In this tutorial we are going to demonstrate how to add a custom sidebar to be able to display different content for different pages.
- From your Dashboard go to the Genesis menu and click on ‘Simple Sidebars‘
- Once in the Simple Sidebars settings page use the left side form to add the name, ID and description and click ‘Add New Sidebar’
- Go to Appearance > Widgets and your recently added sidebar will be in the list of sidebars on the right section where you can add any of the available widgets and start adding your content:
- Once you have added content to your new sidebar, go back to the page you would like to display the side bar and go into edit mode. Once in edit mode you will see a section on the right side called ‘Sidebar Selection‘ with a drop down menu where you will see the sidebar you just created. Select your side bar then go back up click on ‘Preview Changes’ to preview or ‘Update/Publish’ to save your changes. Your new created sidebar and content will now be displaying on your page.
