Category cloud template that pulls in different sidebars per category?

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi there. Before cloud templates, I could set a specific sidebar in the theme panel for each category. Is there a way to do that now with cloud templates? I want the same template for each category, but want the ability to set a different sidebar for each category as before.

Or am I now required to create a completely different cloud template for every category that needs a different widget sidebar?

And a follow up … how do I now add additional sidebars for each category? Prior to cloud templates, I could create new sidebar for specific categories using the “Category” settings in the theme panel. But now that option to set / create a specific sidebar per category is gone. And I can’t create a new sidebar in the Appearance > Widgets area either.

Hello!

If you want the same style/template of your categories, then you can duplicate a template/layout for every category to have different template, make the specific changes and assign it to that category.
Check this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/different-logo-in-categorypage/ ; Here I explained step by step how you can duplicate a template.

For cloud/PRO templates: you should add the sidebar from tagdiv Composer. Steps:
1. Add 1 row
2. Split into 2 columns( 2/3 + 1/3 )
3. You can add whatever you want into the second column and consider it a sidebar.
Take a look here in this video for example where I build 6 columns: https://www.screencast.com/t/mZ2c5XamTFN

Hope that helps you!

Thank you!
