Copied classic theme I was using to new name/dir, now all the side boxes are gone.

I am running ZenCart 1.5.1 on a linux server.

It was suggested by another user (and it made sense) that since I was using the classic theme that I should copy it to a different name and folder. I have done that, and now all the side boxes are gone and, I have to admit my total ignorance, I have no idea what to do to get them back. (link: http://shopping.wytchiethyme.com)

Oh, come on... Am I really that blind and/or stupid? Don't answer that, the answer is already all too obvious...

And to think I read hundreds of posts thinking "oh, what a newb..."

What's that I smell? Hmmm... Smells like NEWB! (oh, crap... it's me...)

Thanks for the kindly, succinct, and oh-so-accurate response. I really do appreciate it and feel liks an ###### for not finding it myself... What a douche... And a blind douche at that...

FWIW, I've always thought that the "instructions" around that RESET button should contain some guidance to let people know that clicking that button is part of the standard process in changing your template.

For that matter, I'm not sure why the template-change action (from Tools->Template Selection) doesn't automatically take you to Tools->Layout Boxes Controller with a message indicating that they'll need to click the RESET button as their next step in the template-change process.

Agreed. If that Reset button is really necessary (can't the sidebox reset be done automatically?), it should be on the Template Selection page.
