Hello,

I have enabled the Smart sidebar, and also the same sidebar for page, post and category, but I just cannot see it anywhere. I followed your video tutorial on smart sidebar and also your tutorial titled “Sidebars tutorial”. What could be the problem?

Hi,

So you enabled the smart sidebar setting and the sidebars are not sticky? I could take a look, provide a link to your website.

Once enabled the sidebar will be sticky on all post pages, category pages etc. In pages created with the tagDiv composer you will have to use the dedicated “Sticky” column setting as mentioned in the guide

I am using TD composer, and I don’t quite understand where should I see the “Widget Sidebar” element to add my sidebar, nor it is not clear from the tutorial you linked, how do I “create a sidebar by splitting a row in a 2/3 + 1/3 column layout and adding content directly into the column”.

Thank you for your screenshots. I managed to add sidebar but my site looks like this now:

So the content block goes to bottom when I add items to the sidebar.

And why does not the “Smart sidebar” work on the front page?

I could take a look at that page, post a link to it if possible. Note that for a column to be sticky (smart) in pages, you have to enable this option

Enable it for the columns you wan to be sticky.

This will work best if the column which you plan to make sticky has fewer content than the other column besides it.

I enabled the option you mentioned. For some reason the sidebar doesnt seem to be “sticky” on the frontpage.

For which column did you enable the setting? Then only viable column to be sticky in that page is the left one

Making the right longer column sticky will have no effect, since your main content is short in height. Please add more content in the left column to actually see how the sticky setting works.

I have made a video to demonstrate how a sticky column can be used. In this example I have a longer content and a shorter sidebar. I want this sidebar to always be in view as I scroll the main content

Notice the right sidebar sticking as I scroll down the page, that would be how the setting works. Hope this helps.
