Reply To: Sidebars missing

[WEswift]

Rui – Firstly, thanks for fixing the issue. However, this seems like very odd theme prioritization. For testing purposes, I duplicated the News/Events page and made another widget area with sidebar one in it. When there is nothing set in Reading Settings > Posts Page, I get two columns of sidebars – as expected since we now have a right sidebar set in Theme Options > Archive/Category Options.

When I set the test page to be the Reading Settings > Posts Page it REMOVES the Widget Sidebar content area. That doesn’t seem like appropriate behavior. When I think about more local/specific settings (like in css) trumping more global settings, I would expect both sidebars to still appear in this instance. Why then would a theme setting REMOVE a content area? I don’t think a global Theme Options > Archive setting should be able to remove what I’ve specifically set as my page content. I can see now what is happening, but I would really appreciate some clarification on why this happens. My theory is that when a page is assigned to Reading Settings > Posts Page, the page uses a default posts page template. Is that close? Thanks again for the assist.
