Adding Sidebar: How To Fix This In Wordpress (Picture Included)

I installed a wordpress blog, but I don't have any sidebars to put my widgets in - here's what it looks like:

How do I put those sidebars in there?

Please help!

 

Did you make your own template? If you've just installed a free theme, I think you have to install a new one ready with dynamic sidebars.

 

Have you installed your theme correctly as when I tried to go to your site? I got a database error.

Are you sure your theme isn't broken?

 

The site Im having trouble with is not rawcharisma.com, but a different one.

The theme is a paid one - called THESIS.

I have sidebars on the other site, where I'm using the same theme, tho on this one they're not showing

 

hm - not sure then. Have you tried deleting the theme and re-installing?

 

just did that - didn't work

 

hm - Really not sure then.

Apart from looking at the actual script to check nothing is broken then don't know what to suggest.

Found this tutorial on thesis and sidebars. Don't know if that will be a help.

uninstalled wordpress and erased msql - it worked...

now I've got 2 sidebars over there.

The trick is installing the theme with sidebars first.

 

Now I just tried on a different blog - but instead of uninstalling wordpress and what not - I just disabled some of the plugins - and 2 sidebars appeared!

maybe plugins were blocking the sidebars.

but it's fixed now.

 

Glad you sorted it.
