Custom Sidebars on Custom Taxonomy Archive Page

    Hello there,

    I’m using Genesis Framework with Child theme.

    I’ve created custom post type + custom taxonomies.

    In the custom taxonomy archive page edit screen there is no option to select custom sidebar.

    Should I create “taxonomy-name.php” page and hardcode sidebars there? If so, how do I do that?

    I want to use “sidebar-content-sidebar” layout.

    First sidebar called “Secondary Sidebar” (don’t know slug), and second called “Primary Sidebar”

    What code do I need to put into that “taxonomy-name.php” page to assign sidebar with name “1” to the “Secondary Sidebar” area and sidebar with name “2” to the “Primary Sidebar” area?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Hello @olegsegal and @melanie-van-oers

    Happy New Year.

    My apologies for the delay in this thread,

    I had a chat with the developer about this. You will need to create new taxonomy-my_taxonomy.php file, and paste inside the content from the archive.php file of your theme.

    Make sure that the new my_taxonomy.php file contains the get_sidebar(); function.

    Let me know if you have any further questions!

    Kind regards,
    Nastia

    Privet Nastia,

    But how do I assign sidebar with name “1” to the “Secondary Sidebar” area and sidebar with name “2” to the “Primary Sidebar” area?

    Please give some examples of implementing get_sidebar(); function in this case

    Thank you!

    Hello @olegsegal,

    I had a feedback from a developer about this.

    You need to add a custom taxonomy listing_category in a theme’s archive template. In this example add this code
    <?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ) ) { ?> <div class="widget-column footer-widget-1"> <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ); ?> </div> <?php } ?>
    to a custom taxonomy template taxonomy_listing_category.php. You can download an example of taxonomy_listing_category.php file from here. It’s basicly an archive template from Twenty Seventeen theme with the above code inside.

    Let me know if you have any further questions!

    Kind regards,
    Nastia
