Does anyone know how to make the things that show on the right hand side of the wordpress blog such as categories, archives and pages show on each individual blog posts page? or is it dependent on the wordpress theme you are using.
In simple words how do you make the things that show on the right hand side show on every individual page of your blog.

Thanks
Wilson

    It depends on the theme you're using.

    On most themes, it should just carry over to each page/post. If it isn't, just find another theme where it does.

    Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but it sounds similar to what I was faced with a while back:

    Or if the theme you are using does not have that column activated, you can just edit the main theme file and add the column if you really like the look of that theme. otherwise, find a new theme, might save you more time

    Hi Wilson,

    By 'thing on the right', I assume you mean the WordPress Sidebar.

    Whether the sidebar will be displayed or not is controlled by the theme you're using. Which theme are you using, by the way? Usually, it is just a single line of code that you need to add to your theme's "single.php" file. The code to add is:

    get_sidebar();

    But please do confirm the above code from the WordPress Codex

    EDIT:
    Here's a tutorial I found:

    Hope this helps

    Regards,

      Thanks Sagar, but it says that I do not have permission to do this on this theme so I am just going to change it

    Wilson,

    You can change the permissions on the file you're trying to edit. You need to set the CHMOD settings for the file to 666 to make it writable - then you can edit it.

    The way I change file permissions is to highlight the file using my FTP software and then right-click and select chmod. In the box that comes up I make sure the three write boxes are checked (the three read boxes are usually already checked).

    That changes the permissions on the file to 666 so that it can be written to or edited. There are probably other methods to do the same thing but that's how I do it.
