PRO: No Sidebar shown

Support
#1

Hi there,
i didn’t work with sidebars before, so probably I don’t understand the concept …

I did create a sidebar, selected my startingpage in the left colmn and filled the sidebar with two widgets. In the theme options, I did select “Content left, Siderbar right”. But no sidebar is shown.

How can I show the sidebar on my starting page?

Best regards

Uli

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in!

Can you please change the page template to sidebar right or left you want.
Click on the setting icon in the left.

Then change your page template.

Hope this helps!

Now I see the sidebar. Thank you. But how can I have a “no container” look with full page view now?

Or at least have a slider, hero image shown in full with on top of the page?

Best regards

Hi There,

Thanks for asking again!

Please change the page layout to previous one and use classic widget element to add sidebar where ever you want.

In this case, you can create fullwidth section as well as sidebar sections.

Thanks

Hi basanta, thank you for your help.

This might be a workaround, but is not exactly what I needed.

I have to work with different rows to structure my content (full-size rows, 3/3 rows, 1/3 + 2/3 rows etc.).
If I add the classic widget to the first row, all content of the next row will be pushed down depending on the amount of content that is shown in the widget. If tehere are many news to be shown in the widget, there will be lots of space between row 1 and 2 in the main area.

Any other idea?

Best regards

Hi Uli,

You may select a layout with sidebar. then add the code below in your child theme’s functions.php file to add a full width slider on top.

function add_my_slider() {   
    if(is_home()){
        echo do_shortcode('[rev_slider alias="test"]');
   }
}
add_action( 'x_after_view_global__slider-below', 'add_my_slider', 10 );

Change [rev_slider alias="test"] with your slider shortcode.

Hope this helps
