# empty sidebar

 * I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I hope someone can help me
   figure out what to do.
 * I installed the plugin TLP Team ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/tlp-team/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tlp-team/))
   which offers a grid with teamm members with a link to an individual page with
   detail bio.
    The sidebars for this individual bio page are visible, but empty,
   even when in the customizer I apply the primary and secondary sidebar to “all
   contexts”.
 * The author says:”To add sidebar need to add code <?php get_sidebar(); ?>” but
   I have no idea what he meanss and where to add this code.

 * Hi Marion. The theme already uses the get_sidebar() function. I see the plugin
   comes with a widget. Did you add that widget to one of your sidebars? Can you
   post a link to your site? Thanks.

 * Hi bdbrown,
    I haven’t tried the widget, as I no need for it: I just want a grid
   with the shortcode on a page. The test fot this is on [http://www.regieraadtechniek.nl/samenstelling-van-de-rtf/](http://www.regieraadtechniek.nl/samenstelling-van-de-rtf/).
 * Clikcing on the first item will show you the individual (test) bio [http://www.regieraadtechniek.nl/leden-rtf/hetty-klavers/](http://www.regieraadtechniek.nl/leden-rtf/hetty-klavers/)
   
   It has no sidebars, and I also noticed that the css is not inherited from the
   theme. This mest be adjusted in the plugin itself.
 * Although I have Custom Sidebars ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sidebars/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sidebars/))
   installed, untill now I only used the default primary and secondary sidebars.
 * Thanks very much for looking into this problem.

 * > It has no sidebars
 * Does the plugin use a custom page template for the bio?
 * In Customize > Content > Layout options for the main content > Single, do you
   have “3 Columns” selected?

 * Hi bdbrown,
    I have the 3 columns selected as the standard lay-out. Opening the
   individual bio, it looks as if there should be sidebars, there are 2 grey areas
   beside the main content, but they are empty.
 * I found that the plugin has a template on location Tlp-team/lib/template/single-
   team.php .

 * Perhaps the single-team.php is not using the theme sidebars? The two grey areas
   you see are the padding the theme applies to set up the areas for the theme sidebars.
   I see the tlp-single-container content area but no sidebars. You might check 
   with the plugin support forum and see if the developers can give you some idea
   of what else to check:

 * Thank you for looking into this problem, I will contact the TLP-team again for
   a solution.
