Hi there,

I am using the X Theme, and am having major trouble adding a sidebar in.
How do I do it? I have created a sidebar in the widget area, and now I want to assign it to a particular page.

I have changed the template on the page I want to create it under to ‘layout left, sidebar right’ and vice versa, and it still doesnt work.

Am I missing a simply trick?

Hi Jayd,

Thank you for writing in!

I’m unable to open your website, would you mind confirming the URL again?

Hi Jayd,

You are using an old version of x theme.

Please update theme and plugins to see if this resolves the issue.

Here is the guide.

Hi there,

I have updated the theme, but sadly have the same problem.
I have tried creating a side bar, and then changing the page layout to content left, sidebar right – and still not showing up.
Have also tried to use the widget custom sidebar to add one in – still not working.

What is the usual protocol for sidebars in xtheme?
Is there a step by step tutorial for how they work with x theme?

Hi Jayd,

You need to set Content layout to have a sidebar in the customizer.

That’s great!

I have some CSS code added which makes the nav bar and footer transparent, but it has also made sidebar transparent – is there another css code for customizer that can make the sidebar white to match the page?

Thanks so much for your help so far!

[Jayd KParticipant]

The sidebar is also at a strange width – could you advise?

Sorry – to be clear, when I ask the sidebar to display thumbnail size images, there is space left on the side. When I specify medium images, the space disappears. Is this normal? Can anything be done if I want a more narrow sidebar?

Hi there,

I’m not sure what you mean but i try my chance by suggesting you some code.
Please add the following CSS code under Customize -> Custom -> CSS:

.x-sidebar img {
margin: 0 auto;
display: block;
}

Hope it helps.

[Jayd KParticipant]

Thats done it – thanks so much!

[CousettMember]

Glad we were able to help. 🙂 Have a nice day.

Is it not possible to add a sidebar to a specific pages?

I’d like to add a sidebar to all my pages except my homepage.

(I’m using Cornerstone now, btw, but I don’t believe that will make any difference.)

Thanks.
