Page Sidebar for Twenty Seventeen

Twenty Seventeen is the official WordPress theme in 2017 and it’s really awesome, but unfortunately it has no way to display a sidebar on pages 🙁 Let’s fix that.

Sidebar on all the pages

This tiny plugin will add the default sidebar to all the pages, including the front page! You don’t have to touch a single line of code, and it works for Twenty Seventeen child themes too.

For best results, go to Customize > Theme Options and set Page Layout to One Column .

Sidebar on individual pages

If you want your page sidebar to differ from your post sidebar, it is recommended to also install Content Aware Sidebars in addition to this plugin. That will allow you to show and hide widget areas on a wide range of conditions, giving you complete control over your sidebar.

1. 01Navigate to ‘Plugins > Add New’
2. 02Search for ‘page sidebar for twentyseventeen’
3. 03Install and activate the plugin
4. 04That’s it! Sidebar will now be displayed on all pages

Will this plugin work with my theme?

This plugin only works for the Twenty Seventeen theme and its child themes. Try installing it while using another theme, and you’ll see it do… nothing at all.

How to show/hide a different sidebar on pages?

This plugin adds the default sidebar to all pages. If you want to display or hide different sidebars on different pages, we recommend installing Content Aware Sidebars as well.

Sidebar is not displayed on the front page?

Due to limitations in the theme, the front page sidebar will not be displayed if using the Front Page Sections feature.

Is it possible to move sidebar to the left?

Not with this plugin, it simply adds the Blog Sidebar to all pages.
