    Hi Guys,

    I'm beating my head against a brick wall here. I'm trying to add a secondary sidebar in the executive pro theme for the purpose of displaying addtional widgitised information for particular pages. I've googled everywhere but I'm not a coder and am very new to all this. Is there a simple way you can explain to me on how to acheive this? Your help would be really appreciated. Cheers.

    Regards,

    Stephen McDonell

    Thanks for that Mayur. I checked out the link and that's exactly what I'm after. The only question I have though is where do I put this code into. Is it the function.php file? and if so when in the file do I place it? sorry for my lack of intelligence here but I'm on new ground here. Cheers.

    Hey Mayur,

    Just to explain myself a bit better, I know I can get plugins to vreate multiple sidebars, but what I want to do in the Executive Pro Theme is create a page, have the Primary Sidebar on the right hand side and create an addtional sidebar to show up on the left hand side. Can I have two sidebars both left and right on the same page at the same time?
