If you edit the Page for each Category (Dashboard>Pages>Edit), there is a Panel on top right which sets the Layout Options. So select Right Sidebar.
Or did I miss something?
I actually wasn’t sure how to set up a categories page, so I was using a plugin called List Category Posts (with short codes on pages, which did have the layout I want). But then I stumbled upon the urls of the categories pages, and have been forwarding the URLs to those pages. But I don’t know where in the dashboard/theme I can change the layout of those pages. Am I missing something?
Maybe you mean modifying the custom page template for category archives ?
@afj, Czr does not use a traditional page template as in some other Themes. The templates are editable but it is not the recommended way to do it. Czr uses Hooks and Filters through a child theme functions.php as the preferred approach.
@mchristian, if you set up a blank page for each Category you need, then add a Menu item and use the Category panel in Appearance>Menus. If you don’t see it, open up Screen Options and check the Category checkbox.
@ redellconsulting, sorry, I’m not sure how that would work. Could you be a little more detailed? I just create a blank page for each category, and then add each page to a menu? Or each category to a menu? Sorry if I’m being a bit dense, I’m not super experienced with WordPress. I’ve got each category page as a home featured page, but I’d like the layout of each to only have a sidebar on the right—not on both sides.
Here’s a screenshot showing how to create a menu item for a Category.
Just setting this up will allow you to show a filtered list of Posts with that Category.
You can edit the blank Category page and set Layout however you want.
This snippet‘s second example shows you how to do this just for category pages.
