Pages in a different folder have no sidebar

Hi. All of our pages created within the “Pages” folder have a right sidebar except for the front page (home page). The backend of these pages also have sections for “Page Attributes”, “Append a Ninja Form”, “Layouts”, etc.

We decided to create another folder apart from the “Pages” folder because we want to organise new pages into different folders. We accomplished this using the Pods plugin.

However, we noticed that the new pages created from these folders are not like our default pages that have a right sidebar. The backend of these pages also do not have the sections mentioned above – especially the “Layouts” section which is responsible for assigning a sidebar to a page.

How do we add a sidebar to these new pages created from outside the “Pages” folder? The only solution I see at the moment is to re-create all the pages from inside the “Pages” folder so I can control the layout. But I’m sure there’s another way.

Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.
