Category Page Sidebar Customization

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi,

I can’t find any options to customize the content on the sidebar of category pages. For example, I want to change the color of the background the title “Must Read” on the category page (Eg: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/category/tagdiv-technology/tagdiv-gadgets/) or add new widgets to the category page.

I tired the theme panel, page editor, category editor but can’t find any place to make these changes.

I checked the instructions on http://import.tagdiv.com/newspaper/doc/#categ but I don’t see any of those options mentioned in that article, beyond “Description” part.

Really appreciate your help in this.

Hello amsam1979,

If you want to manage the sidebar for your category page you can do it from Theme panel->Categories like this -> http://screencast.com/t/eVkbmtJdyJ1q for global category of per certain category -> http://screencast.com/t/Yq7QEe2aN -> http://screencast.com/t/sipAUOI7d
For more information about sidebar, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the message!

Hi Catalin,

Yes, this helps to understand where the sidebar is set for the category. But it still doesn’t address my problem, how to customize/edit the sidebar. For example, I have something called “Default sidebar” selected for my category. My question is, how can I add or remove widgets to this Default Sidebar.

Hi … if you go to Appearance > Widgets, you’ll see all of your widgets, and all of your sidebars. If you click on a sidebar, you can add/remove/rearrange the widgets in it.

Hope that helps!

Thanks laraklopp / Catalin,

Problem resolved. I’m actually learning WP along the way customizing this template, so sometimes I get confused whether to go on generic WP dashboard or on Theme Panel to make certain customization.

You’re welcome … I think most of us are learning as we go! 🙂
