Flex Blocks on sidebars?

Is there a way to add a flex block to a sidebar so it goes to all pages/posts?
I followed the tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
Added a Sidebar widget to my page/post templates but how do I add actual flex blocks on it?
I can see there are widgets called [tagDiv] Block 1 through 25 but those don’t have as many options as the flex blocks, for example there is no option to change the image size or add padding.

Hello @central!

Yes, you can add any element in the sidebar in the TagDiv Composer. If you add it to a template and make it global, then it will appear on every page that has assgned that template. You can build a sidebar with the TagDiv Composer. Steps:
1. Insert one new row (or delete an existing one).
2. Divide into two columns (2/3 + 1/3).
3. You can add whatever element you want into the second column and consider it a sidebar.

Thank you!

That’s not really helping. A Sidebar in WordPress stays the same on every page what I want is to change the sidebar in one place and apply the changes to the entire website at once, like how WordPress Sidebars work. I guess I can only copy/paste the blocks on every page manually instead?

Hello @central!

Yes. Or you can save the entire row and add it as an element on every template.

Thank you!

Is there a way to add a Flex Block to a Widgetized Sidebar, so I can manage all Widget Sidebars collectively in the Widget management page?

Currently I’m trying to add a basic listing of newest posts with primary category in meta box, but none of the blocks seem to have (without an image!)…

I’ve created a separate related issue here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/block-9-w-module-8-preview-is-showing-primary-category-in-meta-box-but-missing/

Hi,
I think that you want to create a block and set it in widgets so when you edit it, widgets will change it in all places, right? If so, then you need to create a new page, set the block using tagDiv Composer (a flex block), after that when is done, use the WordPress editor and copy the block’s shortcode https://i.imgur.com/XCbQe2G.png and set it in a widget in a text element.
I hope this will help you!
Thank you!
