Hi,

Just log in via FTP to your site in wp-content/themes/kleo-child/ and create a file named sidebar.php and paste the next code in it

COPY CODE

<?php
/**
 * The Sidebar containing the main widget area
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Kleo
 * @since Kleo 1.0
 */
?>
<?php
$sidebar_classes = apply_filters( 'kleo_sidebar_classes', '' );
$sidebar_name = apply_filters( 'kleo_sidebar_name', '0' );
?>

<?php
	if( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/blog/') {
		get_sidebar('nice-bar');
	}
?>

<div class="sidebar sidebar-main <?php echo $sidebar_classes; ?>">
	<div class="inner-content widgets-container">
		<?php
		if( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/blog/') {
			get_sidebar('BLOG-sidebar');
		}
		?>
	</div><!--end inner-content-->
</div><!--end sidebar-->

<div class="sidebar sidebar-main <?php echo $sidebar_classes; ?>">
	<div class="inner-content widgets-container">
		<?php generated_dynamic_sidebar( $sidebar_name );?>
	</div><!--end inner-content-->
</div><!--end sidebar-->

NOTE : Child theme needs to be installed and activated.

Let me know
Cheers

Hello Radu, OK I did what you said above but when I activated the child theme, my website’s layout was all different. I imagine that both the Kleo and Kleo child themes cannot be active at the same time? Thanks, Linda

[Radu]

Hi,

The Kleo Child theme has separate theme options, so if you made changes in Child theme options they are used only when activate the theme, and the same principle for Kleo theme ( Parent theme ).

You can export theme settings from parent theme and import them to child theme then the site should look the same

You can save the theme options by navigating to : Wp-admin->theme options -> import/export -> download data file and also can be imported in same way after activating Kleo Child theme by choosing importing option.

Then apply the code to functions.php file

Hi Radu,

Are the widgets and sidebars also saved when you export the theme settings?

Thank you,
Linda

[Radu]

No, they are handled by the wordpress, you can take a look here : http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-importexport-widget-settings-in-wordpress/

Hi Radu,

The plugin worked great – thanks for pointing that out to me! Also you can close the ticket. I’m not sure if you added the php code above (I never did) but for some reason when I went into my BLOG page today, I was able to select my custom blog-sidebar : )

Thanks again,
Linda
