OK, I seem to have finally figured out how to create a Members menu in the left hand side of some of my pages. I discovered that the presence of the left-hand menu depends not on any menu ordering, but on the page ordering specified at the right of the Edit Page admin page. However, I don't understand why I see no trace of the Left Hand sidebar/widget area. Moreover, if I create a page with the default page template, and set it up to reside in a page hierarchy on the Edit Page page (for example, http://www.logos.uucm.org/members_section/church-directory-committee-li…), I see a page menu to the left of my page. And, if I do a Customize on that page, and then look at the Widgets (Sidebars) available, I see: Primary
Secondary
Footer 1
Footer 2
Footer 3 (note, no Left Hand sidebar) However, when I have a page that I have not set into a page hierarchy in the Edit Page, and try Customizing it, I discover that it tells me there are no Widgets (aka sidebars) available. I do not understand how adding the page to a page hierarchy affects the sidebars available on that page. So, I believe I now know why my attempts using Custom Sidebar have failed to create a Members menu visible in the left hand sidebar. I believe that there is no left hand sidebar available on that page (any page?). I fail to understand how you can register a left hand sidebar, but not have it show up anywhere I have been able to find. I am not convinced that this is not a bug, but the implementation is so complex, it's hard to tell whether this behavior is intentional or not. Please explain. Thanks!
