Notes do not appear in sidebar, only as popup

    I’m experimenting with Side Matter. I really like the idea of it. I’m running WordPress 3.6.1 with a theme called Decode (version 2.8) by Scott Smith. It allows for Sidebars, either on the left or the right.

    I just wrote a piece that has a note in the bottom paragraph. The content of the note is visible when the mouse hovers over the footnote number, but is not visible in the sidebar. Any help you can give me is much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Hi davidfis,

    It looks like that theme doesn’t include a standard sidebar; instead it uses a popout “drawer” that doesn’t scroll with the rest of the content. I’m afraid this will prevent Side Matter from working with the Decode theme — the notes need a regular old sidebar to display properly. If you have experience with theme development and CSS, you could maybe hack together a static sidebar for Decode (the theme author might have more ideas).

    Hi, I’ve got the same problem with the Atahualpa theme. It has sidebars (two on each side if you set it up that way) but there is nothing showing up in any of the sidebars, only a tooltip in the page centre when you hover over a footnote number. The site is at https://www.selfbuild-central.co.uk/
    and I’m using Atahualpa 3.7.11 on wordpress 3.5.1
