    Usually the Balance theme has 3 layout options with one sidebar. But when I go over to my widget area, I can see a blank area for a Secondary Sidebar, although if I add any widget to this area its not visible. How to enable this second sidebar and get a sidebar-content-sidebar look for my blog?

    You could remove the unregister function from your child themes functions.php file.

    /** Unregister layout settings */
    genesis_unregister_layout( 'content-sidebar-sidebar' );
    genesis_unregister_layout( 'sidebar-content-sidebar' );  // Remove this line
    genesis_unregister_layout( 'sidebar-sidebar-content' );

    It worked for me. Thanks Brad!


    @jengnoeloe
    : I think you have not selected the theme layout with 2 sidebars after you registered the layouts in the function.php. You can do that from the Genesis theme settings page.
