Custom Sidebars on Cloud Template vs Default Post

Posted in: Newspaper

I created sidebars using TagDiv Composer for my homepage and category pages. I want a similar look for the default post setup. How do I do that? The default for a post seems to go back to the old way of using a custom sidebar and widgets. If this is the case, I can not see to get the same look for something such as s recent post or a popular post widget. Just trying to get the same look everywhere.

Hello @mcneillmedia!

If you create a sidebar with the TagDiv Composer, then you can save it and add it to a cloud template, not a default one. So, you need to have a single cloud template (imported or built from scratch).
We recommend to use cloud/PRO templates in order to have the possibility to edit them with the TagDiv Composer which contains a lot of functions and features, please check our tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
More documentation about the cloud templates is here:

Thank you!

OK. So I I think I have done this already. I have a page set up for posts with a sidebar on it created in Composer. That is what I would have to use instead of a default post template going forward. The default template will only allow sidebars built under: appearance/widgets. Correct?

Hi mcneillmedia,
You understood correctly, only cloud templates and pages can be edited with the composer on the frontend, the default template for posts is editable from appearance >widgets.
Thank you!
