 * I am trying to work on a custom theme. And for some reason the side bar is missing.
   And i’ve done every thing i can to fix it. The person who made it, their demo
   it shows the sidebar is working. But I’ve tried contacting them and I haven’t
   heard back. And I am getting annoyed. HELP
 * I don’t know if i am allowed to post this or if y’all can even see this but this
   is the theme.

 * Does your custom theme support sidebar?
 * you may check by searching for this code `<?php get_sidebar(); ?>` in your theme’s
   relevant templates

 * No it wasnt, I added it in. But the sidebar looks odd. The headers are supposed
   to have a background imaged like the “Featured” widget above the posts has.

 * Ahh never mind i finally figured out what the issue was. I had two sidebar.php
   files. So i copied the information from sidebar2.php to sidebar1.php and did 
   some editing in the Css file and with in the sidebar file and TADA!
