Can I get any help on this topic? I cannot find any other support for this topic or way of contacting the developer.

No worries mate. Thanks for your help so far, I really appreciate it.

Yeah unfortunately that’s what my employer is after: that same calendar but in the position it’s in on the news page on other pages as well, like the Home Page.

I guess there’s no way of doing it then :\

Ok so I’ve messed around with those widgets you linked me too, but I’m still struggling to get the results I’m after.

I’ve added a link bellow to one of the pages of our site, the news blog. It has the exact calendar my employer wants on our home page.

Link here

Is there any way you think I could make that happen?

Ok so I had another look through: I found that all the colour settings were still there under ‘theme settings’, but they just had to be reselected.

However I still have one issue. There used to be a white block behind all text in the body of each page, blocking out the background. It’s a bit harder to read now without it.

Any ideas?

I probably should have done that to begin with ??

Cheers man, that helps a lot.

Damn, that sucks. My boss is dead-set on the theme we have, but also on a calendar sidebar. I’ll have to try something else.

For now I’ve just got the footer sidebar with a calendar. Is there any way to only have it on specific pages?

Ok I feel like I’m taking one step forward and two steps back:

I understand now that my pages theme or whatever doesn’t allow a sidebar on the ‘Homepage’, and that other pages can support a sidebar.

So what I’ve done is made a new page, called it ‘Home – New’ and published it to my site. I’ve also added the calendar widget to every sidebar option on the widget page, as well as going through several pages (including the new page ‘Home – New’) and selecting all of the sidebar options from the ‘page sidebar’ dropdown on the right side of the edit page, but I still cannot see a calendar anywhere on my site.

In your last post you said the ‘page’ widget sidebar would only appear on certain pages, such as ‘about’ or ‘contacts’. How does WordPress distinguish which pages are ‘home’ pages and which are ‘about’ or ‘contact’ pages?

Looking around I went into the ‘customize’ option on the theme page and I’ve found something that might be the problem.
I’m viewing a preview of my website, and on the left side I have the following options:
Site Title & Tagline
Colour
Background Image
Navigation
Static Font Page
Widgets: Footer Sidebar

Is this why I can easily add widgets to the footer sidebar but I’m having so much trouble with the “page” sidebar?

Ah ok, that explains a lot. Can you help me understand where the “page” sidebar should show up? All I’m really after is a little calendar on the side of the main page. I’ve got the calendar widget attached to the “page” sidebar but I still cant see it anywhere.

Yes all the options I listed before, Page, Blog, Contacts etc are all Sidebar options on the right side of the widget page. I can drag widgets over from the left and add them to any of the sidebars.
For example, I selected a few different widgets like ‘calendar’ and ‘text’, adding them to all the different sidebars, but but I’m done and I refresh my website, the only thing that’s been added to the site is a footer sidebar.
Could the other sidebars be disabled or hidden in any way?

The theme is ‘Nebula’. I can see the following Sidebars on the Widget page:
Page
Blog
Contacts
Single Post
Single Image Page
Archives
Category
Search
Tag
Footer

Any other information I can provide you with that might help?

Cheers for that. I also only just got admin level access which also helps a lots ??
