Sidebar Conflict with Posts Page, Missing Page title

  • We’re trying to use the blog on this site for the first time and are running into some strange glitches. When adding a sidebar to the page the content of the main and sidebar columns extends into one another. See screenshot: https://snipboard.io/xZAucr.jpg

    I’ve disabled the sidebar for now because it looks terrible.

    Also, the page title is missing and there doesn’t seem to be any way to make it visible.

    Help?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @catwingz,

    Based on our previous interaction, it appears that your Storefront‘s CSS files may be corrupted.

    I recommend switching to Twenty Twenty-Three or any other theme temporarily, deleting the current version of Storefront, and installing a fresh version using the provided link.

    Please ensure that you create a backup of your site in case things go wrong.

    If you still have this issue after doing so, please let us know.

    Cheers!

    @babylon1999 , I found the cause of the sidebar issue. I did more digging into the inherited CSS and found this:

    `</p> <p>`*html .right-sidebar .widget-area {
    width: 21.7391 title visible?304348%;
    float: left;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-left: -80px;
    }

    With it commented out the sidebar is as it should be. Much better!

    Can you tell me how to make the page title visible?

    Thank you

    Hi @catwingz

    I can see you’re using the default WordPress blog template to show the blog post and it’s the default WordPress behaviour, you need to customize the template in the core file to add the title.

    Alternate, the?WordPress block (Gutenberg) editor?has a built-in block for displaying your latest posts. You can easily add this to any of the posts or pages on your site. To use this block, simply edit the page where you want to display recent posts. On the post edit screen, you need to add the ‘Latest Posts’ block to the content area.

    For more detail, check this tutorial: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-display-recent-posts-in-wordpress/#block

    By using this block, you have more control to customize the blog page. And make sure to unselect the page in your WordPress > Settings > Reading > Posts page.

    Take a look at this screenshot: https://screencast-o-matic.com/i/c0fXDXVaH1L

    If you select the page in Posts page dropdown, then it will automatically show the default WordPress blog template.
