Custom Sidebar for front page

    Hello,

    I’m using the plugin ‘Custom Sidebars’ for managing my sidebars. I created a new sidebar which I want to assign to my front page but it doesn’t work. The default sidebar of the theme is always shown there. On other pages / posts everything works fine, the problem seems to occur only with the front page.

    With other themes it works (get_sidebar()) so I would say this is a ‘theme problem’. I tried to change some code in index.php file but without success.

    Can you help me, please?

    Best regards
    saNNNy

  • Hi Sanny,

    You will need to customize the theme for this. You can also consult with a developer.

    Thanks!

    Yes, but how can I customize the theme so that I can use a custom sidebar on front page?

    I tried to replace get_sidebar(); in index.php with dynamic_sidebar();. This works for the sidebar itsself but not for the correct styling. Does someone know what I need to add? cs-6 is the id of my custom sidebar.

    $class_to_add = 'col-md-offset-1';
					
if(is_active_sidebar('cs-6')) { ?>
  <div class="col-md-3 blog-sidebar-wrapper <?php echo esc_attr( $class_to_add ); ?>">
    <aside id="secondary" class="blog-sidebar" role="complementary">
      <?php dynamic_sidebar('cs-6'); ?>
    </aside>
  </div>
<?php
}
