Hello there,
I got two questions and very sorry, I’m a wordpress newbie.
1. I choose a custom sidebar for a special category from the theme panel (which I create in the widget section). But all I see is the default sidebar? I also tried to set the sidebar for all categories, but nothing works.
2. Can I have a full article post in the Visual Composer? I just see the title, date and author…
Thank you very much for your help
Hi
The sidebar set for categories in theme panel applies only only that specific category page. For example if I set a custom sidebar for Apple category here: http://screencast.com/t/UZ7LIZQF6Ls it will be displayed on Apple category page here: http://screencast.com/t/ic77qeZuTbIN and also on every post from Apple category which does not have another sidebar set in post editor. By selecting here Default Sidebar: http://screencast.com/t/WOc692xRVo the theme will display the sidebar set for the post’s category, not a sidebar named “Default Sidebar”
The theme don’t have a block which display the entire post content in Visual Composer. If you want to display all post content on a page then use pagebuilder + latest and set module 15 for layout: http://screencast.com/t/DShLQP5Dir
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hello Andrei,
thank you very much for your answer and really detailed informations!
For the sidebar I already tried this way and it basically works – except for the archive.php. And that’s the exact part where I want the other sidebar to be… I tried everything but it’s always the default sidebar there.
Oh that’s really a pity. So I can’t use VC Widgets and a latest article? I want two category related article on top, then the latest article + sidebar and at the end again some articles from a special category.
Kind regards
Hi
The sidebar for archive page can be set from theme panel > template settings: http://screencast.com/t/G6KahfUyq
By default on archive page you can’t use the page-builder from Visual Composer. However you can use do_sortcode function to display blocks on archive page. First you need to get the shortcode from Visual Composer: http://screencast.com/t/vDPzUEldhk – http://screencast.com/t/lqxAJrJcjwn0 then paste it into the indicated function like here: http://screencast.com/t/GgZz9psSiVv
<?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][td_block_6 category_id="28" limit="6"][/vc_column][/vc_row]');?>
This code will display a block 6 on archive page: http://screencast.com/t/4LDqqUUah This is just a basic example but you can customize it in many different ways.
Let me know how it goes and if this is not what you mean please provide more details.
Thanks!
Hello,
that’s my problem. I tried to set the sidebar from theme panel > template settings, but the sidebar doesn’t change at all.
Kind regards

Hello,
thank you. I think it’s maybe because of a plugin I use…
Can I asked someting else? How can I display sub-sub categories under the header? It’s like
Categorie
– Sub-Categorie
— Sub-Sub-Categorie
When I click on Sub-Categorie all Sub-Categories are displayed under the main categories (header menue). But how can I display the sub-sub-categories there too?
Thank you and have a nice weekend

This is a complex task which require many customization and loots of tests. Unfortunately time does not allow us to provide custom services at the moment. If you need this and you’re not aware of the steps you need to take in this regard please consider hiring a developer or a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ to do this for you.
