Sidebars in WpResidence allow you to display widgets next to your main content on property pages, blog posts, category pages, or any individual page. The theme includes default sidebars, plus the ability to create unlimited custom sidebars and assign them wherever you need.
Default Sidebars
WpResidence comes with two built-in sidebars:
• Primary Sidebar
• Secondary Sidebar
These appear in the Widgets screen and can be populated with any available widget.
You can add or remove widgets by going to:
Appearance → Widgets
Creating Custom Sidebars
You can create unlimited custom sidebars and assign them to individual pages, posts, or property pages.
To create a new custom sidebar:
-
Go to Appearance → Sidebars
-
Click + Add Sidebar
-
Enter a name for your sidebar
-
Save
Your new sidebar will now appear in Appearance → Widgets, where you can add widgets to it.
Custom sidebars allow you to create different layouts for different areas of your website (for example, one sidebar for the blog, another for property pages, another for agent pages, etc.).
Assigning Sidebars to Pages, Posts, and Properties
After you create a sidebar, you can assign it individually to any page or post.
