Sakin, thanks for your help here. I’m afraid, however, you’ve given me too much credit! LOL. I have not made any changes to the code. Just installed the theme and used Theme Customization options included in WP-Admin. The sidebar was out of place from the time I installed.
I did go to check the code in Theme –> Edit. The code is just as you state it should be with “php get sidebar” directly above “php get footer” at the very bottom of index.php. Something else must be causing this error. Please help!
