    I just activated Baskerville on WordPress.com.
    The side bar is not visable. I’ve inserted widgets with contents into the sidebar but it not visable on the home page when updated.

    Does the sidebar need to be “turned on” somewhere?

    Thank you

    The sidebar isn’t shown on the main page but only on posts and pages. Hope that helps!

    Hi, the sidebar can be included on the Homepage, but it will take some hacking in the PHP and CSS. I’m happy to show you how. Cheers

    i would be interested in this information if it’s not too late Clinton??

    Sure happy to help, I can send you the child theme I created. Let me know where I can send it to. Cheers

    [removed from public forum] Thanks Clinton

    Ok cool it’s at home I’ll do it tonight

    Hey Clinton,

    Could you please send me one too? i’m aiming to have the sidebar show up on post pages too 🙂

    Hi Auranoc, I’ve sent you the details for the sidebar but I don’t think you need it for a sidebar on a post page. If I remember correctly its only the Home page where it doesn’t show up. Cheers

    My sidebar is showing – HOWEVER – when I click on the post it gets me to a 404 ERROR page… any ideas? Thank you.

    Hi Claudia, it seems those pages don’t exist. I tested the links with valid urls in your site and it worked fine. How did you get the sidebar to show? Cheers

    Thank you for testing it!
    I activated the Sidebar by clicking APPEARANCE > WIDGETS > SIDEBAR > RECENT POSTS

    When I SEARCH for the little post I wrote I can see it but it seems when I click NEW POST it shows up in the SIDEBAR but doesn’t link correctly….

    Thank you so much for your help!

    Hi Claudia, I see what you mean, that’s really odd. It may be the type of post you are using? I’d have to get admin access to have a proper look.

    Hm. I am just clicking NEW POST…. and write on that page. Nothing unusual! :)… Hm, what to do? Thanks for your help. Really really appreciate it!!

    Send me your email address. I’ll see what I can do.
