    I have been attempting to use a child theme to modify Spun.

    I am trying to create a Page Template that will show the sidebar on the right side (about 70% primary content, 30% sidebar content). I would like this sidebar to only show up when this specific Page Template is being used.

    I have created a Page Template that looks like this:

    <?php
    /**
     * Template Name: Store
     *
     *A modified file for a Store from Spun's Page Template
     *
     * @package Spun
     * @since Spun 1.0
     */
    
    get_header(); ?>
    		<div id="primary" class="content-area">
    			<div id="content" class="site-content" role="main">
    
    				<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    
    					<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
    
    					<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
    
    				<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
    
    			</div><!-- #content .site-content -->
    		</div><!-- #primary .content-area -->
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    And used CSS (found here) to try to accomplish this goal:

    .page #primary {
    	float: left;
    	width: 70%;
    }
    #secondary {
    	clear: right;
    	display: block;
    	padding: 50px 0;
    	float: right;
    	width: 30%;
    }
    .sidebar-link {
    	display: none;
    }
    .page .hentry {
    	padding: 0px;
    	width: 100%;
    }
    .widget-column {
    	width: 100%;
    }
    .one.widget-column {
    	float: none;
    	margin: 0 0 0 40px;
    }

    So far, I have succeeded in turning all Pages into 70% width, with no visible sidebar and no other successes.

    The page is here: http://nekothreesixty.com/wolf-bee-alchemy/

    I would also settle for making a new sidebar and widgetizing it, as suggested here but I have not had good luck getting that to work either. Anyone figured this one out?

    If it is helpful to note: I have also modified the content-home to display Pages instead of posts, created a custom Page Template that calls all posts in the category Blog, changed fonts & colors.

    I have succeeded in making the code found here (and pasted above) function. I believe my issue was improperly using a child theme.

    However, that code changed all Pages to 70% width, so to avoid this I changed the CSS to:

    .page #store-primary {
    	float: left;
    	width: 70%;
    }

    and changed the code in store.php (My Page Template) from:
    <div id="primary" class="content-area">
    to
    <div id="store-primary" class="content-area">

    Because I am not using the sidebar anywhere else I didn’t need to change anything else.

    In order to make it show on just my Template Page I added the code:

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    to the Template; and removed it from the page.php file.

    I hope this helps anyone else with this issue!
