Sidebar

  • I’m a huge fan of Tracks and I will continue to use this theme for the foreseeable future.
    I’m wondering if it’s possible to insert widgets on a sidebar instead of only under the content or on the footer. This is the only thing Tracks lacks in my opinion.

    Hey I’m glad you like it!

    We’ve considered this deeply, and decided not to incorporate a sidebar into Tracks in favor of using other widget areas throughout the design. We may however be adding more widget areas such as before/between the posts.

    Is there a way to manually do this? I’ve been using Tracks for two years inside an iFrame, and would love to stick with the theme…but I’m trying to ditch the iFrame altogether and opt for an image map in a sidebar.

    Surely there has to be a way to override this.

    Yes it can certainly be done manually with code. The general idea is that you will register a widget area for the sidebar, and then include that widget area after the main content area (in footer.php). You can then use CSS to float the main content to the right/left and display the sidebar next to it.

    Awesome! I’m going to try just that.

    Thank you for the tip!
