If you have the default theme in wordpress you may have noticed that when you click on the permalink to go to the individual blog posts, the sidebar dissapears. This is a huge mistake by Wordpress as a lot of your hits will come to your individual blog posts from the search engines. Luckily there is an easy solution to this I figured out. If you have a different theme and have this problem, then the solution should be probably similiar.

First thing go into your themes folder and then into the default folder, if you are using the default theme.

Open up the single.php file and look for this line of code:

<div id=”content” class=”widecolumn”>

Edit widecolumn to say narrowcolumn instead.

Next open up your sidebar.php file.

Search for the following code:

<?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if ( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?>

Move it after this line of code:

<?php wp_list_bookmarks(); ?>

This will make sure your entire sidebar, including your blogroll, is also shown on all pages.
