Sidebar not showing up

Hello,
I've followed these steps you've provided in another discussion and my sidebar is still not showing up:

1 step: Please go to Theme options > Getting started > Sidebars section and create sidebar(s) that you need. After that click "Save changes" what is really important.

2 step: Go to Appearance > Widgets section and already created sidebar from step no. 1 will be waiting for you. Just put right widgets into sidebar.

3 step: If you want to select this sidebar for page, then please go to Pages section and edit page for which you want sidebar. Under Content Builder section you have 2 values: 

    3.1) Layout (choose if you want sidebar on left or right side)
    3.2) Sidebar (select already created sidebar for page)

The page has saved a spot for it, but none of my widgets are appearing for the sidebar. What might be the fix? Thank you!

    Hi,

    are you sure widgets exist in the sidebar? Because sidebar may be empty.

    Yes, 100%. There is only one sidebar, and I added several widgets to make sure. BTW I'm pretty familiar with WP, I've made dozens of sites and teach a college class on it :)

    So you should re-install wordpress then and theme files because sidebars works on 100%. We tested them on our side thousand of times and there is no problems related with theme at all.

    Okay, so I did all that, and it's still not working. Would you be able to login and see what's going on?

    Hello, I am having a similar issue. I have uploaded new theme files and Wordpress but still can't get the sidebars to show up.

    Hi @etccl
    Where do you want your sidebars to show?

    I think I have it working. There were some sidebars that were created a while back and they were no longer working but I am able to get new ones to work. Going to delete all the old ones and create new ones and assign to pages. Quick question though, the only way to get a different sidebar on different pages is to manually assign to each and every page, correct? Its just I have about 300-400 pages of content that were just imported over and if I could get around manually assigning sidebars to each page that would be great but understand that I probably don't have a choice. Thought I would ask just to be sure though :)

    Thanks in advance.

    I am having the same problem as sheila589. What was the resolution for her problem?
  • BryanBryan
    You can set the sidebars for all pages globally in theme options>sidebars, these option have priority over the local settings of the sidebars when editing the pages.

    Setting sidebars for pages globally would set the same exact sidebar for every page though, not allow you to assign different sidebars to different pages, correct. Muffin doesn't have a bulk add sidebars to pages in the Quick Edit, right? Just wanted to verify there is not an easier way to assign those before I go an manually assign sidebars to all 300/400 of my pages. Please just let me know. Thanks in advance. 
  • BryanBryan
    No sorry, you either add them all in theme options>sidebars or add them one by one on page edit.
