    Hi Guys,

    I can not figure out where I could create a new sidebar.

    Currently I can only choose between primary and secondary sidebar.

    But I would also like to have specific sidebars which are fitting perfectly to the content of my blog posts.

    As you can see here on this blog post:

    http://bit.ly/2cwUDCZ

    The sidebar is primary sidebar, but I would like to create a new sidebar.

    How could I do this?

    Thank you

    Karsten

  • Hi,

    You can use the widget zone feature of Hueman Theme.

    Please refer to this documentation.

    Thank you

    hallo Karsten; wie gehts? The theme has the option of adding custom sidebars and there is the capability to use them on pages. But I don’t see a way to use them on a per-post basis. I’ll poke around a bit more but you may be better off looking at a plugin like these:

    Hi Denzel,

    thank you for your reply and help.

    Unfortunately this is not what I am looking for.

    In the old version of the Hueman Theme it was possible to create as many sidebars as needed.This sidebars were visible in the design area of the backend where we now have only access to the primary and secondary sidebars and where we can not create new and unique sidebars.

    In the old version of the Hueman theme it was then possible to choose a specific sidebar in the post options of your blog posts.

    This feature of creating as many sidebars as needed was one of the big strengths of the old Hueman theme.

    My question to the new developers: Why did you kill this great feature? And when will you come back with this great feature?

    Thank you

    Karsten

    Hallo bd, danke, mir geht es gut. Wie geht es dir? alles gut?

    Thank you for your response and the links to the sidebar plugins.

    It is really very, very sad that we lost the possiblility to create specific sidebars directly in the theme as it was possible before the last big theme update.

    I hope the new developers read my comments above and will bring back the lost sidebars as soon as possible.

    Why should we use now one more plugin if this was not necessary before.

    Ein gute Zeit für Dich, bd brown.

    CU soon

    Karsten

    Mir geht es gut , aber ich bin stumm ; Ich vermisste die offensichtliche. The theme does, in fact, include custom sidebar selection for posts. I had forgotten to enable the Post Options in the Screen Options at the top of the edit screen. Ich brauche Urlaub!

    To create a new sidebar:
    Customize > Dynamic Sidebars and Widgets > Create and manage widget zones
    Add New +
    Name: Your Sidebar name
    Location(s): leave blank
    Add it
    Save & Publish
    The link that @denzel posted has more detailed instructions for reference.

    Go to Widgets and add widgets to the custom sidebar
    Save

    On the post edit screen ensure that Post Options are enabled, then select your new sidebars for that post.

    Hallo bd,

    vielen Dank für deine Hilfe. Ich bin jetzt sehr glücklich.
    Sidbar funktioniert sehr gut.

    Mir gefällt dieses Plugin:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-custom-sidebars/

    It helps to address sidebars to category posts. This is very helpful and not possible with our theme.

    So hopefuly the developers could add this feature in one of the next updates.

    Glad you found a solution. Hadn’t seen that plugin; looks like it’s easy to use and provides good functionality. Thanks for mentioning it.

    Danke für die Einladung. Ich möchte Deutschland eines Tages zu besuchen. Viel Glück mit Ihrer Website.
