Sidebar

Hi there,

It will definitely take some work to build something like that.

I would recommend using the block element with GenerateBlocks:

The grid blocks should help to build the two columns layout.

Then you can use either the headline or button block to insert the icon if you have SVG icons available:

https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/buttons-overview/#icon

And then for the post slider, you will need to find a plugin for that.

If you can link me to the example in question, I can take a look to see if they are using any plugins.

Site link for checking out the plugin.

Hi there,

that is custom developed for that site it even has its own font icons.
Leo's other suggestions would be a viable method or it would require custom development.

Thanks David and Leo.

No problem :)

Hi Guys,

I found the same on another site. There must be easy way to do it ?
Someone asked a question with their website name in Private box with Screenshot.
Can you please advise as its also a GeneratePress Theme

That is is using custom coding. I don't think it's easier than the method I suggested above.

If you right-click on the element, then you can see the HTML and CSS involved:

I am trying to create this layout using Generate Blocks but when i tried to create it and selected Right Sidebar this says "This will remove the current sidebar widgets for the selected sidebar. Your layout must have a sidebar set for this Element to show."

I want to keep the other widgets and add this block into the sidebar. Is it possible ? I hope this make sense.

For now the only thing you can do with the Block Element is to set it to Hook and set it to generate_before_right_sidebar or generate_after_right_sidebar - so it can be either at the Top or the Bottom only.

Thanks, but is it not possible to place it at my desired position. Let's say after my first block of sidebar widget ?

Looks like David has answered that question in the previous reply?

Hi guys, Not sure why but i am trying to create what has been suggested by Leo. You can see that in a screenshot link in private info box. The issue is when i am created it in editor the icons are looking aligned and when i look at the actual page the icons are not in order in second row. I am using GenerateBlocks 2 column layout for creating this.

You want to create a 4 column grid, then select each grid item and set its Desktop Width to 50%. This will create a 2 x 2 grid. This will allow you to keep those 2nd row elements aligned.

Thanks David. I want to create 2x3 (2 columns and 3 rows). I have divided the Grid to 50% layout only. Is there any padding option for adjustment to align these.
