# Asides Trouble

 * I followed [http://codex.wordpress.org/Adding_Asides#Displaying_Asides_on_the_Sidebar](http://codex.wordpress.org/Adding_Asides#Displaying_Asides_on_the_Sidebar)
   
   to add asides to my site.
 * It worked, in that posts in the Asides category show up where they should. The
   main post though disappears from the front page. I have it set to display only
   the most recent post, and the aside in this case now becomes the most recent.
 * The part that says
 * “After doing all of that, you will need to put this line:
 * <?php rewind_posts(); ?>
 * Either before the loop in your index.php file or before the loop in your sidebar.
   php file, depending on which one comes last. So, for example, if <?php get_sidebar();?
   > comes after the <?php endif; ?> line in index.php, then you will have to put
   it before the loop in sidebar.php. “
 * isn’t exactly clear, and I’ve tried putting <?php rewind_posts(); ?> in a few
   different places, but ith or without it added, nothing changes.
 * What can I do to keep the main posts displayed, while having asides?

 * Just to be clear, I have 2 questions.
 * 1) Does your theme, or settings, only show one post at a time in your main blog?
 * 2) Are you saying that you want posts in the Asides category (showing on your
   sidebar) to *also* show up in the main list?

 * Settings is set to only show one post.
 * Asides should only show up in sidebar.

 * Would doing it via a plugin interest you? [http://katesgasis.com/2006/05/02/sideblog-plugin-v30/](http://katesgasis.com/2006/05/02/sideblog-plugin-v30/)

 * Tried that. Followed the instructions, but I get “Aside category not selected.”
   Even though I’ve selected the category in the Options and added <?php sideblog(’
   asides’); ?> like it said to.

 * Ah well, got the Sideblog plugin to work, with no apparent reason of why it didn’t
   want to work earlier. Thanks for the help.
