Custom widget area assignments, blog page vs single posts

[mbsteal2002]

Hi Jason – Ok I added the custom widget to my blog page – it shows up great on my main page – but when I click into each blog post it doesn’t take – I’ve tried all of the settings and nothing works – not sure what I’m doing wrong – http://www.lodestonelogic.com

Thanks, Michele

Hello Michele,

Keep in mind that the blog page and the single posts are completely independent of each other. Your blog page is just a static page where you’re listing out blog posts. Any settings you apply to that page are not going to correspond to the single posts you’re clicking through to.

First, you need to select the sidebar right layout for your entire site so it wil get applied to all the single posts throughout your site. Right now, it looks like you have it set to full width, and so obviously no sidebar will show at all there.

Then the second step is to assign your blog sidebar to the single post pages.

Does that make sense?
