How to apply left hand side of parent in indesign to individual page after turning off facing pages?

[TomTom1836]

I turned off the facing pages setting in my file, and now it only applies to the right-hand side of my parent pages on every page. Does anyone know what's going on? Thank you so much in advance!!!!

Can you post a screenshot of your Pages panel? 

[TomTom1836]

Sure. Is this what you meant?

Why did you turn off facing pages, if your document has facing pages. That  is the error you have done. 

[TomTom1836]

No, for the publishing my boss asked it to be not facing pages.

[Robert at ID-Tasker]

Yes, so in your original post you meant that only the right page of the Master Spread is applied to your "regular" pages, right?

That's normal. As you can see at the top of your screenshot, when Master Is a single page - it's located on the right side of the spread / represents right page - not left. 

So, when you are applying Master to a spread - in your case, single page spread - right page of the Master is applied. 

You just need to create a single page Master. 

Or are you looking for a solution to apply your Masters to every 2nd page? Left to 2,4,6,... and right to 1,3,5,...?

Yes, I am trying to apply to every other page.

If you are not very familiar with scripts in the InDesign - you should use the example from the 2nd link.
