Re-upload a fresh, unpacked, copy of the Twenty Twelve folder to wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

Hi heikkenen,
If you go under the Appearance tab and go to Widgets, you can add widgets to the sidebar column by dragging and dropping to the widget areas from the widgets that are available.
The Front Page Template widget areas are at the bottom of the page. It doesn’t look like it has a sidebar, which might work if it didn’t leave a quarter of the page blank looking like there should be one. But thank you! Any other ideas?

I will try uploading a new Twenty Twelve file. Thank you.
Laurie
the sample photo does not actually show a page with the ‘front page template’;
what you see is very much the default layout of the ‘front page template’ with a half-width left column and space for a ‘featured image’ on the right;
only difference: your image is less wide than the available space.
the layout is controlled by css based on the body_classes of .template-front-page and .has-post-thumbnail
you might be better off not using the ‘featured image’ but to insert a right-aligned image into the content of the page.
Can you use a sidebar template for your home page if that is what you are trying to acheive?
Hey, folks, everyone, thank you so much. I found a solution. I switched from the Front Page Template (which apparently just doesn’t have a sidebar) to the Default, which allows sidebar widgets. It’s a bit counter-intuitive; you’d think the Front Page Template would look like a home page as displayed by WordPress. I put my photo in my body text, aligned right.
I’m rocking and rolling now.
Again many thanks,
Lsurie
