Awesome theme. I am using it for couple of websites (1 free, 1 paid)

I have a catch box pro. trying to find out that how I can I use different optional sidebars and footer on different pages and posts. I want main sidebar unchanged on all the pages but optional sidebars should appear on whatever post or page I want! is it possible? If yes please guide. If no please guide how can I use optional sidebars in that case.

Just to share, I did send this question through contact page as well not able to navigate to this page.

@subodhcsharma: Hello Subodh, We have 13 different sidebars in Catch Box Pro Theme. So, you question is about the Main Sidebar and Footer Sidebar.
1. Main Sidebar:
This is the main sidebar which works as default sidebar, which loads on overall site.
But we have option to replace the main sidebar with
1.1 Homepage Sidebar: Which replaces the “Main” sidebar in Homepage
1.2 Archive Sidebar: Which replaces the “Main” sidebar in Archive
1.3 Page Sidebar: Which replaces the “Main” sidebar in all Page
1.4 Post Sidebar:Which replaces the “Main” sidebar in all Post
Further, we have Optional Sidebar One, Optional Sidebar Two and Optional Sidebar Three which is additional for any page or post. This gives you ability to choose between which sidebar to use in individual page and post. You can choose the sidebar in page and post from “Catch Box Options” box in your post and page. See this screenshot http://pinterest.com/pin/548594798329982875/

2. Footer Sidebar:
We have 3 footer sidebars: Footer Area One, Footer Area Two and Footer Area Three. Once you add widget in these sidebars, it will load through out the site. If you add widget only in Footer Area One then your footer sidebar will be 100%, then if you add widget in Footer Area One and Footer Area Two then your footer sidebar will be divided into 2 portions. Further, if you add widgets in Footer Area One, Footer Area Two and Footer Area Three, then your footer sidebar will be divided into 3 portions.

@Sakin,

First, Thank you for all of your help in the past.

But, I am having an issue with having a sidebar for my homepage and for my posts. My website is “trekkingitout.com”

I am utilizing the “Main Sidebar” widget for my home page…works great except when I attempt to utilize another sidebar widget for my posts.

I have tried using “Optional Sidebar One” by populating it in the widgets area and then having it selected in the post editor….yet it only makes the optional sidebar the main sidebar everywhere on my site.

I have then attempted to use the “Optional Post Sidebar.” Yet, when when I populate it, the sidebar does not appear next to my posts at all.

Any thoughts on how I cab resolve this?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

@mlw5137: Sorry I don’t understand. Can you tell me what are you trying to do it.

@Sakin: I’m having similar problems with widgets. Maybe my thread “Strange behaviour of widgets” explains the issue a bit more.
