Sidebar is not showing

boaelite14 · May 2020

I've followed your guide, I've created a sidebar in the theme options, added content to it in the widgets page, on the post itself, I've selected it as the layout. Yet it's not showing up... Nothing that I do will trigger showing the sidebar.

Built my website using the "Crypto" example.

Hi,
Please always attach a link so we can check it out. If the page is offline(localhost) then our help will be limited, you will have to contact us when the page is online. Also please make sure that the page is not under maintenance before you provide us the link.
It is always a good idea to also attach a screenshot, for that use services like snag.gy or pasteboard.co

Please send me a screenshot of the name of sidebar.

thanks

Please check, if all of the steps are followed correctly:

1) Create a sidebar in Theme Options > Sidebar - be sure, that you did not any special signs or following names: boddy, events, forum, shop

2) Populate with items your sidebar, in Appearance > Widgets

3) Set the side of the sidebar and name of it on the main blog page.

Does space count as a special character? if not, than I don't know what's wrong.

Some dummy content is there, not showing up though.

The screenshot is of the blog post, not the blog page.

In the blog page, it works to add a sidebar.

In the blog post, it does not.

1) Do not use blank spaces too, it's not a good idea at all.

3) Please go to the Theme Options > Sidebars and place a name of your sidebar in field dedicated to single posts

Created a new sidebar called 'BlogSidebar' moved the widget content to the new sidebar.

Side note - you guys really need and can add validation to wp-admin fields if those are required and not leave it up to users to decipher what is or isn't a special char.

3. Done + i've updated the post to the new sidebar.

FYI now I have the sidebar 'stuck' in my home page where I do not want it.

I've tried to set 'Full width No sidebar' in the layout of the home page settings, does not remove it...

It's like this setting is not being evaluated...

Could it be a clash with "Elementor" plugin in some way? as the page is built with you "Muffin" builder, but the plugin is enabled and used in other pages...

So I wonder, if they don't work well together.

Also, the template of the page (home page in the example) - could be related somehow...
