How to get a customized sidebar on the post archive page (Ethos)

Support
#1

I have created a special sidebar (in the widget area) that I want to display on my yearly post archive. I’ve found the wp-index.php and placed it in my child-theme folder. But I can’t figure out how to load my special sidebar there.

Best Regards
Bengt

Hi Bengt,

Thank you for reaching out to us. To assign a custom sidebar to your archive pages, assuming that the child theme is set up, please add the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file

// =============================================================================
// Assign sidebar to custom post archives
// =============================================================================
add_filter( 'ups_sidebar', 'add_cpt_sidebar' );
function add_cpt_sidebar($sidebar){
  if ( is_archive()) {
    return 'ups-sidebar-my-sidebar';
  }
  return $sidebar;
}
// =============================================================================

Don’t forget replace ups-sidebar-my-sidebar with the actual ID of your custom sidebar as shown below:

Hope this helps!
