    Default Missing sidebar when installing templates

    I'm new to Zen, but not to web design. With all the templates I install, the sidebars are missing. I'm hoping there's something simple that I did incorrectly. Any ideas?

    Try this: http://westcoastshaving.com/index.php

    I'll leave it this way for a moment. The default template works fine.

    When you change templates, you have to go into the admin under tools->layout boxes controller and turn on the sideboxes you want. The settings aren't carried over. I believe there's a mod in the downloads which will retain the settings when you change templates, but I've never used it and can't vouch for it.

    Thanks for the tip, Misty. I may download and install it on a couple of sites I'm working on since it can be such a pain to have to go back and redo the sideboxes.
