We’ve got a sidebar-left template and a sidebar-right template.  Seemed only fair to have a page template with both.  That’s what you’re seeing here.

bootplate-both-sidebars-templateTo use this page template, like any other page template, simply head over to the page editor in WordPress and select the Page: Both Sidebars template under the “Page Attributes” portlet.

In order to keep the main content the same width (8 columns), both sidebars get significantly skinnier (just 2 Bootstrap columns).  That may make your widgets look a little squished.  Fair warning.

As with other sidebar having pages, both sidebars are hidden on medium and smaller devices.  It’s just too weird to scroll though a sidebar, then the content, then another sidebar before seeing the footer.

We’re following a mobile-first approach and that would just be weird.

Hate that?  We understand.  You could always change it using a Child Theme.
