    I installed a nice new theme, RCG Forest at my mcleveland.org/blog. However, unlike previous themes, the sidebar disappears when one clicks to individual posts. How can I keep the sidebar visible? (I don’t know much php.) Or do I need to find another theme? Thanks

  • You can use plugin name Display widgets. My site at https://www.ftmsglobal.com.vn using this plugin and my site more flexible. ??

    I successfully installed the plugin, Display widgets, but it didn’t solve my problem. The sidebar still disappears.

    open the theme’s single.php and add this right before footer call
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    I checked the author’s website; he’s Brazilian. The theme seems to work properly on his website, that is, the sidebar does not disappear.

    I made the change to single.php. No luck. The sidebar still doesn’t show. Maybe my installation is defective in some way.

    In your theme folder, open style.css line 93 and change

    .onecolumn {
    float:left;
    margin:0 0 0 10px;
    width:500px;
    }

    I hope it will ok! ??

    This doesn’t quite succeed either. The text ends up jammed against the left of the page. Doesn’t look good. The sidebar on the home page has a light gray background, but the sidebar on the other pages just has a white background.

    Is it possible this theme was designed for an earlier version of Word Press? Maybe that’s why it doesn’t work properly.

    Actually, this was a design option.

    To change this behavior, you should make the following changes:
    – file single.php, line 3, replace class="onecolumn" with class="twocolumns"
    – file single.php, at the end, before <?php get_footer(); ?>, add <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    – file header.php, at the end, replace <div id="page" <?php if(!is_single()) {?> class="imagebg"<?php }?>> with <div id="page" class="imagebg">

    I think this should be enough.
