    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!!
