That was a long time ago. Without being too cliche' or oxymoronic, my personal observation of Thematic is that it's biggest weakness is it's strength - so many options, so little time. Please don't get me wrong. It's a really, really good problem. Again, the question wasn't really germane to the thread. Just a Thematician wanna-be trying to see a forest through the trees. Had to throw in one more cliche`!! ;) </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/different-sidebars-on-different-pages#post-25801 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 16:13:40 +0000 helgatheviking 25801@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>@fwunder, didn't understand your rhetorical q. :{ </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/different-sidebars-on-different-pages#post-25779 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 03:41:20 +0000 fwunder 25779@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Just got back from downtown Philly.

When you add a page (not a post) that will get added to the navigation menu. If you wanted to add another page in the "About Us" section as a sub-page then you would create another page and select the original About Us page as the parent page in the Page Attributes box to the right (It's set to No parent by default).
