# Sidebar is empty

 * Virtue free theme —
    Nothing I have tried will show any widgets in the sidebar,
   it’s empty. Instead the widgets I selected for the primary sidebar appear at 
   the bottom of the page — not in the sidebar. I am using the default template 
   for my home page. Sidebar is enabled and appears, just empty. Tried deactivating
   all plugins, didn’t fix it. Any help appreciated.

 * Forgot to say I am using a child theme. The sidebar works correctly in the parent
   virtue theme. The problem is in the css.
 * .col-md-4,
    .span4 { width: 33.33%; }
 * However I am setting width here to 80%. If width is 33.33% the title text wraps
   too soon. I am trying to allow the text more horizontal room because I think 
   it looks better to have the header title all on one line. I am also using the
   secondary menu position for the main menu so the menu appears below the title
   and is left aligned. Evidently this is messing up the sidebar widgets.

 * Hey,
    Sounds like you’re just wanting your sidebar a bit narrower? Remove your
   previous css and try adding this:
 *     ```
       @media (min-width: 992px) {
       .main.col-lg-9.col-md-8 {
           width: 80%;
       }
       aside.col-lg-3.col-md-4.kad-sidebar {
           width: 20%;
       }
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope it helps!
 * Best,
    Hannah
