 * Hi,
 * I want to add a left sidebar to this theme.
    I’ve followed the tutorials for 
   that and I added this code :
 *     ```
       <section id="sidebar-left" class="secondary clearfix" role="complementary" >		<?php
       			dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-left');
       						 ?>
       	</section>
       ```
   
 * in the file that I’ve created “sidebar-left.php”
    and this code :
 *     ```
       register_sidebar( array(
       		'name' => __( 'sidebar-left', 'smartline-lite' ),
       		'id' => 'sidebar-left',
       		'description' => __( 'Appears on posts and pages except Magazine Homepage and Fullwidth template.', 'smartline-lite' ),
       		'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s clearfix">',
       		'after_widget' => '</aside>',
       		'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle"><span>',
       		'after_title' => '</span></h3>',
       	));
       ```
   
 * in the file : functions.php
 * The sidebar appears in the admin (I can add widgets) but not at the front of 
   the website.
    I’ve no cache plugin. Can you help me ?
 * Many thanks

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for using Smartline.
 * There is no need to edit the theme files because the theme already supports a
   sidebar left layout.
 * You can simply go to Appearance -> Customize -> Theme Options -> General Settings
   to change the default sidebar position.
 * Best,
    Thomas
