PD, pinocchio was right, just not very helpful.
In any of your theme files where you wish to display a sidebar, simply place the following template tag where you would like it
to appear: <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
That function will go get the file “sidebar.php” and place its content where this function was called. Working with multiple sidebars and want one on the left? <?php get_sidebar('left'); ?>
That function will retrieve the file called “sidebarleft.php” and load that.
Have a nice weekend.
