I just went to widgets and chose them. They just won’t show. * What should i edit ? * [salsaturation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salsaturation/) * (@salsaturation) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-problem-10/#post-4650953) * You need to edit each page and change the template otherwise it just uses the default template * Thread Starter [MW2014](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mw2014/) * (@mw2014) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-problem-10/#post-4650970) * I changed the template of all the pages. Still not working. * Thread Starter [MW2014](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mw2014/) * (@mw2014) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-problem-10/#post-4650971) * I think i didn’t do the right thing and i just don’t know how and what to edit. * [salsaturation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salsaturation/) * (@salsaturation) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-problem-10/#post-4650974) * for example lets say you have a page called contact you need to go to the backend Pages > All Pages > Contact – click edit then on the right hand side there is a ‘template’ section (if you cant see it have a look at ‘Screen Options’ on the top right handside to ensure it is switched on) select the ‘Page-With-Sidebar’ template… Is this what you did? * Thread Starter [MW2014](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mw2014/) * (@mw2014) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-problem-10/#post-4650976) * Oh thank you so much ! I know how it works now. But the thing is that i can’t find the “home” page. Therefore i can’t add a sidebar on the homepage, can I ? * [salsaturation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salsaturation/) * (@salsaturation) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-problem-10/#post-4650979) * Create a page called home and assign the sidebar * Then go to Settings > Reading and assign the page you created as the homepage * Thread Starter [MW2014](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mw2014/) * (@mw2014) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-problem-10/#post-4650983) * I did everything right this time but the widgets won’t show if the page is the one hosting the posts. They do show when it’s a simple page though. * [salsaturation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salsaturation/) * (@salsaturation) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-problem-10/#post-4650987) * In this case you will need to create a [Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) and add the sidebar code to the index.php file. Please try this and let me know how you get on * Thread Starter [MW2014](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mw2014/) * (@mw2014) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-problem-10/#post-4650993) * Can you please tell me which index.php i have to edit ? There are 3 files with the same name. Shoudl i edit the one in the content directory ? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-problem-10/#post-4650994) * You should only ever edit files in your child theme’s folder. * Thread Starter [MW2014](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mw2014/) * (@mw2014) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-problem-10/#post-4650996) * It works now but look at what it does : [http://youmebrooklyn.com/](http://youmebrooklyn.com/). * Maybe i should try to put everything in the footer ? * Thread Starter [MW2014](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mw2014/) * (@mw2014) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-problem-10/#post-4651000) * Now it works perfectly on the footer but it was a mistake. I copied & pasted the index.php file in the sublime press directory before doing it in the sublime press child directory. * Thread Starter [MW2014](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mw2014/) * (@mw2014) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-problem-10/#post-4651007) * Found out it only works if i add an url to one of the social networks’ button. But there is something wrong with the search button. Can anyone tell me how to fix this ? Thank you !
