    Looking everywhere and can't find option to change the side for the sidebar from right to left side.

    I THINK I saw mention in another discussion here...and it looked as if you guys said it's not possible?

    Hi cyberfyber,

    Which page is this?
    Could we have a link?

    There is a page template for sidebar and sidebar left in the page attributes section.
    You can try that to shift the sidebar.

    Thanks.

    Sorry, but how does a sidebar for pages help in dealing with post sidebars. Are you suggesting I convert thousands of posts to pages?

    Hi cyberfyber,

    No, we are not.

    You did not specify where the sidebar was on that is why we asked for a link.
    We also referenced those areas where you can change the sidebar as a guess since it's not clear if its a page or post.

    You did not include a link to your response.
    It's important and it would be best you try and respond with appropriate information please.

    And as a guess - since we have not seen the page in question - you might need to move some code on some theme files to move the sidebar to where you want it. Just a heads up. 

    Thanks.

    Well, I'm referring to posts. Soooo, any clue on what I need to do?

    Hi cyberfyber,

    To move the sidebar on the left on the main post page you will need to modify the following file:

    salient \ single.php 

    The sidebar is on line 300 - 302

    It's not exactly a simple mode. The whole logic for adding the sidebar is basically line 298 - 305.
    You will want to move that before line 216 where the main post area div is created.

    Hope you can implement this from there.
