 * I love the suffusion theme and I’m using it on a site that is under construction
   at [http://www.ontargetpro.info](http://www.ontargetpro.info). I have the site’s
   blog posts displayed on a page called “News” because I wanted to be able to add
   sidebars to the page. On the [“News” page](http://ontargetpro.info/?page_id=128),
   I selected the Template “Single Left and Single Right Sidebar”, which pulls 1l1r-
   sidebar.php. It worked fine at first, but for some reason, now it doesn’t. If
   I apply that template, it shows no sidebars. All the other template options still
   work. Right now it uses “Single Left Sidebar”
 * I thought that maybe if I went back and got the original 1l1r-sidebar.php file
   and saved 1l1r-sidebar.php with a new name and gave it a new name inside the 
   template file, that might do it. Nope. I can select it, but no sidebars show 
   at all.
 * The only thing I can think of that I did between the time that template worked
   and then stopped is that I installed and used Exec-PHP and used it on the “News”
   page to insert post text into the page.
 * I’ve tried applying the template on other pages and get the same result. Here’s
   the template code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * Template Name: Single Left and Single Right Sidebar
        *
        * @package Suffusion
        * @subpackage Templates
        */
   
       get_header();
       ?>
   
           <div id="main-col">
       <?php
       suffusion_page_navigation();
       suffusion_before_begin_content();
       ?>
         <div id="content">
   
         <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
           <div class="post fix" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
       <?php suffusion_after_begin_post(); ?>
   
               <div class="entry fix">
       			<?php suffusion_content(); ?>
       		</div><!--/entry -->
       		<?php suffusion_before_end_post(); ?>
       	<?php comments_template(); ?>
   
       	</div><!--/post -->
   
       	<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
       </div></div>
       	<?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```

 * This will not work. Your “News” page is simply an alias for the page that lists
   out your posts and any template that you apply, like “Single Left and Single 
   Right Sidebar” will not impact it – it will be ignored. That template is applied
   to static pages, not dynamic lists of posts.
 * That being said I am unable to fathom your intent. Firstly, on your site I see
   that your news page actually has one sidebar to the left and not 0 sidebars as
   you state. Secondly you could always set up your site to have one left and one
   right sidebar (Visual Effects → Sidebars and Widget Areas), then use the “No 
   Sidebars” template for your static pages. Your news page will automatically show
   up with the layout you desire.

 * It should work because I am using a php include on the News page that shows the
   list of posts. The “News” page is a page. At the moment, yes, the News page has
   a sidebar. I can get one left sidebar, two left, one right or two right, but 
   not the one left and one right option that is available.
 * Your secondly option? Yeah, that might work. I’ll try that, thanks.
