    Hi, I am having a problem on my blog page where the sidebar has disappeared.

    Can you please help me?

    Another user had the same problem on this thread but the solution is not listed: http://www.dfactory.co/support/topic/widget-makes-sidebar-disappear/#post-2454

    If you need me to I can create a temporary admin access for you so that you can fix the problem.

    Before we look at the admin, could you describe the issue in more detail? What did you do, step by step.

    Step by step:
    1) I go to Appearance => Widgets
    2) Drag the ‘Text’ widget to the ‘Right Sidebar’
    3) Fill in the information for the text
    4) Choose ‘Display Widget of Selected’
    5) Choose the blog page called ‘Testimonials’ as the page to display the widget
    6) Click save
    7) Go to fresh instance of the blog page
    8) The widget does not show up
    9) Tried this with all of the widgets, including the stock widgets that come with WordPress
    10) None of the widgets show up

    Note: All of the widgets work with your plugin when I try them on the pages using the default template but does not work with the blog template for a page.

    Stephen, if your blog page – the one where you display all posts, is Testimonials page, than (in terms of wordpress conditional tags) this is not a Page but Homepage.

    Please modify your Display Widget of Selected setting and see if it works.

    Thank you, it turned out that I had to choose the category ‘Testimonies’ instead of the page. Thanks again!
