    I'm using Genesis Simple Sidebars.

    Homepage (2 sidebars) - Content -- Sidebar (primary) (290px) -- Sidebar (secondary) (300px)
    Content Page (I just want the secondary sidebar to display and keep it's 300px width, but what I get is) - Content - Sidebar (290px)

    Am I just assigning them wrong? How can I get my CSS from the secondary sidebar onto the content page and bypass the primary CSS?

    Thanks!
    - Mike

    It's always going to take the primary sidebar if you are using content-sidebar or sidebar-content.

    If I were you, honestly, the simplest solution would be to turn the secondary sidebar into the 290 px wide one and the primary sidebar into the 300 px one.

    Then when you use Genesis Simple Sidebars on an inside page, you will get the primary sidebar to be 290, which it will use automatically.

    Otherwise you have to change a lot of other stuff....

    You could probably deal with this with CSS only, making your home page sidebars different widths than on inside pages.

    For example, if the home class is .home then you would do something like

    .home .content-sidebar-sidebar (or whatever the layout or classes and IDs are called)

    That will control the sizing on the home page only.

    Then let the rest of the site use the 290 / 300 px sizes.
