Hello @compleat,
The Front page widget area is not defined for other pages . However the primary widget area and footer widget area are displayed in other pages as well. So as much as we would love to help you this lies beyond the support offer for our product .
Our suggestion to you is to hire a professional developer for your customization, so that your theme will no be effected in any way.
To hire a developer please follow the link below

Also you have written that you are using eMag theme and you have posted your issue in Edumag Pro which makes us confuse . Please post your query in the forum of respective theme so that it would be easy for us to answer your queries.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards!!
