Hello,
I’ve tried everything I could but this just doesn’t work on my side.
I’m trying to have different sidebars on the Homepage and the Single Post view but they’re both using ht esame template options in the Theme Panel.
I’ve also tried to change the sidebar option on my Home page (I’m using a custom home with Visual Composer).
Still it always uses the same Default Widget for all the site areas, so I think after 20+ hours of headache It’s time now to ask for help.
P.S: I think I also found a bug with the “News Ticker Title” – was trying to change the font size for the Ticker Title here:
Blocks/Widgets Title
News Ticker
News Ticker title
So eventually I had to Firebug and write my own custom CSS for it.
I’m really dissapointed that things are not going smooth at all with this theme, seems like lots of things are bugged or at least “Not so easy to edit”.
Thanks.
Lots of things easy to edit for many folks; but some things – as with all themes – require custom CSS to over-ride “styles” when changing the defaults.
For the sidebar; typically you would create a NEW sidebar, such as ‘categories’ or ‘homeside’ and then drag widgets to each custom sidebar, then select that custom sidebar and its bank of widgets for the template you want to use.
meaning, you can’t choose widgets per template; you can select a sidebar per template, and each sidebar can have any mix of widgets.
See the docs for how to build a new sidebar from the template edit page; then when you go to the wp admin > appearance > widgets — you would see new sidebar, and be able to customize widgets for THAT new sidebar. Then on home page layout, or categories vs posts, you could choose the new custom sidebar in place of default.
Hope that helped. TagDiv support back Monday, but thought I’d chime in if you were to the hair pulling phase yet 😉
Thanks a lot Chris, just wanted to note that I was talking about sidebars, not widgets 🙁
So excuse me for the mistake, I was trying to stay calm lol
So my problem is still there, I can’t manage to have different sidebars for Home, Pages and Single Post.
Hm. Weird. You should be able to go to your post template and choose a different custom sidebar.
Might be plugin conflict, or … Dunno.
Hi,
@FrozenGod Do you use Wigetised Sidebar block for your homepage, but it doesn’t change it? – http://screencast.com/t/W5xkPKmRjp
Also for post pages, if you use a custom sidebar for category template, the post will inherit that sidebar – http://screencast.com/t/koUf5vkxK
Please check this like Christopher suggested, without any plugins active except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have this issue.
If the issue persist please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin access so we can take a look, also paste a link to this topic so we can know who you are and what your issue is.
Thanks!
Not sure here if there was an easier way… but I wanted to change the title of the News Ticker… I’ve patched the td_block_trending_now to call `$this-get_title(); Maybe it will help others…
// ### /includes/shortcodes/td_block_trending_now.php
$buffy .= '<div class="td-trending-now-title">' . __td(strip_tags($this->get_block_title()), TD_THEME_NAME) . '</div><div class="td-trending-now-display-area">';
