Twenty Seventeen is the official WordPress theme in 2017 and it’s really awesome, but unfortunately it has no way to display a sidebar on pages 🙁
Let’s fix that.
This tiny plugin will add the default sidebar to all the pages, including the front page! You don’t have to touch a single line of code, and it works for Twenty Seventeen child themes too.
For best results, go to Customize > Theme Options and set Page Layout to One Column.
If you want your page sidebar to differ from your post sidebar, it is recommended to also install Content Aware Sidebars in addition to this plugin. That will allow you to show and hide widget areas on a wide range of conditions, giving you complete control over your sidebar.
Works perfectly. Twentyseventeen is a great theme for its clean layout. This plugin extends design continuity between posts and pages. i also use “Category Tag Pages” plugin. “Page Sidebar for Twenty Seventeen” would be even better if it created a “article footer.entry-footer” slot for page taxonomy.
I tried the directions: Go to customize-theme options-=page layout one- but nothing works.
Works like a charm easy to use, just what I needed.
Thanks!
Couldn’t be easier to add a sidebar to Twenty Seventeen.
Only on the right hand side, though, but that’s fine with me.
And not on the home page if it’s static, but that’s what I wanted anyway.
And for jue_mue who said it’s not working, it’s probably working but empty. You have to add a widget to the sidebar or it won’t appear.
Sorry, does not show anything…
