How To Display Sidebar in Single Post in WordPress 1.5 / 2.0 Default Kubrick Theme
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkMonday, December 26, 2005
WordPress default theme (Kubrick based) does not display sidebar on single post page. However with a minor change in the theme you can make it to display sidebar. This works in the default theme of WordPress 2.0 and 1.5.x.
Login as admin.
Click on Presentation / Theme Editor / Single Post.
Change the second line from:
<div id="content" class="widecolumn">
to
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
Then add this line :
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
just before the last line containing:
<?php get_footer(); ?>
You are done!
Now you will have a sidebar, identical to the front page, on all your post pages.
Note: This supercedes my earlier post on this sidebar problem, as this solution is without any side-effect, unlike my previous solution.

Thanks for the simple, effective solution! In addition to adding the sidebar, your solution also appears to have corrected a title centering issue I was having with long titled posts under the default style. Thanks again!! |
