The instructions for the Custom Sidebars plug-in state the following steps for assigning a custom sidebar to a static front page:
To change the sidebar for static Front-Page or Posts-Page:
Go to the Widgets page
Click on “Sidebar Location”
Open the “Archive-Types” tab
Choose “Front-Page” or “Post-Index”
The items “Front-Page” and “Post-Index” do not appear under the Archive Types tab on the editing page for the static front page of my site.
How do I assign the custom sidebar if I cannot follow this procedure?
