# Use "Sidebar Template" for posts

 * Hi Everyone,
 * I am new to WordPress, but have blogged since 2006.
 * I am an experienced web designer. I feel like this is a stupid question…maybe
   the solution is right in front of me.
 * Is there a way to make my blog posts look like the “Sidebar Template”. My home
   page, the “category” pages and all “Pages” that I created use the “Sidebar Template”.
   I want this look to carry over to my individual post pages, so that my sidebar
   is on every page on my blog.
 * Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
 * Sal

 * what theme are you using?
    can you post a link to your site?
 * for instance, you can edit index.php and adapt the code using the structure of
   the ‘sidebar template’

 * I am using the Twenty Eleven theme.
 * I have my site “blocked” until I get it up and running–I’m actually porting it
   over from a different platform, and am using a coming soon page until it is done.

 * start by creating a child theme of Twenty Eleven to work with: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
 * posts page and archive pages already have the sidebar layout (unless otherwise
   set in the theme options);
 * for sidebars in single post, try to work with a plugin: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twenty-eleven-theme-extensions/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twenty-eleven-theme-extensions/)
 * the forum is full with topics about customising Twenty Eleven – always try and
   use the forum search and add ‘twenty eleven’ into your search terms.

 * Thanks, as I’ve been using WordPress less than a week, I was not aware that I
   should use the theme name in my search. Makes sense, though.
 * Thank you for the links. I went with the plugin–it worked perfectly–because I
   am hellbent on getting my blog away from Blogger and over to WordPress ASAP.
 * I definitely want to learn how to make child themes. That will be next on my 
   agenda once my site is up and running.
