Why can't I get the sidebar to appear on my blog page?

  • Hi. I have a static front page, plus three pages, and a blog as the 5th page. I have the default page set to one-column. I want a sidebar on the right of my blog page, but for some reason it isn’t showing up. I’m using a Twenty Eleven child theme. I didn’t think this would be such a hassle – should be a pretty common setup, right? Anybody know the solution to this?
    Here is my site: https://www.customerannex.com
    I want the right sidebar on the “Blog” page.
    Thanks!

  • Your Blog “page” is not a WordPress Page, but a display of Posts. Twenty Eleven doesn’t support a sidebar on that display.

    I use the Twenty Eleven Theme Extensions plugin to place a sidebar on one of my WordPress sites.

    I’ll give this plugin a shot. Thanks for your advice!

    Unfortunately this plugin makes changes to all of my pages – not just the blog page. I am only looking to change that page / display of posts.
    Any other suggestions?

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    I figured it out. Here is what I did:
    In Header I changed
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<?php bloginfo( 'stylesheet_url' ); ?>" />
    to

    <?php if( is_home() ) :?>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="custom css file" media="screen" />
<?php else :?>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<?php bloginfo( 'stylesheet_url' ); ?>" />
<?php endif;?>

    Then I made a custom css file to modify the #primary width settings.
