change sidebar

[Emmy]

Hi,
I would like to have a specific sidebar next to the list of individual events. As I see it now, that’s not possible when using the free version: the standard sidebare is shown, and changing it will have sidewide effect.
Would the PRO-version solve this problem, as this has the option of shortcodes?

Hey Emmy,

Thanks for reaching out.

Sidebars are generated by your theme, so their location is controlled not by any plugins, but by the theme itself; and so upgrading to Events Calendar Pro would not solve that problem right away.

However, yes, as you mention Events Calendar Pro does have a number of shortcodes. And so, for example, you could make a “page” in your wp-admin with a page template that uses the desired sidebar, and then you could add Events Calendar Pro shortcodes to this page. The generated Shortcode output would be there alongside the desired shortcode.

I hope this information helps!

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I use Custom Sidebars (https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sidebars/) for different sections of my site. According to the customizer I can only use the standard (theme defined ) sidebars. So I suppose the only workaround is indeed the Pro version for The Events Calendar.

Sounds good Emmy — since the sidebar-generation aspect of your questions is resolved, I will close this thread for now.

Open a new thread any time if other issues or questions arise!

Cheers,
George
