Sidebar mystery.

  • Hey guys,

    Before you judge, you should know that I am in no way wordpress literate (yet), I am very green, and, as such I would appreciate the humble opinion/guidance of someone more experienced than I, rather than a fit of condescending jargon.

    I’ve just started https://www.captainbluefingers.com, I’m mostly happy with my current rate of learning and how it’s all going, but I have one issue that, despite the volume of similar enquiries on here, I cannot seem to find and answer to:

    How do I introduce a sidebar to my static pages, as well as my ‘posts’ page. It’s currently displaying within ‘posts’ only, which is leaving the rest of the site looking a little lonely. I am using the Konmi theme, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    you seem to have found the sidebar settings, under ‘Customize’ which can be reached either from the dropdown of tha adminbar, or via ‘dashboard – appearance – customize’

    ‘introducing’ a sidebar to the static pages would need coding – which, after your intro, might be too advanced.

    the general approach would be:
    – create a child theme (recommended but not necessary for the process);
    – edit page.php and change the code in a similar way as it is done in single.php in the section between <?php if ($sidebar_single == "block") : ?> in line 17 and <?php endif; ?> in line 54;
    – adjust some CSS if necessary (haven’t checked that).
