How To Display Sidebar in Single Post in WordPress 1.5 / 2.0 Default Kubrick Theme
December 26th, 2005 by Angsuman ChakrabortyWordPress 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 so much. You are a life-saver. I have two blogs and have been trying to add the sidebar to my single pages foreover and have been tearing my hair out. Thanks for the wide to narrow fix … just in time before I lost the last of my hair.

If you want your sidebar with background, as on main page, you also need fix this string in header.php:
“if ( !$withcomments && !is_single() ) {” - we need “if ( !$withcomments ) {”. Enjoy!

Much gratitude for the quick and simple fix. BTW, for wordpress 2.2, the file to modify is single.php.
Cheers!

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!!
