Custom Sidebar

CREATE A CUSTOM SIDEBAR

One of the features of our Theme is the possibility to add a new or additional custom sidebar, which you will be able to add on different Pages and Posts according to your preference, with no need for external third-party plugins.

Let us see how you can create a new sidebar, add content, and link it to a page or post:

  • On your WP Dashboard, select “Sidebar”.
  • Give a name to your new Sidebar.
  • Just click on “Add new”.

DISPLAY CONTENT WITHIN THE SIDEBAR

Now that you have created a new sidebar, let’s see how you can add content to it by using Widgets.

  • Go to Appearance > Widgets
  • On the right side of the screen, next to the existing sidebars, you should see the new sidebar you have just created.
  • Now drag & drop all the Widgets you want to add.
  • Click “Save” on each widget to save changes.

ADD THE NEW SIDEBAR TO A PAGE OR POST

Once you have finished writing the content for your new sidebar, you can add it to a page or post of your choice:

  • Open an existing Page or Post, or create a new one.
  • Once you are in the Edit Page/Post area, you should see the “Sidebar Options” option on the right-hand column.
  • Click on the drop-down menu to select the sidebar you previously created.
  • Click on “Update” to save changes.

IMPORTANT: Naturally, to ensure that your sidebar displays correctly on the page, you must use a template layout that lets you add a sidebar.
