    Hi I’m using the Night Watch theme and recently created a child theme folder to make changes in.

    I’m trying to do a few things to customize my site some more and need some help. I need to

    1) Bring back my side bar and move it to the right of the page as opposed to underneath the content. I think I’ve created the room I need for it to display there but not sure.

    2) Delete the empty space between the header image and the content container. The background shows in this area, but I essentially want to bring the content container up to meet the header image.

    3) Style my search box so that it fills in the white space it is sitting in to the right of the menu bar

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you!

    sidebars are called by a small piece of php code
    it should say get sidebar

    you need to move that code from the footer file to another file

    honestly your requests are pretty time consuming to explain in a support post and are basic wordpress theme questions.

    You might want to go to your Appearance Menu

    See if you have an empty widget area setup for your old sidebar .. sidebars don’t usually show if the widget is not populated with something so drag a text or search into it and see if you can see the sidebar in the location you want.

    see if you have the option to enable disable sidebars

    if not then you are in for some theme editing

    you might need to provide a live link to your site.
