Sidebar Set Up

[Nora]

I just downloaded PRO and activated it. I set up some styling pieces, but I can’t figure out how to get it to showcase the widget/sidebar that I want it to. It’s displaying a sidebar completely unrelated. I’ve gone between the Default Page Template and the Default Events Template but nothing changes. And I can’t find it in Editor. How do you select which sidebar you’d like it to show?

Hi Nora and thanks for getting in touch!

There are a couple of ways to get a specific sidebar on the calendar:

• Try a plugin. For example, one like this could be used to create custom sidebars and assign them to the calendar pages. I believe Jetpack’s module for Widget Visibility is another option.
• Template override. You can also customize any calendar template by creating a tribe-events folder in your theme (or child theme) snd modifying it. For example, drop the default-template.php file in that folder and include the sidebar you want where you would like it to appear.

Does this help you get started? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers,
Geoff

Thank you. Where is it currently pulling the page sidebar from though? I have it has a Default Page Template but the sidebar that is showing is not my default sidebar.

That would be the page.php file in the theme. The sidebar that is defined in there is the one that will control the widgets in Appearance > Widgets.
