    I am trying to alternate a sidebar, I reviewed some basic tutorial video’s, attached screen shot. My dashboard does not show “sidebar” per the video.

    ugggh, I typed all this …no way to attached.

    Anyway, from my dashboard – Appearance – there is no sidebar to select, only Themes, customize, widgets, menu, header, theme editor.

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello,

    I didn’t understand it clearly. Do you want to change a sidebar or want to use a sidebar layout? Can you please explain it more?

    Hello, thank you for your reply. I want to use and change the sidebar.

    There is no settings, in my dashboard per the videos I have watched. In fact, I have looked in several places and there is no sidebar settings in the WP dashboard.

    Thank you for your help!

    Sidebars are under Appearance -> Widgets.

    Did you look there?

    @gaatl2008 what do you mean by changing the sidebar? Do you want to use a different sidebar? If yes, then go to Dashboard > Pages/posts > Edit a page/post > OceanWP settings metabox > Main tab and select a different sidebar.

    You can also use the below code to do it. Add the code to the child theme’s functions.php file to change the sidebar. Edit the sidebar it in the code. sidebar-2 is for the left sidebar – 

    function prefix_my_sidebar( $sidebar = 'sidebar' ) {
    if ( is_singular('post') ) {
        $sidebar = 'sidebar-2';
    }
    return $sidebar;
}
add_filter( 'ocean_get_sidebar', 'prefix_my_sidebar' );
