All of my regular pages that have a title on my navigation bar have the sidebar that includes my social media links, latest blog post titles, categories, and twitter feed.  The individual posts only have the post and the comment area.  There is an option on the page upon which I write the post to Format.  My choices are:standard, aside, link, gallery, status, quote and image.  I would like to at least include the categories on those individual post pages.  Any suggestions?

@deereinhardt Or is it that you want your Categories to appear under or above your post area?

@deereinhardt, this is going to involve some editing of your theme files. I believe what you want to do is to add the sidebar contents when viewing an individual post.

To do that you will need to edit the following file in your Twenty Eleven theme:

/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/single.php

The very last line in that file should have the following line:

<?php get_footer(); ?>

What you want to do is add an additional line right before that last line:

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

So it should now be:

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

You should now have the sidebar whenever you view an individual post.

OOPs, @howwhowhen, I tried your suggestion and it worked, but the sidebar overlaps with the actual post.  I was trying to look in the code to see how to move the margin on the single page post but couldn’t figure it out.  My coding experience is not that advanced.  do you have any suggestions on that?

@deereinhardt, Here are the steps that should make it work. Follow my instructions for modifying single.php as I wrote above. Second, you also need to modify the functions.php file. In line number 589 of that file there should be a line like so:

classes[] = ‘singular’;

Now comment it out by changing it to the following:

/*classes[] = ‘singular’;*/

That should allow the sidebar on posts and fix the layout issues. Hope that works for you.

@howwhowhen Well, I tried what you suggested and it gave me a couple of errors.  I went back to just adding the sidebar and it worked.  Who knows why things do certain things.  BUT it works.  I really really appreciate the time you invested on my behalf.  Let me know if I can help you with something!!!

@deereinhardt looks like you have this fixed?
