This post is intended for those who are facing trouble in make the side bar widgets display when you click and read every post of your blog.

Here we go. Follow the following simple steps.

Appearance —-> Editor. 

3. There at your top right corner select the theme which you want  to edit. After selection you will see list for files shown in the right corner.

4. Click on Single Post (single.php). That will open a editor. At the starting of the file,

<div id=”content”  class=”widecolumn”  role=”main”> (probably the Ln:no 10)

Change this to <div id=”content”  class=”narrowcolumn”  role=”main”>

5. At the end of the file. Just above <?php get_footer(); ?> add a new line

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>.

6. Save the file. Thats it. You will get sidebar with the selected widgets in all the posts page.
