    I am using the default theme 1.5, following previous advise I did this:

    WordPress default theme (Kubrick based) does not display sidebar on single post page. However with a minor change in the theme you can make it to display sidebar. This works in the default theme of WordPress 2.0 and 1.5.x.

    Login as admin.
    Click on Presentation / Theme Editor / Single Post.
    Change the second line from:
    <div id=”content” class=”widecolumn”>
    to
    <div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>

    Then add this line :
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    just before the last line containing:
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Sidebar fully appears on all screens expect the comment page, still only get part of the sidebar, it leaves off the links and meta list. Any suggestions how to get the full sidebar to appear?

    moshu,

    I tried using All-Sidebar but it only brings in part of the sidebar on the comment page. Any suggestions how to get the full sidebar?

    What do you mean by “part of the sidebar”?
    Hmmm. Maybe the fact that the K. sidebar is full of if_statements? and shows (or doesn’t) different things in different views?
    You will have to edit the sidebar and eliminate the if statements. Don’t ask me how, I don’t touch K.

    moshu,

    I think the comment template is the problem. On the post template, when trying to post it calls the comment template, that seems to be in about the same spot that sidebar stops displaying so if I can resize the comment template box maybe sidebar will show. Any idea how to do the resizing?

    Does anyone know what file is the comment box on the comment page? I want to resize it making it smaller in width, I hope will let the sidebar fully display. I have tried the All-Sidebar theme but the sidebar on the comment page only displays part way.

    If you want the whole sidebar to show on all pages, using the fixes you done above, in the sidebar.php file…. find these two lines and remove them.

    <?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if ( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?>

    <?php } ?> <- near end of file..

    I hope that’s what you want? =)

    When I did that I got this

    Parse error: parse error, expecting `'(” in /usr2/home/asksierra/www/blog/wp-content/themes/default/sidebar.php on line 56

    ———————————————————–

    The sidebar disappeared completely, any other suggestions?
    I really want to get this to work and I’m sure it can be done.

    Hmmm, I’m not sure why you got that error, but maybe something was done with it that I wasn’t factoring in then maybe.

    I’m not sure what all was done with your files and such, but I have the downloadable zip and rar, with some fixes and such already applied.

    Here’s a link to the “demo” of it on a single post page as well. The zip or rar to download is there in that post also, I hope ya can get this figured out then.

    With that zip, you just unzip it some where, and upload the files within the folder, don’t upload it as a new theme ok. =) If you have tons of modifications to the blog, then backup what you have now, and re-apply them to these fixed files. =) Good luck. ??
