Blog Block not displaying anything in right sidebar

    Hi,
    I'm using the blog block - second from the bottom. In the preview mode when you click on one of the blogs from the main page it goes to the actual blog. Under the image and text there is a Submit a Comment area and there is a right sidebar with a search box, Recent Posts and Recent Comments.

    On the site I'm making I only see the image and text. No comments and the right side bar is empty. I'm not sure if they should be there as part of this block or if it's something that I need to configure. Can you please advise?

    Also can you advise what size the image should be for the main page and the individual blog page so it doesn't get cropped. I've added the code to show images sizes but don't know how to check these two images.

    Thanks

    For the sidebar, you need to add it in: WP Admin > Appearance > Widgets > Sidebar

    As for comments, check this out: https://wordpress.com/support/comments/
    You will need to add some code in your child theme functions.php to prevent cropping of the blog module thumbnail. Here's the code:

    Hi, Thanks for the tip regarding the sidebar. Not really used Blogs much before so didn't understand that this wasn't connected to the block.

    I tried adding the code to the Functions.php of the child theme and via a code snipit plugin but it doesn't seem to work. The image is still cropped.
    Any ideas why?

    Upon further checking, you still need to go to the Blog module settings > Advanced > Custom CSS > Module Elements > Featured Image & remove this: height: 180px!important;
