Change the sidebar for event

[Margaret Rodgers]

G’day,

I’m creating a series of pages around an event we have coming up and was wanting the Event Page to be branded the same as those pages.

Here’s the event page:
http://cru.org.au/event/3-events-for-3-decades/

Is there a way I can change the sidebar to the custom one I’ve made for the other pages? It’s all in early development, but here’s the sidebar in question: http://cru.org.au/3d-presenters/

Cheers

Hugh

Hi there!

To control which sidebar shows on your events pages, you will need to select a template that has the code to output the sidebar. In Events > Settings > Events Template, you can choose between the default events template, the default theme page template, and any custom page templates you have created.

So, you will need to:

1) Create the custom template
2) Enable it in this setting

To create the template, I would start by making a copy of your theme’s default page template, and then modify it to use the sidebar of your choice. You can find more information about creating custom WordPress templates here: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/

To learn more about adding a sidebar to your template, check out the documentation for adding sidebars: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_sidebar/

Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
Sky
