 * I am using Alkivia Chameleon 2.2.2 and want to create a custom sidebar. I created
   a sidebar-custom.php and custom.php template, but the additional sidebar does
   not show up. What am I doing wrong?!?!

 * do you have the call `get_sidebar('custom');` in your custom.php?
 * and is the custom.php template associated with a page?
 * is the sidebar registered?

 * for an **additional **sidebar to show, you also might need to edit the style.
