• I am having a little trouble with this website I am updating. For some reason, I cannot get the side-bar to show up on the blog page.

    http://eight84.com/reviews-tutorials-2/

    It does, however, show up on a single post page, but it is pushed below the post instead of aligned to the right.

    I also disabled the CSS on the blog page and I could see the sidebar at the bottom. I am not sure what it is that is making the sidebar not show up and also be pushed down on the single post page.

    (I did try disabling plugins and I still did not see the sidebar)

    Another issue I am having is that the buttons on the bottom “Portfolio” “Contact me” overlap the footer in mobile view. I have also tried adding a clear both div, as well as adding clear both in the CSS to try to avoid this but I cannot seem to figure it out. I checked to make sure the position wasn’t “absolute” and I also tried making the buttons have a relative position, but it did not solve the issue. Any help is very much appreciated.

    I have fixed the single-post page issue. However I am still not able to see the sidebar on the blog page without disabling the CSS.

    there is no reference to a sidebar in the html output of the blog page;

    does index.php (or home.php if exists) call the ‘get_sidebar()‘ code?

    reviews-tutorials.php calls for the sidebar. Which is the same way I did it for single.php.

    This is the reviews-tutorials.php

    <?php
    /*
     Template Name: Reviews
     *
     * This is your custom page template. You can create as many of these as you need.
     * Simply name is "page-whatever.php" and in add the "Template Name" title at the
     * top, the same way it is here.
     *
     * When you create your page, you can just select the template and viola, you have
     * a custom page template to call your very own. Your mother would be so proud.
     *

    Actually, I just realised that the page wasn’t assigned to use reviews-tutorials. Thanks for your help on this, wish I didn’t overlook it!
