 * I only want my sidebars to show on my home page. I am using the template NatureFox
 * I copied the page template and renamed it homepage and then removed <?php get_sidebar();?
   > from the page template and added
 *  <?php
    /* Template Name: Home */ ?> to the top. However, now the sidebar has
   been removed from all pages. How do I make sure the home page is using the homepage.
   php template?
 * Thank you!

 * Uh, how about editing the theme page.php file and single.php file and remove 
   the call to sidebar.php?

 * That works for posts… which is great. However, I would like to change the other
   static pages.

 * Got it.
    There’s a drop down menu under Page Atributes on the right… once you
   create a new page template, you can change the page from “default” to the new
   template.
 * Thank you for your advice.

 * Just comment out all get_sidebar() function calls in the PHP files except for
   index.php like so:
 * `
    <?php /* get_sidebar(); */ ?>
 * You shouldn’t have to create a page template for the home page. Just leave index.
   php alone.

 * Thanks, the other way actually worked perfectly. I don’t see an index.php but
   I’ll keep that in mind next time.
