Of course, my apologies. Thank you for taking a look. Will the home-page.php template be sufficient? I have made a childtheme for twenty-twelve. I am now wondering if I made a CSS change that is causing the problem. I may reinstall the plugin and start over if nothing else.

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: Front Page Template
 *
 * Description: A page template that provides a key component of WordPress as a CMS
 * by meeting the need for a carefully crafted introductory page. The front page template
 * in Twenty Twelve consists of a page content area for adding text, images, video --
 * anything you'd like -- followed by front-page-only widgets in one or two columns.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty_Twelve
 * @since Twenty Twelve 1.0

get_header(); ?>
  <div id="slider"><?php echo do_shortcode('[promoslider height="300px"]') ?></div>
	<div id="primary" class="site-content">
		<div id="content" role="main">

			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
				<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
					<div class="entry-page-image">
						<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
					</div><!-- .entry-page-image -->
				<?php endif; ?>

				<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>

			<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

		</div><!-- #content -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->
<div id="slider"><?php echo do_shortcode('[promoslider height="300px"]') ?></div>

<?php get_sidebar( 'front' ); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Oops. View code in Pastebin.

The primary sidebar is showing up on all pages and the “<?php else : ?>” portion with a link back to the home page is showing up as well. But the first two conditional statements show no results.

The answer is to clear the FireFox cache. Go to FireFox > Preferences > Advanced > Network and click “Clear Now.”

Wow. TY for that. While you may be correct about being “beyond the scope of these forums,” in my own defense, the title of this section of forums is called:

Themes and Templates
– XHTML and CSS
Topics 80,004 Posts 314,650

It says “CSS” so I just made the assumption that someone is probably capable of helping in this forum.

TY for the advice, but I am using FireBug. You can see it in the screenshot.

Same problem. I’d like to display this widget two times for two different categories in one sidebar. Am I missing something obvious or is there a workaround here??

Works perfectly jennifermontes! You are a superhero.

Has anyone pin-pointed the code which will fix this problem on the category page?? Thank you for your help!!
