Howdy,

Fairly certain width:auto isn’t going to do what you want. (Don’t we all wish!) If you are going to float those puppies, they need to have a specific width set, in something like pixels, ems, whatever.

You could make two different templates, though. Each could then have a different width set on div#left as appropriate.

Awesome. I’d love to see the site when you’re done.
Take care,
Paul

Great news, man.
Take care,
Paul

Howdy,

Can you also either:
1. Provide the code for one of the pages that does show the sidebar the way you want (maybe category.php or page.php?)
2. Provide a URL if you can to the site as it stands?

Something in your sidebar is altering the main WP loop, which is why adding it inside <aside>… goofs up the rest of the page.

I’m assuming this is the problem image:

You cannot use special characters like a % sign in a file name / path.
Change that, re-upload, and try it out.

Also, nothing like +, -, =, &, $… just stick to alphabet and numbers, and I recommend using “-” or “_” instead of spaces.

Let me know if it works out,
Paul

Okay, here’s what you need to do:

1. Go under “Appearance > Editor” in your dashboard.
2. On the right at the top, make sure you have selected the right theme (your active theme.)
3. On the right there is a list of all the pages in your theme. Click on “page.php” This will open the page in the on-page editor.
4. Scroll down and find:
<\div><!--end .post-->
5. Add the following line after that line:
<?php comments_template(); // include comments template ?>
6. Save your changes, and go check it out in your blog.

For reference, this is similarly handled in the “single.php” file in your theme. The difference is that “comments_template” being left out of the page.php file.

Give it a whirl!
Take care,
Paul

Well, the code to add the “comments” block is probably just not included in the Page templates for that theme.

Do you know how to add that code? Or can the person who installed the theme for you do it?

Paul

P.S. as you probably know your theme came from:
[ link redacted ]

When they did the restore, did they send you an email saying it was restored? If they did (they should have, but who knows…) the email would likely tell you where the restore was placed.

You might also know… you can log in to your Bluehost cPanel and use the File Manager to see where all your files are at. This can sometimes be easier than using FTP.

Often, a restore would be placed in 1 of 2 places:
1. In your main directory (that is, not buried in any folders.)
2. In your public_html directory
3. In your public_html directory inside another directory that is specified for your domain. (such as public_html/cadryskitchen.com/)

Hope this helps a little,
Paul
