    Hello,
    I am decided to use Genesis Sample so that I could customize the homepage w/o widgets. I selected full width site layout, as the homepage needed to be one column.

    However, the inner pages need to have a sidebar. I created a sidebar with simple sidebars, but nothing showing up. I cannot select another template other than landing page.

    here's how the old site looks: https://aacmfs.org/members/membership/ which I want to replicate here: http://75.103.67.88/wordpress2/membership/

    I will also want to use simple menus. But I need a sidebar.
    Is it doable with this theme?

    In the meantime, I did a workaround using Atomic Blocks utilizing a 2 column. I would still like to know the answer(s) to the above questions as I decide how to proceed. Here's the workaround page: http://75.103.67.88/wordpress2/pay-dues/

    Thanks much.

    For the home page you use the full width layout. For the inner pages you would use the Content-Sidebar layout. There is not need to use Genesis Simple Sidebars.

    I only see it available as an option for site layout. When editing the page only landing page and default (full width) are available. I am not seeing content sidebar in this theme. Am I looking in the wrong place to switch the template?

    If you go to add a New Page, then click the "G" top right corner, in the page layouts, you do not see the content-sidebar layout. It's a layout not a template.
