 * Hello,
    I have created a site using pages with a sidebar on the righthand side
   using the Blogside theme. Under the sidebars options I have set Primary for: 
   Home, Single and Default Page. The sidebar contains a menu. The front page (set
   as default) has an image. This image appears at the top of all pages. Each child
   page has a featured image. These images are not displayed on the page. One of
   the featured images from a child page appears in all sidebars. I am unclear: 
   1. Why one of the featured images from a child page appears in all sidebars? 
   2. Why no other featured image appears on the child page? 3. How I cam get each
   of the featured images in the child pages to appear instead in the page’s sidebar?
 * You help would be appreaciated.
 * Regards,
 * Robert

 * Hi Robert!
 * Sounds strange with the inconsistent images – do you have any live website where
   I can view it? I can’t give any good answers yet as I don’t fully understand 
   what is going on.
 * 1) There should be no images appearing in the sidebar except for the profile 
   image there, unless you’ve added some widget which displays it somehow.
    2) Not
   sure here where they are supposed to appear. Featured images are not displayed
   anywhere unless you insert them on the pages. 3) Hm, the sidebar always has a
   single profile image. Do you want to change that image depending on which page
   you are on? Or are we talking of images below that image, as widgets?

 * Hi Alexander,
 * Thank you for your reply. Your answers have helped me resolve the first of my
   questions. There is a widget called Primary and this contains the image that 
   appears in each of the sidebars (above the navigation menu). I now see that this
   works as designed.
 * To clarify 2, the Featured Image in the description of a page’s Document attributes,
   does not appear on the page unless it is inserted into the page design.
 * On 3, I would like to display a unique image on each page. Preferably this image
   is at the top of the sidebar, instead of the current Primary image.
 * The website is hughesconsult.co.uk
 * Once agine, thank you for your reply.
 * Regards,
 * Robert

 * To create a sidebar for each page, go to:
    Customize > Theme Extensions > Custom
   Sidebars > Add new sidebar (Requires Alx Extensions plugin to be installed and
   active)
 * There you can create a widget sidebar for each page you want.
 * Then save, and go to edit the page(s) you want to change sidebar for. Scroll 
   down to the bottom and select your sidebar below the large text field in the 
   admin panel where it says “Primary Sidebar:”. (Requires the Meta Box plugin to
   show up) Save and you should now be able to add another image to this widget-
   sidebar. Repeat this step for all pages you want another image on.
 * As for the featured image, you need to insert it on the page itself where you
   want it to show up.

 * Thank you for that explanation Alexander. Quite straight forward when you know
   how.
