Wa ‘alaikum as-Salaam, it wasn’t with missing posts, it was missing comments, and it’s fixed now, ma sha Allah.

Salaam Alaikum,

I’m not able to access all the comments on archived posts. On the “Saad Abdullah…” post I’m only able to view half of the published comments,

Salaams, thanks iMuslim. Some widgets can’t be used twice presumably because it is assumed you’d only need to use them once. It’s probably an option built into WordPress. Others (like the user-defined text widget) you can use as many times as you like (my RMW advert is one).

On MT, you can choose which combination of sidebar “widgets” to use on each type of page, so my front page had no ads but my archive pages did, and my archive pages didn’t have a blogroll; that was only on the front page. You can’t do that on this version of WP, although you can suppress the sidebars altogether.

I am not a WordPress guru, but have been tinkering a lot lately on my own blog, and on the SignLabs.org website. You can create a custom page template, and then add a new widgetized sidebar to it.

However, some widgets can’t be used twice for some reason. Like the recent comments one, I think. I have no idea why. I am sure you can get round that either manually, or by installing an additional plugin.
