[Resolved] Add widget after content?

[Edin]

I had something in my functions.php of my old theme “Divi”, that added a widget named “Single Post Sidebar” after the main content.

function wpc_et_widgets_init() {
    register_sidebar( array(
        'name' => esc_html__( 'Single Post Sidebar', 'Divi' ),
        'id' => 'sidebar-6',
        'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="wpc-widget et_pb_widget %2$s">',
        'after_widget' => '</div> <!-- end .et_pb_widget -->',
        'before_title' => '<h4 class="widgettitle">',
        'after_title' => '</h4>',
    ) );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'wpc_et_widgets_init' );

How can I do that in GeneratePress?

Thanks,
Edin

That code simply registers the widget area – it won’t display it.

You would need to use this function to display the widget area on the frontend of the site: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/dynamic_sidebar

Got it, thanks!

Where do I put the php-snipped to display the content? Can I put it in the “GP Hooks” somewhere, or do I have to put a single.php in my child-theme folder and put the snippet somewhere in there?

I want to display it right after every single post.

GP Hooks would be the preferable place to put it.

You could do this:

<?php if ( is_single() ) : ?>
    Your widgets in here
<?php endif; ?>

Make sure to check “Execute PHP” as well 🙂

Thank you, that worked great.

How do I get rid of the category and the links to the previous/next articles output that’s been generated below each article?

Thanks again!

Ah, got it, removed it in the customizer.

Awesome – glad I could help! 🙂
