Hueman Child Theme Not Showing Sidebars When Activated

    Hello!

    I’ve followed the steps to upload and install the child theme, then activated it. When activated, the child theme doesn’t show the left and right sidebars, as they appear when the Hueman theme is activated.

    Could anyone with more knowledge of the theme please tell me how to get the sidebar content back when the child theme is activated?

    (BTW: I have left and right “Sidebars” selected in the layout window of the theme options.)

    Confused…shouldn’t they just appear if selected in the layout options?

    Thanks in advance.

    I just wanted to add…it appears that when you activate the Hueman and add widgets, then activate the Hueman child theme…all the widgets you set in the Hueman theme are wiped out.

    I’m not sure if this is true for other themes across the board, but it looks like this is what’s happening in this scenario.

    Just thought I’d throw that out there for those new to both themes.

    Hi LouALee. This is from the WP Codex:

    If you change WordPress Themes, the Widgets will return to the left side of the page in the Widget Archives or Available Widgets list. You may need to add them again and rearrangement depending upon the Theme’s ability to preserve other Theme’s Widgets.

    Hi bd,

    Yep, Thanks for all your helpful posts in the forum.
    I am new to child themes (only used custom CSS and wasn’t aware of this, but am now.

    Just wanted any child theme newbies to know that if they activate the child theme AFTER they have added content and widgets, they will likely need to reset them to see the sidebar content.

    marking this as resolved ??
