Adding Sidebar To A Custom Post Type

illusion_scorpillusion_scorp
in Theme support
I am using event manager plugin which creates a custom post type to add event. 
How can I use the theme functions or options to add sidebar to the single event page?
I am using child theme for customisation, can you please point me into the right direction to achieve this?

Thank you.

    Hi,

    what you ask for, requires files customization what in reference to Item Support Policy is not allowed. So if you want to modify files and don't know how, you should contact with your web developer. As a hint, we suggest to check how we made our post types. All files, you can find under /includes/ folder.

    Thanks!

    I am a developer myself. And I am customising the theme using child-theme and not editing theme files directly. I would have to study the theme code in depth to figure out where to add code for adding sidebar to the custom post type hence I would highly appreciate if you can point out which files needs to be edited in order to achieve that, it will be a huge time saver.
    Thank you.

    As we already said above, all custom post types we made you can find under /includes/ folder and if you create own post types, you need to base on these files. And if you are developer, all our custom post types located in this folder, should be definitely enough. Please bear in mind, that files customization are not allowed as we already mentioned above.

    I am not sure if you understood the question correctly.
    I am not creating a post type nor am I customising the core theme files.
    I simply want to add sidebar to an already existing custom post type created by event-manager plugin.
    This is a very basic theme support question and it shouldn't be difficult for you to answer.

    Yes, this one is very easy and we understand it very well however we do not have an option to add sidebars for custom post types provided by 3rd party plugins and this requires files customization unfortunately.

    Thanks for understanding!

    Wordpress supports file customisation using child theme and so should you.
    Sorry, but I do not understand why can you not advise on how to add a sidebar to a custom post type (Irrespective of if it is created by a plugin or by the user of your theme).
    Scalability of a theme is a very basic thing and your response is highly disappointing for that, specially if you advertise your theme as multipurpose and it fails to serve a simple purpose.

    We explained above why we can't. It's very simple - files customization are not included and if you do not understand this, we suggest to send refund request because we can see you have no idea what you bought and you don't know anything about the Item Support Policy. This was explained very clear on https://themeforest.net/page/item_support_policy so please do not force us for customization because we do not make any exceptions and we would like to be fair to everyone.
