snobtrader 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 The main page of my blog (http://www.blue-point-trading.com/blog) only allows the secondary sidebar to show instead of the main sidebar...No welcoming text, only the secondary sidebar.. I tried restoring the settings, crating a new blog page, nothing worked so far Please help Best regards Snobtrader Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew 207 Report post Posted January 18, 2010 did you manually change anything in sidebar.php? Actually the main posts page should be the only page where you can't see the secondary sidebar (WP handles the posts page differently than the rest) have you set any custom fields? (like one for the secondary sidebar..) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snobtrader 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2010 Hey arpowers, No, I have not changed anything manually in sidebar.php. I do use a secondary sidebar (for the blog posts) and a main sidebar for the blog itself. No, no custom fields for the Blog Page set... Quite a big problem actually I really tried everything I could and the main sidebar seems to appear on every other page except the Blog :-( Please help...

snobtrader 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2010 In addition to that, it says if I remove all widgets from the secondary sidebar: The secondary sidebar has been selected but doesn't have any widgets. Add some widgets to your secondary sidebar in your admin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew 207 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 its probably being set that way because you're using it on the posts... How do you set the "secondary sidebar" on the posts? by selecting the custom field on each one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snobtrader 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 No! I choose the button on the bottom , use secondary sidebar.... What can I do so I get back the Welcome Message? Best regards Snobtrader Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew 207 Report post Posted January 22, 2010 ok try this: change: `<?php if(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'secondary_sidebar', true)):?>` to this: `<?php if(!is_home() && get_post_meta($post->ID, 'secondary_sidebar', true)):?>` in sidebar.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
