Hi crobbs- Hmm I don’t completey understand what you mean.
I was thinking I would just link the “blog” menu item to the “news” category. I’m sure php is a more correct way to do this, but I’m not that familiar with php

@Chip- Yes- the home.php was the solution to the widgets being correct THANK YOU! Still wondering why posts are not going to page that i designated they should go to

GRR- the “news’ page had comments enabled, and when I disabled it, the sidebar flew out of the content area between it and the footer

well, if you need to see it, here it is
<?php
/**
* Template Name: home
*
* A custom page template with a right sidebar and alternate widget area.
*
* The “Template Name:” bit above allows this to be selectable
* from a dropdown menu on the edit page screen.
*
*/
get_header(); ?>
<div class=”right-alt”>
<div id=”container” class=”wvr-altright”>
<div id=”content”>
<?php the_post(); ?>
<div id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>>
<?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?>
<h2 class=”entry-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php } else { ?>
<h1 class=”entry-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php } ?>

<div class=”entry-content”>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( ‘before’ => ‘<div class=”page-link”>’ . __( ‘Pages:’, TTW_TRANS ), ‘after’ => ‘</div>’ ) ); ?>
<?php edit_post_link( __( ‘Edit’, TTW_TRANS ), ‘<span class=”edit-link”>’, ‘</span>’ ); ?>
</div><!– .entry-content –>
</div><!– #post-<?php the_ID(); ?> –>
<?php comments_template( ”, true ); ?>
</div><!– #content –>
</div><!– #container altright –>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(‘altright’); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Yup- that’s where i put it. i also just recehecked it.. and that is where it is- well, that is where I see it when I look at the files through ftp

I want all of the pages other than the “news” page to be static pages. I want the ‘news’ page to show latest posts.
I do not have a home.php file.

Since the post page pulls from the home.php, then if I create a home.php copying the altrightsidebar.php, that should work, right? The “news” page is the only page that will us the sidebar
