[Resolved] Sections Add-On

[Alejandra Arango]

Hi Tom!

I have been waiting for the release, is it ready?

Sections and side bar will be awesome!

Thank you!

[Tom]

Not yet.

To activate sidebars with the Sections, see this post: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/sections-add-on/page/2/#post-153836

I have tried adding that code inside php, inside every page by adding tags, using code snippets’ plugin… but still doesn’t work

Is there a special way to insert the code?

[Tom]

Should work using these instructions: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/adding-php-functions/

Then if the page is set to have a sidebar, it should display.

Make sure you’re using the latest version.

Still doesn’t work :'(

I have latest version of every plugin or theme and side bar widget selected for that page

I installed Simple PHP and also tried in Code Snippets

@aleharu For me sidebars in sections works.

[Tom]

Just confirmed that it’s working on this end as well.

Hi Tom,

Sorry to bother you with this… I think it is very ieasy but I miss something 🙂

Just recently started playing with your theme (locally for now) and full GP Premium and now working on sections as well. I as well try to get a right side menu and have seen this topic where you mention you can activate sidemenus by using this code:

add_filter( 'generate_sections_sidebars','generate_enable_sections_sidebars' ); function generate_enable_sections_sidebars() { return true; }

I am sorry to ask but I have no idea where to put this code to get it activated. I tried it in GP hooks but no succes.

“issue” I have at the moment is that when creating a post sections set to off, I am able to make changes to the sidebar layout section but that functionality (menu) disappears when activating sections.

“EDIT”
Maybe it helps if you have the version of the theme and plugins I am using now:
1. theme is version: 1.3.28
2. plugins are version: 1.2.81

PS. I really do like your theme and plugins up to now! Although I think it will take some time before i have seen everything that is possible as it is that much in the apckage you get 😉

Hi there,

Glad you’re enjoying the theme!

You can add that code using the instructions found here: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/adding-php-functions/

Let me know if you need more info 🙂

Hi Tom,

Nope it is working perfect now that I have manually added a plugin. Thanks for the fast response!

[Tom]

No problem 🙂

Hi Tom,

Two suggestions about having a sidebar with sections.
1- Like on a posts page the posts list goes across the screen until the sidebar.
2- Like in the Lightweight column widget you can select ‘last in row’. I suggest in the sections that you put an option to tick ‘last section’ so you can have some pretty sections at the top then have posts and sidebar below the sections on the same page.

Hi there,

1. That looks like there’s no content/widget padding causing the two to touch.

2. So you’re wanting Sections on top, and then regular content/sidebar below them?

[Nicholas]

2- yes please. Similar to how some sites have a landing mat and then scrolling down to the regular content.

[Tom]

Hmm, been thinking about this – not sure it’s possible with the way Sections work.

You can place one section above your blog post using the Page Header add-on, but that’s the limit right now.
