How can I add a right sidebar to this theme?

Thank you, NoahB!!

Sure! Anytime!

Ok, I’ve done all that. Now how do I get the right sidebar to appear on my pages?

Thank you to everyone who has been helping me. I really appreciate it!

Well… The sidebar auto-disables if there are no widgets. Do you have any widgets currently in the sidebar?

Yes, I do. There are widgets, but they are showing up under the left content at the bottom, instead of on the right: https://www.rairosewriting.com/

Ah… Okay. Can you please post a screen-shot of your widgets admin panel?

Sure. Here it is:

Hmm… There is not even a sidebar div. Can you check that your theme has something like a sidebar.php file? Strange.

See, that’s the problem. There is a sidebar div for the index.php page. And there is a sidebar.php file. However, the sidebar div isn’t being pulled onto the post pages with the page.php file.

Hmm… My best idea is to make a custom sidebar PHP loop in the index.php file. That way it’ll always be pulled in. (The easiest way would possibly to just copy and paste the image from the sidebar.php file.)

I think I did that, but the css (style.css) is not allowing the page to be the proper width for the side bar to be aligned on the right. It is still being pushed to the bottom: https://www.rairosewriting.com

You may just try to play around with the with values for the columns or posts… I will try and help if you will please make another test post on the blog. That will help with the CSS width styling.

I’ve been playing around with it for days and I’ve still had no luck getting it to where I want it.

Here is the test PAGE: https://www.rairosewriting.com/

But I want every page to look like this: https://www.rairosewriting.com/2013/06/

I will not be using the posts in my website. I’ll only be using pages. So I want the page layout to look like the post layout with the sidebar on the right.

I just realized that the layout I like is the ARCHIVES page. So I want every page to have the same layout as the archives page (https://www.rairosewriting.com/2013/06/). I want every page to have the right-hand sidebar.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to get this to work?
