Allow Sidebars with Sections
7 replies · Started by Kevyn on April 30, 2018
Hello,
I would like to add a sidebar on a specific page while using sections.
I see I have to add the PHP code: add_filter( 'generate_sections_sidebars','__return_true' );
I installed the Code Snippets plugin and almost done installing a Child Theme.
However, I do not understand where do I have to copy-paste this PHP code?
Thank you!

Hi there,
It would be in the child theme's function.php file.
I would like to add a sidebar on a specific page while using sections PHP code: add_filter( ‘generate_sections_sidebars’,’__return_true’ );
if it not a Child theme, where do I have to copy-paste this PHP code? Please help
Thank you!

Hi there,
if you're not using a Child Theme you can use the Code Snippets plugin:
Hi David, thanks for quick reply!
I have tried with Code Snippets, by adding new and pasting the php code as it is, but it not working on my site. Maybe I've missed something and need to write any function a part?
Please can you show me any example, or create and clone one so I could try?
Many thanks!

Hi David,

I have sidebars ON in layouts and snippets is enabled on whole site, but in the url im tryin to enable the section the sidebar not appears.
Please check this out here, where I'm have page with sections enabled: https://spainru.com/biznes-v-ispanii/
The Sidebar Layout is active and setup to show "Content/Sidebar" (basically I have this conf. by default, same for all sites & posts. Main page and all other have sidebar visible.
Examples

Snippet conf - https://imgur.com/a/ZyjPFxd
I'm really lost and not sure where is the fix. What else I could do to make it work?
Many thanks!
You may need the code to fire later. Try this:
add_action( 'wp', function() {
add_filter( 'generate_sections_sidebars', '__return_true' );
} );
