How Do I Add Sidebars on Pages?

Hello Diannichols,

Thanks for the question about adding Sidebars.  Unfortunately, adding sidebars to the theme would require custom coding.  We do not have a direct solution for you short of customizing the theme by changing the code and design of the theme.  Sidebars are used in this theme only in the posts.  This is due to responsive design considerations for this theme.

You can add Gridblocks that provide a column, but not a sidebar.  You may also consider creating custom grid blocks which may provide you the format that you seek. You can select other themes such as the Monument theme which does have a sidebar constructed with the theme.  Apologies that this does not directly provide you the answer you have requested, but hopefully the alternative options provides you a solution for your needs.

Regards,

Arnel C.

Hello Diananichols,

Modifying the theme in Boldgrid is a little different in that it’s designed to be responsive for three different states (to simplify – small, medium, and large).  You will need to account for each size so that your changes shift with the change in screen size.  BoldGrid uses the BootStrap grid system. You can also use the advanced editor option to edit the website and associated files.  You are welcome to create a Child theme, though the changes made in the Advanced editors will not change with the each theme update.  And yes, themes are regularly updated.

If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know.
