Custom Sidebar on Events Archive

[bjhdesign]

Hi there,

how can I display a custom sidebar on the events archive?

Right now, the default Blog Sidebar is displayed, but I’d like to change that to a custom sidebar.
Theme is Avada btw.

I suggest three options:

1) Change a template. Where and how would I do that?
2) Assign a new widget in Appearance >> Widgets. But as I said, only the Blog Sidebar is shown.
3) The Avada Theme automatically creates a new widget section called “Event Calendar” (class=”fusion-eventcalendar”), but it doesn’t show anywhere.

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out!

Fortunately, custom sidebars are pretty straightforward to set up, and you can add them to templates so they will only display on certain pages.

We have a guide to help you with customizing templates. Once you’ve got the template set up, you can create a custom sidebar by following these instructions, and then add it to the template by using get_sidebar. Once this has been done, you should see your custom sidebar appear in the widget area, where you can drag and drop widgets into it like any other sidebar.

I’m not familiar with the Avada theme, but you should be able to use their widgets on custom sidebars.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional guidance to implement your custom sidebar!

Thanks,

Jennifer
