How to add a Wordpress sidebar to the listing page

Hi,

We use Hivepress for listing things and in this case it is the lost pets section.

Here is the page - no it isn’t because this system won’t let me add a link into my post so I have posted it below in a separate post

Simply all I want to do is to put the right sidebar which shows up on the home page and everywhere else on website onto the listing page.

I have been playing with Hivepress templates but I have no idea how to do this.

Can you please help?

Hi,

Could you please clarify if you’ve customized the template? By default, there should be a sidebar present. For example, on the demo site Real Estate – ListingHive, there’s a left sidebar by default with the filter form and widgets (which can be added in the Listings area in Appearance > Customize, they’ll appear below the form).

It’s possible that you’ve overridden the Listings page in HivePress > Templates, as the default layout definitely includes a left sidebar (and this layout is independent of the theme, unless of course the theme you’re using explicitly customizes HivePress layouts).

I definitely have a template set up for that page because I need the layout in a certain way and have some control over the layout. In fact, I haven’t finished modifying the template yet.

So is it possible to add the sidebar by editing the template?

Another possibility I was thinking about is having the listing display as a page.

Maybe you could advise me on how to best achieve this.

Thanks, Bear.

Yes, you can customize templates. Please follow this guide: How to customize templates - HivePress Help Center.

Could you please clarify what you mean by “the listing displays as a page”? As all listings have their own dedicated page, once you select it from the listings page, it will open.
