 * Hello all,
    I deleted the code for side bar in the tabs: appearance –> editor–
   > sidebar.php I am confused if I can add it back? No side bar appears when I 
   change to new themes either. Does anyone know the code to add back in? Would 
   this cause my site to look off on a mobile browser?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Faccidentally-deleted-side-bar-code%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * My guess is you turned off the sidebar or maybe you did actually delete the code.
 * So here’s my best idea of the moment…
 * Try looking to see if you can reset something called ‘layout’ or something like
   that. You want the two column mode or layout.
 * Else…
 * Switch your theme to some other theme and then reinstall the theme you have. 
   I think it’s called ‘delicious’ or something like that.
 * You can manually install the old theme by reloading the files from the installation
   zip… if necessary you can delete the theme and reinstall it from the themes dashboard.
