Homepage with sidebar

I’ve sorted the root domain problem.

How do I make the homepage the default template (sidebar) instead of full width? I’ve selected “Default Template” in the page editor but still no change?

Thanks ??

Battlarts,

In fruitful theme default home page template it’s front-page.php you can remove it.

Hi Fruitful Code,

Thank you very much for your reply. Do I simply delete the front-page.php?

Yes, just remove or rename front-page.php
Add widgets to Main sidebar

I am having a similar problem but a little different.

I have set my homepage to be a static page and it is my welcome page for my site. However I would also like the recent posts to show up on the right side of my homepage like it does for all of my other pages but I cannot figure out how to do this.

I do not want my homepage do just be my recent posts but for my homepage to have the right sidebar for recent posts. Is this possible?

Fruitful Code – Thank you very much! Worked great!

loveyourbirth – I renamed front-page.php to front-page_.php and the homepage now inherits the default template with sidebar.

I created two separate pages. One for my latest posts (‘Blog’) and another for my homepage (‘Home’). In Settings >> Reading… “Front page:” must be set to your static homepage (‘Home’) and “Posts page:” must be set to the page you want your latest posts to appear (‘Blog’).

You can now drag widgets into the sidebar for each page in the Appearance >> Widgets section.

Thank you Batlarts for your advice.
I am so new to this website thing, I do not know how to rename the front-page.php

Same question: How do you rename the front-page.php?

Thanks!

Is there a way to have custom sidebars per page? This is great stuff!
