    I’m new to WordPress and have had no end to problems. The last one to be resolved is the sidebars on my blog post pages. When I try to use Custom Sidebars from the page where I write and edit posts, I get a little box that says Column 1 Static instead of the sidebar. It’s also on the main blog page covering something else that’s there.

    I’m using the Meditation theme.

    Thanks so much for your help.

    Hello @missyscats

    Hope you’re well!

    To show the Please make sure that the original sidebar can be replaced in Appearance > Widgets, and check Allow this sidebar to be replaced on the main sidebar. Please see the screenshot

    To show a sidebar on a home page, please edit the custom sidebar location. Under Archive Types tab, select “As Blog Sidebar for selected Archive Types” and choose Front Page.

    To show a custom Sidebar on Blog post pages, check on As Blog Sidebar for selected Post Types and add Posts in the field bellow.

    Please see the screenshot:

    Let us know how it went!

    Cheers,
    Nastia

    The little box is still there, and also on the one page I was experimenting with.
    http://howtolivewithcats.org/2018/01/21/test-test-test/ and http://howtolivewithcats.org/about/.

    This is so disheartening. I really wanted it to work. I thought if I moved my website and blogs from Weebly and Blogger, they’d do better in search. But I’m not sure it’s worth it.

    Thanks for your help.

    I just discovered I can add widgets to the sidebar through the customizer. You don’t even want to know how many hours I’ve spent on those sidebars. Feeling really, really dumb. 🙁

    Thanks again for your help.
