 * Hi, I’ve recently started using the Sela theme and so far so good. One thing 
   I’m struggling with though is getting the widgets I’ve added to the Main Side
   Bar, to appear on the home page. There is just a while blank column down the 
   right hand side, though it appears to work fine on every other page.
 * I’ve checked the visability and it is on Show – page – home.
 * Any help would be much appreciated.
 * The site is [http://hercupoftea.com](http://hercupoftea.com)

 * Hi there,
 * The sidebar won’t display on Sela’s home page by design.
 * Instead, the image in the top section of the home page should expand the full
   width of the screen. The reason for the white space on the right of your home
   page is that that image is currently only 890px in width.
 * Sela works best with featured images on the home page that are at least 1180px
   wide.
 * If you have specific widgets that you’d like to display on the home page, then
   you could add them to the footer area. If the same widgets are also in the sidebar
   for others pages of your site, you could use the widget visibility settings (
   [this feature comes with Jetpack](https://jetpack.com/support/widget-visibility/))
   so that they only display in the footer of your home page.
 * Let me know if that’s clear or if you have any extra questions.
