I am trying to add a custom sidebar to be on the single page while the entire site uses the custom sidebar. I am creating it with WP visual tools and assign the custom sidebar to the page i need however it shows as disabled. Plese let me know if i am doing something wrong. I searched forums for a while and saw that some people enable their custom sidebars by modifying code. It looks to me like it can be done with visual editor (like i did below) plus i have no access to the server.
I create a new sidebar for my theme
I go to widgets and set up a picture to my widget
then i assign the sidebar to the desired page
after if i go back to widgets it shows me that custom sidebar has nothing in it and that its disabled bc its not used anywhere on the site
The problem was, that when creating a sidebar, I did not enter anything for the slug (thinking it was not necessary). Creating a value for a slug resolved the problem

Bit of an issue I'm having with the WooCommerce plugin on WP.
When installed, it points to a default store page (changeable to other pages). However, whichever page it points to is completely blank in the WP editor, but has assets like a sidebar and product menu when previewed/published.
This is somewhat editable within WooCommerce's customise tab in WP. You can add/remove sidebar.

However, I cannot for the life of me remove the product menu from the page because the editor shows a blank page, but WC is adding in its default assets. Its default assets would be fine, if it wasn't for the typo in the sidebar. 'Brows by categories' instead of 'Browse by categories' is utterly infuriating.

I could remove the store page entirely, but I want to run it in catalog mode which removes 'add to cart' and everything that goes with it.
The aim of the page is to essentially show products available in store, with all the details like a store page, but without the purchasing functionality.
So far I've tried:
Uninstalling and reinstalling plugin
Editing HTML on the page (nothing shows just like the edit page)
Removing default store page (this disables catalog mode, the plugin I need)
I wouldn't be against ditching WooCommerce if I was able to setup a product catalog by other means. WooCommerce' system would be so good if it weren't for that ruddy typo!!
Any help would be incredibly appreciated. Thanks
Woocommerce is fullly customizable, it has a lot of action/filter which you can hook into to edit things or just overwrite his template file by simply copying them into your theme main directory inside the "woocommerce" folder (if you don't have it already, simply create it).
After you created that directory you can copy any file from the /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates directory and just make it become w/e you want =)
You can create a personalized shopping page with the elementor plugin.
Working with elementor is very simple and you can get the result you want with a simple Google search.
I hope I could help.
Asking what the title says. I made a plugin where the Title, Date and Link is automatically added on a new Elementor Page. I only want one section of the page to be edited by a user with no admin privileges, is it possible?
If you look at the screenshot, the content containing "Researchers and Industrial Leaders..." is the only one I need to be able to get edited.
If you're familiar with ACF or JetEngine you could dynamically connect that section to an editable section in the dashboard... that way your user stays out of Elementor but can edit sections on the site.
That's how I do it.
I want to create a custom page template in WordPress which shows Image Slideshow and then a video below it and finally some text - till now what I am able to do is play with sidebar, footer, header.
I can either remove them or keep them in my custom page templates but what I want to do is play with the page contents.
The Admin user should be able to see these sections in the Page Editor (WYSIWYG) when they choose the Template from the drop-down, so that they can accordingly add the correct content in correct place holders
Something like the attached screen-shot is showing
Is this possible in WordPress
Yes! It's possible to implement this! you can use https://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431 or https://wordpress.org/plugins/siteorigin-panels/ plugin.
The first plugin allows you to create different page layout and save it. It also allows admin to choose page layout that admin has saved previously.
The second page builder plugin allows you to create template same way and allows admin to clone one page layout to another one.
Hope this will help you!
I have created one website by WordPress. I have one sidebar that I want apply to several pages. I read a lot of tutorials but I could not find any solutions? How can I do this??
Solution 1
Modify your theme - create custom page template and register new sidebar. It's pretty well documented on WordPress.org
Page templates
Sidebars
Solution 2
If you are not WP developer, this is simper and more user friendly solution for you.
Install Widget Logic plugin.
Add widgets to sidebar via WordPress administration.
Click on widget and specify conditions. For example you can restrict displaying of widget for pages in specific category: is_category(array(5,9,10,11))
For more condition examples read Widget Logic - Other notes section
If you are using avada theme you don't need to do anything, there is already option available for selecting sidebar on any page, so you can choose one sidebar for many page you wish.
If you didn't find Fusion Page Options in edit page screen than you have check your screen options.
I am a newbie in wordpress and I was given the opportunity to edit a certain plugin which is MarketPress, but then I had hard times dealing with it since I'm new to this thing and I don't know where exactly to go, I would want to edit an included dynamic_sidebar but I can't the file on where to edit this. Please help me. :(
Thanks.
Not sure of your level of understanding so forgive me if this is over-simplistic.
The sidebar content is driven by widgets, which is controlled from the Widgets admin panel. The only thing about a sidebar that you should be able to edit by messing with its definition are the wrapping markup for the whole widget and for the title, along with the sidebars name and description. The last two only effect text that shows up in the admin Widgets panel.
However what I describe above is not found with the dynamic_sidebar() method, rather with the register_sidebar() or register_sidebars() methods. These 'define' the name and settings for a sidebar. The dynamic_sidebar() method is the used to implement the sidebar by passing it that sidebars name.
The sidebar is then populated with widgets via the admin Widgets panel.
Typically sidebars are registered from within the functions.php file of a theme, but if a plugin contains templates there no reason why it couldn't also have its own sidebars. As for where the register_sidebar() function is being used in your plugin specifically, I couldn't say. Just search through it using whatever IDE you like, or grep if your comfortable with it.
Hope this helps.
