Hi.
Is there a way to use standard sidebars while using page builder? Current way by building every single sidebar within each page/post is VERY uncomfortable for me and actually I can’t use it successfully because I have various elements.. Is there some kind of a code which I could add to use standard sidebars for VC pages as well?
Hi,
If you use Visual Composer to create your page, you can use Widgetised Sidebar block to display your custom sidebar – http://screencast.com/t/QgjXE99zqzw5 as the sidebar is added automatically only if you don’t use VC pagebuilder.
If you need this, you can switch to PageBuilder with title template which allows you to set the sidebar from Page Settings – http://screencast.com/t/6Wklpgg3e – http://screencast.com/t/ufa8te8Ijz
But you need to be careful how you add blocks to the page if you use this template, for example Big Grid can be used only on full row width(so you cannot use it on this template only if you don’t use sidebar) – http://screencast.com/t/3cz3DtNHnlT – http://screencast.com/t/Oinr6S3zvLT
On posts you can select a custom sidebar.
– It can be set globally (to all posts) from Theme Panel -> Template Settings -> Blog and post settings – http://screencast.com/t/FBCaRUVYe2
– On each category, this will override the global settings and the posts included in the category will inherit the settings from here – http://screencast.com/t/j7J0vtEBti
– And it can be set individually on each post (overrides global and category settings) – http://screencast.com/t/DhiJ3uqcr
Hope this helps!
HUGE thanks! It really solved my issue!
