  • My best guess at why images are not showing on the main page would be that your theme only shows the_excerpt on the home page whereas it uses the_content on the other pages.

    As for the other things maybe there are some conditional tags showing certain things on certain pages?

    I understand absolutely no php at all. Do you know how I can display The Blog Main Page To the same as the posts whick looks ok. When visitors access my blog then most of the page is missing because they have not accessed the post, just the main blog front which looks a mess.

    Do I have to use the index php to show the sidebar text widgets on the blog main page? not just the posts

    Yes. index.php is the template file used for the main posts page, so you need to add your widget-ready area to this file.

    I feel a little apprehensive in asking you how to. Do I put the widget contents under the php sidebar code? This is a wild Guess as I have looked it up, but cant find the details.

    </div>

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Do I put the widget contents under the php sidebar code?

    Don’t get too hung up on the term ‘sidebar’. In the context of widgets, a dynamic sidebar is just a widget ready area that can be anywhere on the page – not just in a physical sidebar. The first question you need to ask yourself is – where do I want my widgets to appear in the main posts page? The answer to that question will dictate where you add call to the new ‘dynamic sidebar’.
