Sidebars help enhance your WordPress site by adding widgets like recent posts, categories, social counters, or custom content. This guide will show you how to create a custom sidebar and easily add it to your page using the theme’s page builder.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 1: Access the WordPress Dashboard<\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.<\/li>\n
  2. From the left-hand menu, go to Appearance > Widgets<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. You\u2019ll now be in the Sidebar & Widgets Settings panel. On the left side, you\u2019ll see the available widgets, and on the right side, you\u2019ll find the Sidebar Generator Tool along with the theme’s default sidebars.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Step 2: Create a Custom Sidebar<\/h5>\n

    If you want to create a custom sidebar instead of using the default ones, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. In the Widgets section, locate the Sidebar Generator<\/strong> tool (highlighted in the red rectangle in the image above).<\/li>\n
    2. Enter a name for your new sidebar (e.g., “Custom Sidebar for Pages”), then click the Add Widget Area<\/strong> button to create it.<\/li>\n
    3. Drag and drop the widgets from the left side into your newly created sidebar.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Step 3: Assign the Sidebar to a Page Using the Theme’s Page Builder<\/h5>\n
        \n
      • Create a New Page<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Begin by adding a new page in your WordPress dashboard.<\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        • Set the Page Name and Choose the Template<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Enter a name for your page and select the “Pagebuilder” template from the available options.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          \"\"<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          • Access the Pagebuilder Panel<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Once you select the “Pagebuilder” template, the Pagebuilder Panel will appear, displaying various options for customization.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            \"\"<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Add a Has Sidebar Section to the Page <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Once you add the Has Sidebar<\/strong> section to the page, expand its settings panel. On the right side, you\u2019ll find options to select a sidebar and another option to choose its position, as highlighted in the image below.<\/p>\n

              \"\"<\/p>\n

              After selecting your sidebar and its position, be sure to save the page for the changes to take effect.<\/p>\n
