Good Evening,

I know this template very well in Joomla, so my apologies for my several questions but I am new to WordPress.  I have tried to assign various Widgets to other pages.  I am not getting a choice to select a particular pages.  It is only giving me choices to: Show Everywhere, Show Selected (but for All Pages and not individual pages), Hide on Selected, or Hide Everywhere. 

It is defaulting to the Home page.  The site we did a soft launch is www.ppasatl.com  and then we want a Right Widget position on some of the pages but it won't allow me to.  Am I looking in the wrong place or where shall I find this?

Thanks so much!

You will want to select "Show on selected" and enter the page slug/URL for each page you want targeted in the "target by URL" box; each on its own line.  You can also use "Hide on selected" if you want the widget visible on all except for a small number of pages.

The "Target by URL" box allows you to target much more than just individual pages; basically anything that has a unique URL can be targeted, and using wildcards (as the instructions under the box indicate), you can include all sub-pages of a specific URL, or whatever you want.
