 * I solved the problem by switching to a new host with cpanel and uploading the
   database via phpmyadmin. The previous upload using the xml wordpress importer
   was the cause of problem.

 * Could the problem be linked to permissions? I did have some struggle in uploading
   local site to remote server due to permissions.

 * A default sidebar appears with activated widgets.
 * With the child theme I am using a static widget that appears above any dynamic
   widgets.
 * The code for sidebar.php.
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * The sidebar containing the main widget area.
        *
        * If no active widgets in sidebar, let's hide it completely.

        * @package WordPress
        * @subpackage Twenty_Twelve
        * @since Twenty Twelve 1.0

 * I checked my site’s error log and all I see is a link to a favicon error for 
   today.

 * Here is the function calling ‘sidebar-4’
 *     ```
       function mychildtheme_setup() {
   
       	// This theme uses wp_nav_menu() in one location.
       	register_nav_menu( 'secondary', __( 'Footer Menu', 'twentytwelve' ) );
   
       	// New widgetized sidebar area for pages
       	register_sidebar( array(
       		'name' => __( 'Page Sidebar', 'twentytwelve' ),
       		'id' => 'sidebar-4',
       		'description' => __( 'Appears on pages only', 'twentytwelve' ),

 * The sidebar is not being called. It works on my local server but not on remote
   server. Everything else works but the secondary div is not appearing in page…
   Is the site not recognizing active widgets?
 * The call for sidebar from the page template.
 * `<?php get_sidebar( 'page'); ?>`
 * The sidebar-page code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * The sidebar containing the main widget area.
        *
        * If no active widgets in sidebar, let's hide it completely.
        *
        * @package WordPress
        * @subpackage Twenty_Twelve
        * @since Twenty Twelve 1.0

   server username and password does not work. Getting incorrect password for the
   username message.

   settings which gives me a failure to connect to database on localhost.

 * I think I need to repost this question as a php code issue. I think my php code
   for blog page is adding the unclosed div
 * I did a temp css fix on blog page subscribe form styling by adding a padding 
   top class to optin.
