Hello
I set up sidebars for all types of content but it works only at posts. I can’t see them on pages and category pages. Every page has it own sidebar, which I built at widget section. I set up also default custom sidebars and positions at settings.
Category page example: http://www.binarynews.pl/brokerzy/
Page example: http://www.binarynews.pl/kontakt/
Could you help me figure it out why sidebars don’t appear ?
Regards
Marek
Hello scorp,
I have checked your website and I suspect that you do not properly set the sidebars. So, for pages, if you want to display the sidebars you will have two possibilities -> 1) Using the Visual Composer with this layout (2/3+1/3) like this -> http://screencast.com/t/eDiV5efbhEq (in this case you will have to use the default page template or pagebuilder+latest articles+pagination) -> http://screencast.com/t/oNKE9O2l0S or 2) You can use the pagebuilder+page title template and the sidebar you will have to set from the theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/bRM71kT0Q -> http://screencast.com/t/5J9wz7SlDv9A
For category pages, all the settings about these you can set from Theme panel->Categories, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/dkvo6Cad
For more information about our sidebars, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-category-settings-work/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/ Also, this tutorial could be more useful for you because there you will see how you can use the Visual Composer, like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
As a notice, for better results, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches, purge CDN file if you are using the CDN system and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Thank you for detailed instruction. I succeeded to set up sidebar at page using VC but unfortunately there is no result at categories. I set up everything properly (sidebar mode, custom sidbars etc.) at Newspaper theme panel. Please take a look at enclosed screens:
I also noticed problem with building widgets. Sometimes it can’t be saved and after adding elements and save they are “clear” without content.
I turn off plugins one by one (most important apart from some small extensions like icons pack) and deleted caches. Also with no result for displaying sidebar.
List o my plugins (additional): Cookie Notice, CodeStyling Localization, Collapse-O-Matic, Disqus Comment System, Mango Buttons, Login No Captcha reCAPTCHA, Pretty Link Lite, Reviewer, Scroll to Anchor, TablePress with extensions, Use Any Font, WP SVG Icons, Yoast SEO
I would be gratefull for other suggestions 🙂

It is possible that your plugins to interfere between them and might cause some unknown issues.

Hello Catalin,
I did what you advised. Disabled every plugin (apart wp super cache) –> delete cache –> Activate tagDiv booster only (I don;t remember else boundle plugins) –> Delete cache again. So I left almost naked theme, but sidebars still don’t work.
