sidebars not working

did you download the file and activate it in the wordpress control panel?

I downloaded it and uploaded it to my server.

when you use the wordpress control panel and you see where it says .css and header page. etc. look and see if there is a sidebar folder there as well.

Yes, I have a sidebar page in my Dashboard > Presentation > Theme Editor

Please… can someone take a look?

Paste yout index.php code to https://pastebin.com and post back with the url.

I don’t see any call to sidebar.php or footer.php (or for a second sidebar). I am not familiar with the theme you are using, but it seems while modifying it – somehow those calls got lost. Check the original and compare with your code: there should be something like:
<?php get_sidebar(); ?> etc.

Some themes call for the sidebar via the header or footer. Look there too.

Thanks, archshrk, that’s true. I should have mentioned that.

it’s in the footer: https://pastebin.com/393479

Aha. So, now you have to check the header.php whether it has a call for footer (though that would be strange) – or place the call for the footer.php at the end of the index file, using the example above.

it looks to me that the footer is being called with an action??

Just put the code as I said.
<?php get_footer(); ?> – at the bottom of the index.php.

thanks. I guess I just need to reformat the css positioning now. https://www.halfandhalf.org/wordpress/
