When a new template is installed you must RESET the layout boxes. They will not appear as you had them so you need to reconfigure their location and sort orders.
Additionally, this template blocks side boxes on the home page - irrespective of the setting you make under the configuration >>> layout settings options.
You need to edit out the blocker in the templates tpl_main_page.php file,
PHP Code:
if ($this_is_home_page) {
$flag_disable_right = true;
$flag_disable_left = true;
PHP Code:
if ($this_is_home_page) {
$flag_disable_right = true;
$flag_disable_left = false;
If you want right side boxes on the page as well, then make the necessary change - but nobody clutters up sites with left AND right columns these days.
