side bars

judy35 · October 2019

I would like to add a side bar to my blog page. I have named this page ‘Articles’. On this page I have used the right column
layout and set the template to default, but the page does not show a side bar!

Even if I had a side bar, I don’t know how to add items to a
side bar.

I have watched the video’s several times. Can you help?

1) You didn't set the main blog page in the Wordpress settings.

Settings > Reading

2) The sidebar wasn't set in the main blog page or in the theme options.

3) There is no sidebar on your page

How it should supposed to work, when any of the data is provided?

I created a sample sidebar on your website and it works fine.

Thanks

Thanks, however now it repeats my news category. I am only using two categories books, and
news. My Blog page is Articles. On the Page Articles, in the sidebar it shows
these two categories and repeats the news category on the main part of the
page. How do I get rid of the second set of News Post?

I would like to configure the sidebar but don’t know where
to start! What items should go into it?
And where is it configured?

Okay, I see what you done here.

In this case, I changed the main blog page from "Article" to "Blog", to prevent inheriting the content from Muffin Builder.

It's okay now.

Thanks

Did you make this change in "settings - reading?

Did you have to change anything else?

Thanks

Pablo · October 2019

Yes, I've changed the main blog page there.

No, only this change.

Thanks

Thanks,

The sidebar is working, and I can add widgets, but I can’t lower
the sidebar and it extends into the main menu on the top.

I tried moving the sidebar down using “muffin builder” but
that doesn’t work. I have looked in
theme options but can’t find where to lower the sidebar.

Can you help?

Sure,

Apply the shortcode of "Divider" item with height attribute inside using the "Custom HTML" widget

Or just create a div inside with some CSS inside.

Thanks

Thanks, I used this css: <div style="position:relative; top:-100px"></div> with the custom css widget

One last question on sidebars pertaining to the calendar widget. The date of a blog POST does not show on the calendar. I know the date is the same color as the background but I can't figure which setting to change.

Thanks

menu - Articles

Calendar widget does not show the date of a creating of single post - it does not have this feature.

I do not quite understand

Thanks

Look at the calendar on the Articles Page. October the 11th doesn't show. When you mouse over it the pointer changes to a hand. When you click on it opens the Post that was created on that date. I would like date to be bold and show.

Please copy that css code into the Theme Options > Custom CSS & JS > CSS

.calendar_wrap td a {
  color:gold;
  font-weight:800;
}

Thanks

Thanks,

Is there a way I can get a list of the classes and div’s so
I can do these changes myself?

I am pretty good HTML, CSS, and PHP programmer.

You can check all of the classess, id on the inspector of every browser.
