You need to select the correct template when editing. ‘Page-With-Sidebar’ under templates part of the editor page

Thank you for your answer.
The thing is that i didn’t edit anything. I just went to widgets and chose them. They just won’t show.
What should i edit ?
You need to edit each page and change the template otherwise it just uses the default template

I changed the template of all the pages. Still not working.

I think i didn’t do the right thing and i just don’t know how and what to edit.
for example lets say you have a page called contact you need to go to the backend Pages > All Pages > Contact – click edit then on the right hand side there is a ‘template’ section (if you cant see it have a look at ‘Screen Options’ on the top right handside to ensure it is switched on) select the ‘Page-With-Sidebar’ template… Is this what you did?

Oh thank you so much ! I know how it works now. But the thing is that i can’t find the “home” page. Therefore i can’t add a sidebar on the homepage, can I ?
Create a page called home and assign the sidebar
Then go to Settings > Reading and assign the page you created as the homepage

I did everything right this time but the widgets won’t show if the page is the one hosting the posts. They do show when it’s a simple page though.
In this case you will need to create a Child_Themes and add the sidebar code to the index.php file. Please try this and let me know how you get on

You should only ever edit files in your child theme’s folder.

It works now but look at what it does : http://youmebrooklyn.com/.
Maybe i should try to put everything in the footer ?

Now it works perfectly on the footer but it was a mistake. I copied & pasted the index.php file in the sublime press directory before doing it in the sublime press child directory.

Found out it only works if i add an url to one of the social networks’ button. But there is something wrong with the search button. Can anyone tell me how to fix this ? Thank you !
