I have created a sidebar called posts. I checked the category “Construction Talk” but when I create a new post in that category, I still have to manually add it to the sidebar by checking the post title.

Also, How can I remove the delay of the grids appearing. I have disabled animation but there is still a delay.

Hi There,

In regards to the delay, not sure if there is a delay. Would you mind sharing us a screenshot or a short video of the delay that you want to show to us.

And for the sidebar category construction talk, Would you mind testing deactivating X theme if the problem still exist or plugin test conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third party plugins, and seeing if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks.

These are the pages where the delay is obvious to me. Everything on the page appears immediately. The tiles appear visibly after everything else. In the next couple of days, I’ll take the steps you mentioned to try and troubleshoot the sidebar issue.

Please have another look.

Thanks

Hey Bob,

I’m sorry but I couldn’t see the delay on my end. Could you reduce the number of posts showing up in your portfolio and blog then test again?

Regarding the sidebar, sorry for the confusion. Checking the taxonomy will not display the sidebar for the posts with the category. You will need to manually check the post. The reason for that is because you can select multiple categories per posts and the dynamic sidebar only allows one sidebar to display. Selecting the taxonomy will display the sidebar in the category page if you chose to display a sidebar for archive pages in the Customizer.

Hope that clarifies.

That’s very disappointing . The person that does the blogging/posts for this site doesn’t have admin rights and doesn’t know anything about wordpress. It’s a big inconvenience for me to have to go back and add it every time she makes a new post. Is there a way to select all posts?

Hi Bob,

Sidebars are part of the design which only admin can manage by default. But, it still possible with custom development, I’ll provide some idea, but I can’t provide the coding. It’s best to consult it to a developer

1. Add custom field or post meta box for posts that will allow a user (non-admin) to choose the sidebar to display

Example, let’s say she added post_sidebar as custom field, and the value is the sidebar ID.

This is easy, but to make it more user-friendly, then post meta box is recommended so she won’t need to add ID manually. The sidebar ID is available when you create a custom sidebar at Admin > Appearance > Sidebars

2. Use WordPress’s filter too hook on ups_sidebar to display user’s assigned sidebar.

Example,

add_filter('ups_sidebar', 'custom_post_sidebar', 99);

function custom_post_sidebar ( $sidebar ) {

if( is_singular('post') ) return get_post_meta ( get_the_ID(), 'post_sidebar', true);

return $sidebar;

}

That’s it 🙂 , if you’re not sure about this then it’s best to consult it to a developer.

Thanks for understanding.
