Thanks Riccardo,
I read through the post and I’m not sure making a custom page template would work. All my other pages (about, services, etc) include a side bar. But when I go to customize and select ‘Home’ to be my static page, then the sidebar disappears, but only for this page. All my pages have the same template selected (Default). I did go to the editor and I can see that I have a content-page.php and a front-page.php. I’m assuming that when I select to have a static home page and I select home, it overrides the selected template and makes it fullwidth. I’ve tried to make changes to the front-page.php file but can only manage to get the sidebar at the bottom, not on the side.
Any ideas?
