Permanently View Widgets

Hi,

I have seen this discussed before, and I have been able to get this working, all of a sudden it’s not working anymore and I don’t know how I fixed it earlier.

I looked back into the threads and nothing is working for me. I want to make the widgets viewable without having to press the plus sign.

I do not have a child’s theme. I do have a CSS plugin that I am using and I put in the code…

#secondary {
clear: both;
display: none;
padding: 50px 0;
}

It’s not working, any suggestions???
