Multiple Channel Entries on Template - Works for Home Page - Not for Other Pages

Question

I rarely do any crazy cross/channel templates. Most EE sites I've developed are based on individual channels. I did something that seems to be working for the home page, but not for the interior pages; e.g., anything past index.php/template-name/page-name

Here's my main template code:

{embed="inc/.header.doc-open"}      

    {embed="inc/.left-sidebar"} 

    <div class="ctnr cf two-four grid">
        {exp:channel:entries channel="content" limit="1"}
        <div class="ctnr cf one-one content" id="hero">

            {content_body}

        </div><!-- end #hero -->
    {/exp:channel:entries}
    </div><!-- end .ctnr -->

    {embed="inc/.right-sidebar"}    

    {embed="inc/.footer.doc-close"}

I'm opening/closing channels within each include group; e.g.:

        <div class="left-sidebar ctnr cf one-four grid">
    {exp:channel:entries channel="left"}
        {left_content}
    {/exp:channel:entries}  
    </div><!-- end .ctnr -->

This seems to be working perfectly on the home page... It sorta works if I just do the following url structure index.php/template-name - This pulls in the most recent entry. Once I put in the actual url title; e.g., index.php/template-name/page-title it pulls the content, but all the includes are messed up. They're getting pulled in, but the content and images aren't.

Any pointers on this?

Thanks!

Have you tried adding dynamic="no" as a parameter for your channel entries? Since there is no url title on the homepage the entries loops assume it will be a listing, but as soon as you add more segments to your url. The entries try and pull that title. By adding dynamic="no", you are saying that you do not care what the url title is, you just want the listing. Check out the documentation
