Hi,
as above. I know this has been discussed a lot, but there seems to be many different solutions for different situations.

However, I found an answer that seems to be exactly what I need – https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/sidebar-on-single-product-page-7/

My problem is, in the instructions on how to acheive it, specifically “Please create a sidebar via Appearance > Sidebars. You can select it to only appear on product pages.” I can create a new sidebar no problem, but I can’t see where to have it show on product pages. Everywhere else yes, but not on product pages.

Could you please enlighten me?

Thanks again for all your help.

Hi There,

First, we need to check your setup so that we could see what did you miss.

Please share us your admin credentials in private reply.

Meanwhile, you could follow the link below about sidebars:

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Hi,
I don’t think I missed anything, everything is straightforward, as per the link.

I’m just asking, what term do I actually select out of the 2 lists on the left of the Manage Sidebars form (All Pages and Posts / All Taxonomies) to get it to show on the single product page?

Thanks again,
Philip.

Hello Philip,

To achieve that we need to add the following code on your child theme style.css file:

To display sidebar on single product page:

 function x_get_content_layout() {

    $content_layout = x_get_option( 'x_layout_content' );

    if ( $content_layout != 'full-width' ) {
      if ( is_home() ) {
        $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_blog_layout' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( is_singular( 'post' ) ) {
        $meta   = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_x_post_layout', true );
        $layout = ( $meta == 'on' ) ? 'full-width' : $content_layout;
      } elseif ( x_is_portfolio_item() ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } elseif ( x_is_portfolio() ) {
        $meta   = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_x_portfolio_layout', true );
        $layout = ( $meta == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $meta;
      } elseif ( is_page_template( 'template-layout-content-sidebar.php' ) ) {
        $layout = 'content-sidebar';
      } elseif ( is_page_template( 'template-layout-sidebar-content.php' ) ) {
        $layout = 'sidebar-content';
      } elseif ( is_page_template( 'template-layout-full-width.php' ) ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } elseif ( is_archive() ) {
        if ( x_is_shop() || x_is_product_category() || x_is_product_tag() ) {
          $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_woocommerce_shop_layout_content' );
          $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
        } else {
          $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_archive_layout' );
          $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
        }
      } elseif ( x_is_product() ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } elseif ( x_is_bbpress() ) {
        $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_bbpress_layout_content' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( x_is_buddypress() ) {
        $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_buddypress_layout_content' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( is_404() ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } else {
        $layout = $content_layout;
      }
    } else {
      $layout = $content_layout;
    }
		if ( x_is_product() ) {
				$layout = 'content-sidebar';
		}
    return $layout;

  }

To display custom sidebar. Replace ups-sidebar-cat-sidebar with your own custom sidebar ID.

add_filter( 'ups_sidebar', 'product_sidebar', 9999 );

function product_sidebar ( $default_sidebar ) {
if ( x_is_product() ) return 'ups-sidebar-cat-sidebar'; //Must match the ID of your target sidebar
return $default_sidebar;
}

Hope this helps.

Hello Lely,
many thanks for all that, but unfortunately, it hasn’t made any difference.

Is there something else I need to do as well, or is that everything above?

I will put log in deetails below just incase.

Thank you,
Philip.

Hello Philip,

Thank you for the credentials.
I made a mistake on my previous instruction. It should be added instead on your child theme’s functions.php file. I have remove it from style.css file and move it functions.php file. The sidebar is now showing. See this:http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cbVO2hQMWw. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
thanks, I see it.

I know I didn’t specifically say this, but I expected it to be on the left hand side, the same as the other sidebars. Sorry about not being clearer about that.
Would it take much to change it?

Thanks again,
Philip.

Hello Philip,

Look for this part of the code:

if ( x_is_product() ) {
	$layout = 'content-sidebar';
}

Update to this:

if ( x_is_product() ) {
	$layout = 'sidebar-content';
}

Cheers!

[Philip M]

Thanks again Lely,
you’re a star.
Regards,
Philip.

[Lely]

Cheers!
