Modifying Smart Sidebar

Posted in: Newspaper

So I am having a really hard time modifying the smart sidebar to behave like I want it to. What I want is for the sidebar to stick the last element at the top, not cut off the 2nd to last element like it does on all the demos. It’s best to explain what I mean, here is a test page: http://165.227.104.80/5-exciting-monero-developments-to-look-forward-to-in-2018/

If you scroll down, you will notice there are 2 300×600 ads on the sidebar. Once you start scrolling down, it will anchor the bottom ad to the bottom of the sidebar instead of to the top. What I want it to look like is this: https://www.coindesk.com/ripple-eyes-retreat-after-record-price-highs/ As you can see when you scroll down the ad in the sidebar sticks to the very top and there isn’t an element being cut off.

I tried implementing Q2W3 Fixed Widget, Sticky Menu, Theia Sticky Sidebar, and many more methods to no avail. What annoys me is when I turn off the smart sidebar feature in the menu, none of these plug ins work.

I don’t understand why the theme was built in such a way that I am only able to use 1 type of smart sidebar implementation without having an easy way to modify it. Can anybody help me?

Just bumping this up, maybe a developer can see this and at least provide me the file which I should try editing to modify the smart sidebar. I am assuming the file is: tagdiv_theme.js can someone confirm or correct me?

Hello margin707,

Yes, the smart sidebar functionality has been created in tagdiv_theme.js and minified js of the theme. You should edit that folder but please notice that it’s not a simple task and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this case, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!

Thanks for the message!
