Hello ilu777,
Please notice that the Blog and Post Templates will affect all the settings regarding on Sidebar for posts and Blog is your sidebar is set it by default (from the panel) for each category. So, you should change the Sidebar source for category and add there what type of sidebar you want for the posts from this category, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/iowWhpR0WE and then you will have different sidebar for each category and posts.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Just suggest me, if from Blog and post Template’s side bar will effect all the post sidebar … then how can i create new side bar for only home page.. that does not effect my posts side bar… Keep in mind i dont use VC..
Thanks
Hi,
You could create a custom sidebar and set it for each category from Theme Panel > Categories – http://screencast.com/t/hBPSWyjplQe1 The articles from that category inherit the specific custom sidebar.
So you could use the Default Sidebar for your Blog page(I guess you use blog as frontpage) and the category sidebar will appear on your posts.
Thanks!
So there is no single side bar i created, its like for one post one side bar.. and i mean so many side bars are there according to its post for conversion rate.. so for me it would be difficult to created side bare according to Category.. and also, default category fall in lot of posts. for me it would be difficult to go in every post and change them accordingly…
Please Suggest me, as i’m using blog as front page, to create new side bar only for Front page blog..
or any other way..
Hello,
Unfortunately you cannot create a custom sidebar only affecting the blog roll homepage without changing the categories sidebars. Here is how sidebars work .
The post wil have a custom sidebar if you set one to it when you create the post. If you don’t, it will grab the sidebar from the primary category of the post: https://forum.tagdiv.com/primary-category/ if the post primary category has no sidebar set to it, it will fall back to the blog template and grab the sidebar from there. SO, if you do not set any sidebar on posts in particular and you do not set any sidebar on categories in particular, you will not be able to have different sidebars on the homepage and on posts or categories. You will have to go into categories and set sidebars for each category in order to break the fallback system and have posts grabs the sidebars from categories rather than the blog. There is no alternative unfortunately except hiring a freelancer that can code in a custom sidebar only affecting the blog roll.
Thank you!
