    I need to add a third column to About Us page to display icons...if I click on the 3 column layout on the page (about us), it puts the menu on the left on the right and the new column on the left, where I now have the menu...

    So looks like I need to add a 3rd column manually? And if so, how to do that?

    You could use content column shortcodes or a plugin like Genesis Layout Extra's or Simple sidebars plugin for a custom sidebar on that page.

    Another option is the Widget Logic plugin.

    Ok, so I give up...I have tried to do this with simple sidebars and just do not have the expertise to get it done...I have the JJNextGen Image list ready to go, but just need a sidebar on the right to do it...why is it that I cannot change the order of the primary and secondary sidebars?

    Thanks

    You could add the widgets to the custom sidebar and use it on that page then add the widgets with your image list on the other sidebar.

    Did you create a custom sidebar and then add the widgets?

    I tried to add a custom sidebar through Simple Sidebars, but could not figure out how to add that sidebar to the page.

    on that page I already have a custom nav sidebar on the left...so i need the image sidebar on the right...maybe I am just tired and it will be clearer in the morning...I thought using simple sidebars eliminated the need to create a custom sidebar 🙁

     

    Thanks

    You still need to create your custom sidebar after installing the plugin, populate it with widgets and select to display it on specific page/posts.

    Yes, I did that...I think the issue now is the secondary sidebar no longer shows up since I installed and deleted simple sidebars...no matter what widget I put in the secondary sidebar, it no longer displays 🙁
