Hello,
I wanted my blog to have two sidebars, left AND right so I started using advanced layout editor with a 3/5 element and two 1/5 elements on either side to act as a sidebar area.
I hace two questions:
#1 Is there a good plugin to make the 1/5 elements stick to the top of the page like the enfold sticky header? I have seen a few plugins that make sidebars sticky but these aren’t actual sidebars. I am just using the 1/5 elements to use them as sidebars. Thanks!
#2 Since I am using the 3/5 element to drop my blog posts into, each blog post is automatically showing up on my website as a “read more” post with an excerpt instead of showing full content like I told it to. However, I think this is happening becasue I am also using advanced layout editor to write my blog posts because I am adding extra elements within the posts as well. I am not sure how to make the posts show it’s full content on my page.

Thanks so much!
Hi EricMarks!
1. I’ve used this before, https://wordpress.org/plugins/q2w3-fixed-widget/, but it was a little twitchy which I did not like so I ended up just setting the sidebar to fixed position. I can do that on my end because my sidebar is small and it fits up next to the header. For your site though I do not think it will work because your “sidebars” have lots of content in them and there is also a large slider at the top of the page.
2. You will need to create custom excerpts when editing your posts. If you do not see the excerpt field when editing your post then click on “Screen Options” in the top right hand section of your screen and check it to display.
Regards,
Elliott
