I’m working on a movie library on my blog but I have a small problem that I hope to get some help with.
Here is what I have done.
Created the movie page http://queertownabbey.com/movies/
Created the movies sidebar
Selected the movies sidebar on the movies pageAnything I’m missing here?
Anders
Go into the movies page and select “right sidebar” or “left sidebar” for template

Strange. I just set up a test on my site and works great. What’s unique about the movies page? Is it plugin driven?

This is really strange. We’re using this plugin for the movie library http://wpmovielibrary.com
As you can see in this demo http://demo.wpmovielibrary.com/movies/ the widgets are showing up
I’ll take a look at it. I would normally suggest disabling the plugin to see if the sidebar shows up, but since it on your live site, try creating a new page and adding the sidebar to it but not the movie shortcode (if that’s what it uses). Then we can hopefully isolate the issue.
The other thought I had was maybe you have a child copy of the template and you’ve taken out the kleo_swith_layout call? Just guessing really 🙂
Love your site by the way.

Thank you so much for your kind comments about the site.
I created a new page without the movie shortcode and the widgets showed up.
I’m not using a child copy of the template.
Its definitively the plugin. I installed it. Created a new sidebar called ‘movies’ and added the movies widget to it. Created a page called movies and put the movies shortcode in it and specified left sidebar for the layout and my new movies sidebar. The page loads with a right side bar since that’s my default in wp-admin->theme options.

No problem. I’m digging through their code now. I’ll see if I can spot the issue.

@abe Quick question. When a page uses the archive.php template does kleo check for an override of the default layout? It doesn’t appear that way. It also doesnt appear to use the defined custom sidebar.
Here’s what’s going on (I think). This movie plugin uses archive.php to render a list of movies using the rewrite of ‘movies’. @anders probably has his archive/category pages set to full width in the theme options. Thinking he could override that, he created a page called Movies and selected a sidebar layout and a custom side bar. Those settings are ignored and the default full width template is rendered as specified in theme options. Even if he were to change the default layout to right sidebar, his custom sidebar is ignored and the ‘Main Sidebar’ is used instead.
Unfortunately it doesnt appear that the movie plugin has a shortcode to display all movies so creating a page called something other than movies, thereby using page.php instead of archive.php, isn’t going to work. :/

We had to switch to a new theme yesterday after feedback from our host about site speed.
Thanks for all your help @sharmstr
