    I want my main index page to have two columns with a sidebar, and it does, but the problem is that the content in the second column is covering up and hiding my sidebar. How do I fix this?

    Can you share a link to your blog so I can see what you mean?

    By editing your theme’s stylesheet. Unless you provide a link to a page demonstrating the problem, no one will be able to offer much in the way of additional assistance.

    Sorry about that. Very new to all this. Here’s the link

    Unless you are fairly competent using HTML, CSS & PHP, I’d suggest you start looking for a new 3-column theme. Converting that 2 column theme into a 3-column one is going to take a lot of work.

    In all honesty this theme wasn’t designed to have a sidebar on the blog index page. If you want to do this you would suggest creating a child theme and just overriding the files you need changed like…

    loop.php
    and a lot of css in style.css

    You would also want to remove the enqueued masonry.js as it’s what makes the current home page layout work.

    It can be done but you are talking about a lot of modification to make the theme something it wasn’t meant to be. I could probably create a quick child theme for you that would accomplish this but I wouldn’t be able to do it for a couple weeks.

    Ahh, well that would explain why I couldn’t make it work. I thought I would be able to have a sidebar on the index page. I definitely don’t have the kind of knowledge you guys are talking about to make that much modification. I’ll just nix the sidebar on the home page. Back to the drawing board! ?? Thank you for your help!
