    I get very confused with which widgets get displayed. I would like to create a sidebar for posts only with almost the same elements that are in the Displayed Everywhere widget. BUT I do not want it showing on the blog page itself. For that page I created custom sidebar widget. Now the blog page shows my custom sidebar along with the Displayed Everywhere sidebar.
    The posts will be added by the client so I want it as automatic as possible. so how do I create a sidebar that will display on all posts but NOT on the blog page?

    For the blog page I set the side bar to the following layout:
    Sidebar settings- Select desired page layout >Right sidebar
    Sidebar setting – Choose a custom sidebar for this entry>blog PAGE sidebar (that is my custom widget area)

    About

    ALSO, for the blog page, I would like a tutorial on configuring the blog post element… I am not familiar with all the options there. Also interested in custom blog page.

    Hey cagraphicdesign,

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    Use the Widget Logic plugin to control the widgets’ visibility.

    You’ll need these tags:

    Thanks Ismael
    I think I need to understand the widgets area before I go with that complicated plugin. I see “Display Everywhere” and “Side bar blog” and my Enfold custom widget area. Is there any Enfold documentation or video tutorials explaining these?

    Hey!

    The “Display Everywhere” widget area, as the name would suggest, is going to be displayed on any type of page along with the page-specific widget areas such Sidebar Blog, Sidebar Page etc, so avoid adding any page specific widgets there. The Sidebar Blog widget area will display on both the main blog page and the single post pages, so you have to use the Widget Logic plugin if you don’t want specific widgets to display on the blog overview page. You can use this conditional tag in the widget’s visibility field once the plugin is activated.

    HI Ismael
    While waiting for your response I was experimenting with the widgets and got the results I wanted without the plugin. I removed all the widgets from Display Everywhere. Then added the widgets I want to Sidebar Blog and widgets I want to Sidebar Pages. Is this just another way to do it or is there a caveat to this?
    Thanks for quick response.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the update, if that gets you the results you are after then I don’t see any problem with it.

    Best regards,
