    First of all, I apologize if this has been asked and answered. I can't find a search function for this forum anymore.

    I use Magazine Pro with a sidebar on the left. I've been using a blog-style front page, but wanted to switch to the Home widgets layout in the theme demo. When I activated one of the widgets, however, my sidebar switched to the right. It's only on the home page, but I need it to be on the left. Is there a way to fix this?

    Edit front-page.php and look for this line of code around line 20:

    add_filter( 'genesis_site_layout', '__genesis_return_content_sidebar' );

    Change it to:

    add_filter( 'genesis_site_layout', '__genesis_return_sidebar_content' );

    Thank you, Victor! I'm seeing the same line of code for the before and after, but I think that's just a forum code display issue. I'm guessing you meant to comment that line out with a double slash? In any case, that's what worked for me! Thank you.

    Both of those lines of code are different. Read them carefully.
