I have checked the forum, I have seen a thread on how to add a sidebar with portfolio items listed (#91697). This one works but it displays the same thumbnails on all portfolio items. Is there anything I can add to the query filter to have is display specific categories?

Or

I was wondering if there is a way to add a normal sidebar to single portfolio items which is controlled from the WP Widgets area. So basically, having a normal widgetised sidebar on single portfolio.

How would I go about doing that please?

Cheers,

To enable sidebar in Portfolio item,

You need to make sure you use and activate a child theme,

then copy both of these file to your child theme.

x/framework/views/[your-stack]/wp-sidebar.php
x/framework/views/[your-stack]/wp-single-x-portfolio.php

edit x-child-[your-stack]/framework/views/[your-stack]/wp-sidebar.php (the one you copied to your child theme)

At the very top, you’ll see this code <?php if ( x_get_content_layout() != 'full-width' ) : ?>

change it to <?php if ( x_get_content_layout() != 'full-width' || is_singular( 'x-portfolio' ) ) : ?>

Then edit x-child-[your-stack]/framework/views/[your-stack]/wp-single-x-portfolio.php
That file would look something like this

<?php get_header(); ?>
  
  <div class="x-container-fluid max width offset">
    <div class="x-row-fluid">
      <div class="x-main full" role="main">

        <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
          <?php x_get_view( 'renew', 'content', 'portfolio' ); ?>
          <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_comments-template' ); ?>
        <?php endwhile; ?>

      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Change this line <div class="x-main full" role="main"> to <div class="x-main left" role="main">

Then add <?php get_sidebar(); ?> before the 2nd from last </div>

New code should look like this

<?php get_header(); ?>
  
  <div class="x-container-fluid max width main">
    <div class="offset cf">
      <div class="x-main left" role="main">

        <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
          <?php x_get_view( 'ethos', 'content', 'portfolio' ); ?>
          <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_comments-template' ); ?>
        <?php endwhile; ?>

      </div>
	  <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    </div>
  </div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I hope that helps,

Have a great day

Done the job – thank you.

You should edit your custom templates and replace all existence of x-container-fluid to x-container.

Eg. from <div class="x-container-fluid max width offset cf">

to <div class="x-container max width offset cf">

Hope this helps.

#1 Please review this : theme.co/x/member/kb/unlimited-sidebars, You should assign specific sidebar to your page/post to avoid displaying ‘Main Sidebar’ in there.

#2 Is that normal sidebar or custom sidebar? Please provide us with URL.

Thanks.
