  • Hi there,

    So this would be more quickly handled by switching to another theme that has the layout and widget areas you want. Changing Dyad to a layout like this is doable, but its also a bit involved.

    If you want to change Dyad, you’ll need to add a new widget area for the sidebar since the theme does not have one built in. The quickest way to do this would be to use a plugin that adds widget areas:

    If the plugin requires you to paste some code into the theme files, you will need to create a child theme so that your changes aren’t lost when the theme is updated.

    If you’re new to child themes, here are some resources to help:

    If you’d like to go the manual route of adding a widget area, you’ll find some information on that here:

    You can make all of the changes to Dyad there in the child theme.

    Once you have the widget area active on your site let me know. I can check the site to help you with the necessary CSS to make the post content aligned to the left.

    Thanks for the answer David.

    I created a child theme, but I can’t find a plugin which supports what I want. I want to create a widget area on the right side and align my content on the left, but the text, images and titles should stay center ( I would also like to know how to align the complete content on the left, including text, images and titles to see what looks better), similar to the link i posted.

    About 3/4 are content and on the right 1/4 of the page contains ads. Do you know a plugin for that?

    Thanks and here is the link to my site: https://miosuperhealth.com

    I still need help. Anyone available?

    Hi again,

    So the plugin you’re looking for should simply let you add a sidebar. The rest of the customization (aligning/sizing) can be done through CSS, which I can help with here after you have the sidebar added.

    Could you try some of the plugins from the search I linked to in my earlier reply? They may not all require a child theme, but some may. Once you have the sidebar active on the site, I can help with the CSS part.

    If you need help getting the plugin to work, you’ll want to post in that plugin’s support forum so that the community/developers there can assist you with getting that part completed. After the sidebar is up and running on the site, let me know and I’ll assist you with the CSS part.
