 * S_Hook, hi. Checkboxes in the Customize > Customize Layout > Home > First Column(
   and Second Column) should be checked.
 * What do you mean by ‘when i create a new page in the model option’?
 * >  i can’t choose blog template
 * What do you mean by ‘blog template’? There is no blog template in a theme, Blog
   Page can be choosen in the Customizer, Static Front Page Section and layout for
   the blog at Customize > Customize Layout > Blog > Blog Layout.

 * S_Hook, you can add sidebars/choose layout for the Front Page at Customize > 
   Customize Layout > Home. ( Check marks for the first and second column and choose
   layout Two Columns). Sidebars at Widgets have prefix ‘Home’ for the starting 
   page.
 * Remove section at ‘Customize Sidebars’ if you have it there.

 * tks a lot only another question…
    when i create a new page i should be able to
   choose between many page layout as: “portfolio, 404, archive, blog in order to
   customize them with section management, this is not possible because the template
   i can choose are “left sidebar or right sidebar no content, no footer no content
   full width” but nothing to do with section name…. what can i do?
 * tks

 * S_Hook, front page, 404 error, archive, blog, portfolio, shop, etc have default
   urls. You can change layout for it but you can’t assign it to a page.
 * For example layout for archives is a layout for all Category, Tags, Author archives,
   you can see it by clicking on category or author link. You can see portfolio 
   at [https://website/portfolio](https://website/portfolio) (with installed Jetpack
   plugin), or you can open 404 error by entering wrong url [https://website/jhdfksafhkj](https://website/jhdfksafhkj).
