Focus Theme - How to add latest post in sidebar in Focus Responsive theme

[WallBB]

I have the same problem as NewNewbie. The plugin gives me a double column. Even tried a newer plugin with the same results.

Don't use other plugins.
Also please use the plugin added as attachment in first post, it will work fine

Tried it a few more times and still can't get it right.

Hi Hyperspace,
You didn't add {$sidebar} in your template and because of that it was not showing latest post.
I added that variable and it is showing now

Also you have not uploaded focus images folder inside FTP.

Thanks for fixing it. I added {$sidebar} when I tried it but removed it after it didn't work right. It looks like my error was not uploading the Focus images.

Good luck with your forum

If you are using the theme while installing the sidebar plugin some code will be added to your index code. It will make double sidebar and theme will be broken.

things to do

1. Backup your index code first
2. Install the sidebar plugin
3. restore the backup code of your index then replace the code that is in the tutorial.
4. Enjoy

I also found myself having a double column, with the Focus Responsive Theme.

So have an issue with adding latest post to sidebar.
