I have been trying to add a sidebar/ widget area to the home page of the newspaper 8 pre-built page. In the page template settings it says “While using a page builder sidebar settings are not available. To add a sidebar on page use the widgetised sidebar block.”
So I went to the editor and tried adding a widget sidebar to and empty column. It just shows as a narrow red block with no content. Im totally lost here
Hi,
The widgets will be seen once you save and view the page, in the actual page editing screen the widget sidebar element will appear like this

Please let us know if you have further questions.
Thanks
Simon,
I put a widget side bar on one of my pages just as you explained. ON the build page it shows as a solid red line all the way across, instead of having a break like in the photo you showed me.

Is the page it is installed on. and the widgetbar is showing up in the main body of the page. How do I fix this? The currency converted and rss news feed are the sidebar items.
Hello,
Sidebars cannot be added to pages in the standard way as you would on a post.
Sidebars on pages are added on a split row in the tagdiv composer either by placing elements directly or by using a widget sidebar element that will grab one of your existing sidebars from the widgets area.
Thank you!
