Hello, I have noticed the sidebar of posts are not appearing. Please see for an example: http://www.mainstrock.com/what-is-prayer/
Please advise. Thank you.
Hello,
Please check your sidebars if they are set on posts or in the category options from the theme panel. If everything is OK there, then please check your widgets area. Sometimes WP will strip the widgets area in special cases, one of them being using special characters for widget titles or the memory allocation is not high enough.
Please follow this guide to increase it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Thank you Bogdan,
I did go to the widget section and see it is blank. I looked at the link you gave, however this seems a little above my capabilities. Are these changes easy to do? Do I need to have any special programs to make these changes?
Thank you for all of your assistance.
Hi,
Basically you need to edit a few files and change a few values here and there. It’s not that complicated. This task does not require coding knowledge. You simply have to edit 2 files with a text editor (notepad++ is free) and edit or insert a few pieces of text. You will need to know how to copy and paste and type in a few things.
You will need to edit 2 files for this task: The first one is wp-config.php and the other is php.ini.
You can find wp-config.ini in the main wordpress installation folder.
In the wp-config.php you have to add this line to the bottom of the code:
define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’ );
That’s it with this file. You now need to edit the php.ini file. This can be found in different places depending on your hosting provider. If you cannot locate it, please contact your hosting to let you know where you can find it.
In the php.ini file you have to edit a few numbers.
search for these entries and replace them with the corresponding values. They should look like this:
max_input_vars = 5000
max_execution_time = 300
post_max_size = 50M
If this does not help you on your task, then you will need to get someone to help you.
Thank you!
Thank you for the detailed answer. Final question, in the widget section, I see a number of sidebar sections, do I put the widgets in the “Newspaper Default” section? And what exact widgets did you use to for the Advertising and Must Read sidebar sections I see on the template? Thank you for your assistance.
Hello,
You can add widgets to any sidebar you want including the ones you create (you can create your own and delete the predefined ones as well) Then you can chose the sidebar you want on posts/pages
Please follow this tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
The blocks we used in our demo are simply ones you can chose from the widgets area. The advertisement is an ad box and the ‘Must Read’ element is a content block although I can’t find it at the moment to tell you which one we used. You can check how content blocks display here: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
