Hi guys, I’m trying to set my blog page so the it has a sidebar. I would also like to remove the shadow border around the blogs.
I have set the Blog page as my Posts Page and I hvae changed the template to layout – content left, sidebar right. But this makes no difference.
Please can you help me add sidebar to blog page and remove shadow?
many thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for writing in!

1. To remove the shadow, you can add this under Custom > Edit Global CSS in the Customizer.

.single-post article.comment,
.single-post .entry-wrap,
.blog .entry-wrap {
    box-shadow:none;
}

2. You also need to set your blog layout to use the global content layout

Hope that helps.

Hi, thanks, that helped to remove the shadow.
However my blog is already set to the global content layout and it doesn’t show the sidebar. Please can you help investigate a bit more?
The search box and recent posts should be showing up but aren’t.
many thanks

I have sent them in two private messages. Also just to say that I only want the sidebar to appear on a blog and a news page. Not the homepage or any others.
many thanks!
