Sidebars are narrow columns and can appear to the left, right, or flanking the widest column in the blog layout, which is where the blog post (or blog page) content appears.
The sidebar rendering at the bottom of a blog is generally a symptom of having an unclosed tag in your blog template markup. The most common cause results from if you have an opening or closing within an if statement in your Blog Content module markup.
How do I add a sidebar to my blog?
To create a sidebar in the Widgets page:
- From your WordPress dashboard, select Appearance > Widgets.
- Add a widget to your sidebar by clicking and dragging an available widget from into the Sidebar dropdown.
- Customize your widget settings.
- Add as many widgets to your sidebars as you like, then preview your changes.
On the Edit Sidebar screen, click on the bottommost “Select content type” and select Posts And that’s it! The sidebar will now be hidden on all posts and the blog (Posts Page). If you only want to hide it on the Blog page, click on the Settings button for the condition and toggle Singulars to OFF.
If a static page often comes with a full-width template by default, most WordPress themes always put a sidebar on a blog page. In order to remove the sidebar only from blog pages, follow these steps below:
Why is my sidebar not showing on my website?
Sometimes this is caused by an error in the code that keeps the code from executing further. It can even be code within a post. When this happens, you can see the sidebars on every page except the page with that post. Before you start experimenting and making changes with your code, make sure you have a recent backup.
You can simply add custom CSS to fix up the width. Your website is made of multiple pages and posts. Sometimes you may only need to remove the sidebar on a specific page and post without affecting other pages. The process is pretty similar to removing the sidebar completely from anywhere in your website.
