    Hi, I am creating a blog using the free wordpress site. However, the Blix template (one of the 79 free templates) does not show the sidebar on all pages. I would like to modify but how do I do this without being able to upload the modified theme .php files? When looking at the modification abilities online, only CSS is an options showing. Am I missing something? The person who created the site posted that he will not be modifying the design due to health reasons. Thanks!

    Well....I am also self-hosted at rdonaldson.com and was trying it out for my site but get

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_front_page() in /home4/rdonalds/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/fixed-blix/header.php on line 42

    Any idea what that means?

    is_front_page() is a standard WordPress conditional.

    You could drop a copy of your theme's header.php file into the WordPress pastebin and post the pastebin url here. Perhaps someone will be able to spot the problem and suggest a solution.
