page?
    or in a single post?

    if so, how did you get the right sidebar to show in single posts?

    can you post a link to your site to illustrate the problem?

    Hi alchymyth, this is my testing blog, take a look, note that no right sidebar, and category, archive, etc is listed below example post

    http://theultimateskater.com/

    by design, the sidebar will go under the content in narrow screens (below about 700px);

    also, the sidebar will not show in single posts and in static pages.

    the latter can be changed by using a plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twenty-eleven-theme-extensions/

    Thanks alchymyth

    It looks like a good plug in, but anyway I’d like to know some things

    In the theme option I see selected an option for what seem to be a layout with a right sidebar, take a look to this http://i47.tinypic.com/2ez6z5z.png but I don’t know why this appears below all

    And where is the layout sidebar seted up, in the CSS? I mean, that plugin will only add some code to the CSS?

    how wide is your browser screen?

    for instance, I see the sidebar on the right on a 1000px laptop screen.

    can you post a screenshot of the situation?

    if you are interested, here is some initial css you could add to influence the sidebar position in narrow screens: http://www.transformationpowertools.com/wordpress/twenty-eleven-sidebar-adaptations-for-hand-held-devices

    alchymyth, I have a monitor 19 inches, wide. I don’t think that could be the problem, the rare is I tested switching to Twenty ten, and Twenty ten shows the right sidebar…so my question is, does the twenty eleven shows by default a right sidebar?

    Waht theme do you think is better, twenty ten or twenty eleven?

    I don’t mean to butt in…

    But alchymeth meant the resolution of your screen… not the actual size of the monitor.

    On your desktop, right-click and go to “properties”. Click “settings” and look at the “Screen Resolution” settings. What do you show here?

    Also, can you do like alchymeth suggested and post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

    Ah ok Josh, thanks

    alchymyth, screen resolution: 800 by 600 px

    Image of how I see my theme: http://i46.tinypic.com/2hftbv9.png

    at 800px wide, Twenty Eleven makes the fist adjustment in the ‘responsive styles’ section in style.css, by dropping the sidebar etc:

    @media (max-width: 800px) {

    in your case, it might be the best, if you create a child theme http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes , to copy all styles from style.css into the child theme, instead of using the @import rule.

    then edit those @media lines in the responsive section…

    most users with high resolution monitors will be seeing the sidebar at the side, and users with narrower screens will getting the sidebar below – this is just a design feature of the theme.

    Thanks alchymyth, the resolution was the problem, but can I just modify only that responsive parameter using the @import in the child theme css file instead of coping all? is there any diference in using @import or coping all? or it ins’t possible make this when using @import?

    can I just modify only that responsive parameter using the @import in the child theme css

    of course you can; it might require overwriting a few styles.

    is there any diference in using @import or coping all?

    @import would keep the style.css of a child theme much cleaner and easier to work with, as it would only contain the changed styles.
    there is no difference for the site when viewed in a browser.
