I don't get any content using Sidebox Anywhere

[breauxlg]

I don't get any output when I use Sidebox Anywhere.

I am on Zen Cart 1.3.8 and Sidebox Anywhere 1.3.8
My php info is at http://www.lynnsfood.com/phpinfolynn.php


both single_sidebox.php and categories_single_sidebox.php are in the root directory of my zen cart store along with index.php,etc. I've posted both of them below. I was using echo to try to see where I was getting in the code.



Here is the single_sidebox.php code:

<?php
echo "Beginning of Single in LynnsFood"
