You seem to have posted in another thread as well. I have replied you there too.

when I load widgets in the left and right side bars they all show up in the footer.

Are you using it on your mobile phone/ipad or on screen under 1060px?

Willingness theme is responsive. Which means that it adapts the screen condition. The sidebars were designed to show up at the bottom of the page if the screen is under 1060px.

Any chance you could send me your website URL?

I would also like to only have the most recent article show instead of all of the published articles.

Go to your Dashboard:
and then, Settings -> Reading
Change blog pages show at most to number of recent articles you want to show on your blog.

The functions.php in the child theme had a blank line in the beginning. What a blunder mistake.

Thank you esmi. ??

Hi esmi,

First I deactivated all Plugins. It still showed the problem.

After that, I Activated the Twenty Thirteen theme and the problem was solved.

Again after that, I Activated the Parent theme of my theme and still it worked, and there was no error.

When I Activated the child theme, the problem showed up.

So, I guess I have problem in the child theme. What could be the problem in Child theme?

I have been experimenting with lots of action hooks and functions lately, in the child theme.

I was thinking one solution might be to write a php if statement into the sidebar.php file to detect different page templates?

Yes, that would be perfect. You’ll get exactly what you want through that.

Regarding the sites home page I just want to have a right sidebar and have the the remainder of the content fill what is left of the page horizontally, on the rest of the page I would like to have both left and right side bars.

I understand your problem. It can be easily solved by using a different page template(right sidebar template) for the home page. But the problem is that ‘willingness’ doesn’t have other page templates by default. You’ll have to create a new page template.

So, keeping this thing in mind, I’m releasing this feature in the next version upgrade of ‘willingness’.

Hope it helps,
Thank you Robert!

Hi Robert, Thank you for using the willingness theme.

willingness supports both, right and left sidebar options. However, it doesn’t support any page template at the moment. It only shows the default layout you use through Appearance -> Widgets.

You can go to Appearance -> Widgets and keep widgets on sidebar you would like to use. More details here -> https://enwil.com/willingness

If you use both sidebar then every page shows both sidebar. If you use right sidebar, then every page shows the right sidebar. If left, then left. You can’t change that for only one page.

However, that option(Page Templates) will be available in the next update of willingness, which will be pretty soon.
Till then, hold on.

If it’s urgent and you have some programming knowledge then you can create your own custom page template. Here’s a good tutorial for that: ‘How to create a custom page template‘

Could you consider sending me the link of your website along with page you want to change the layout / template of?

Thank you robert!
