This blog page is pulling from a Page Template called full-width-blog.php. The left of the content is where the supposed general posts should appear. On the right is the sidebar.

How could you make the main left area pulling from Recent Articles and not from Testimonials?

  • Is this a simple thing to do? Do I need to add other php files to pastebin? Aug 20, 2012 at 18:21
  • should be simple and your code is fine except you are using query_posts over and over on the same page(sidebar) use either get_posts or wp_query instead and reset the Query after each one using wp_reset_query

This is an attempt to fix your sidebar code :

  <div class="rightcolumn-inner">

        if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar') ) : ?>

             echo $NewsTitle;
            echo '</h3>';
            // Otherwise we'll use a generic message.
            } else { ?>
