Switching from Classic Blog to Classic Blog Pro

Hi tagDiv,

I want to switch from Classic Blog to Classic Blog Pro to improve Google PageSpeed performance. I created a staging area to make sure things look right, but I feel like whenever I change something in the theme, it doesn’t show up.

Staging Area Site

For example, I edited the sidebar to include specific boxes, but the preview still shows the preinstalled ones (latest comments, latest posts, etc.) and my main staging page doesn’t have the sidebar at all even though I changed it in the settings.

Hello!

I can not see your screenshot.
I think you should modify the contents of the sidebar with TagDiv Composer in order to display whatever you need there.

Thank you!

Hi Bettina,

I don’t understand your response.

Please view https://themoneyninja.com that’s using Classic Blog theme on desktop. The sidebar I created using WordPress “Widgets” under “Appearance” is shown correctly with my Subscribe box and Author box.

The staging site http://staging.themoneyninja.com that’s using Classic Blog Pro. There’s no sidebar at all in the home page, and the sidebar in the post is showing completely different information like “Recent Posts” and “Popular Categories”.

I want my original sidebar to be shown. What do I need to do?

Hello!

The templates of Classic Blog Pro can be edited with TagDiv Composer plugin (documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/). When you edit the homepage you can build the design same as in Classic Blog. You can delete elements which you don’t want on the page and insert there the element called “widget sidebar”, please take a look here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/

Hope that helps you!

Thank you!
