Sidebar not showing up on refresh

Following the video very closely, I'm noticing on the step where Zac adds the primary & secondary column HTML, on refresh the sidebar is not rendering for me.

Things I've confirmed: 1) CSS is being queued correctly via the functions.php file. Literally went line by line to confirm all was in order. 2) I did catch the closing div tag that Zac left out below the secondary column comment.

Any thoughts on why this could be occurring? I'll place my code below. Cheers.

*page-sidebar-left.php

<?php /* * Template Name: Left Sidebar */ ?> <?php get_header(); ?> <section class="two-column row no-max pad"> <div class="small-12 columns"> <div class="row">

        <!-- Primary Column -->
        <div class="small-12 medium-7 medium-offset-1 medium-push-4 columns">
            <div class="primary">

                <!-- The Loop -->
                <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

                <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
                <p><?php the_content(); ?></p>

                <?php endwhile; else : ?>
                    <p><?php _e('Sorry, no pages found.'); ?></p>
                <?php endif; ?>

            </div>
        </div>

        <!-- Secondary Column -->
        <div class="small-12 medium-4 medium-pull-8 columns">
            <div class="secondary">
                <h2 class="module-heading">Sidebar</h2>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

</section> <?php get_footer(); ?>

Hi Tony,

Did you make sure that the page template being used was left-sidebar? Also is the footer showing up with just the sidebar missing?

Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, left-sidebar was selected and no the footer appeared to be missing also. Hm..
