 * Hi,
 * In the widgets section there is only one main sidebar, and a shop sidebar.
 * However I would like to have different sidebars for my posts and for archive 
   pages.
 * How to add a new sidebar and associate it with archives ?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello [@mxlaxe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mxlaxe/) ,
 * Thank you for choosing Neve!
 * Neve natively offers 2 sidebars (main and shop) like you mentioned.
 * What you want to do is achievable by creating a child theme and applying custom
   code modifications to it until you get the desired result. Here is our documentation
   for how to create a child theme for Neve [https://docs.themeisle.com/article/985-how-to-create-a-child-theme-for-neve](https://docs.themeisle.com/article/985-how-to-create-a-child-theme-for-neve)
 * Thank you and happy building!

 * Thank you,
 * Actually I’m already using a child theme, however this does not explain how to
   setup a custom sidebar on an archive page.
 * Any thoughts on this ?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi, Mxlaxe, I’m another user of the Neve theme.
 * You can either add sidebars using plugins or through custom code.
 * If you want to add side bars using a plugin, here is a plugin for that:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sidebars/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sidebars/)
 * Otherwise, if you were comfortable developing with PHP, here is a link to the
   WordPress developer documentation for sidebars: [https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/functionality/sidebars/](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/functionality/sidebars/)

 * Thank you [@plantprogrammer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plantprogrammer/),
   will look into that!
 * [@mateithemeisle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mateithemeisle/) It would
   be great however to have the option (from the theme’s options) to choose which
   sidebar to display for a specific post type or archive.
