Move Widgets Above Blog Archive Content
7 replies · Started by Becky on April 2, 2020
I would like to move the categories and search bar above the post content on the blog archives page. Currently there are only left/right/no sidebar options. Is this possible to do?
Hi there,
Give this CSS a shot:
@media (max-width: 768px) {
.site-content {
display: flex;
flex-flow: row wrap;
}
#right-sidebar {
order: 1;
}
.content-area {
order: 2;
}
}

Let me know if this helps :)
Hmmm, no luck with that CSS...
Not seeing it being added at all.
Can you double-check? Make sure to clear caching plugins if you are using any and leave the CSS in even if it's not working.
Oh whoops! Yeah I deleted the CSS after inspecting. Just re-added, and realized I did not check on mobile. I see it works on mobile! Any way to achieve the same for larger screens? If possible, I am trying to have the categories aligned left to right versus vertically. Thank you for your help!
If you also want it for the desktop view, then I would recommend using a plugin like this:

Then you can insert the widgets as shortcode using a hook element with after_header hook:

Then you'd still need to add some CSS to style it so they are in one line.
Another solution is to use the secondary navigation to display all the categories:

Great, I will check out those options. Thank you!
No problem :)
