Problems With Pages

How do I make the sidebars on my individual pages the same as the sidebars on my main index/homepage?

  • What template set are you using?

  • You have to compare the coding from your "main index" and "page" templates, especially in regards to the sidebar.

    Inside your sidebar, you may have conditional tags like mt:if name="main_index" which are limiting the display of some stuff to only the home page.

    What you'll have to do is to replicate that, but use mt:if name="page_archive".

    Kind Regards,

  • As it turns out I needed to name it "page_layout" but after a few tries I figured it out, thanks!!

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
