    If I have a static home page, and set the “posts”(blog) page as another page, then I can’t figure out how to have a sidebar showing “latest posts” and “categories” on just the blog page. Even if I set the template to “sidebar” (doesn’t matter which one I choose), no sidebar appears.

    If I leave the posts page as “unspecified” in the Customize->Static Home Page settings, and just set the page template to “blog”, then I can have the sidebar as I want. BUT, for some reason the Post “Titles” are not displayed in the main part of the page.

    Can you please tell me how to fix this?

    Thanks!

    `@janetSchaper: You can’t specify sidebar in Post page set as it will take take Optional Archive Sidebar and if that is empty then main sidebar.

    I see that you have added the following CSS to hide the page title
    .page .entry-header { display: none; }

    To overwrite the css to hide the title and to just show the title on blog page, you need to add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box.
    .page.page-blog .entry-header { display: block; }

    Thank you for the CSS to show the blog title! That works just fine.
