Ok, We've got the blog done. "Now" the client decides they only want a sidebar on one page of the entire blog. Not an issue, right? Comment out not redo; but then low and behold let's JUST make a blog page and put the sidebar with the widgets on that section. Who has ideas?

I think you should add a new page template with sidebar and assign that new page template to the page where you need to show sidebar.

Depending on what you are building your site in, this can be quite simple. For example, Joomla lets you choose a different template per page. So you can just switch templates, by choosing the different menu links.

Alternatively, you could develop your site completely without a sidebar and add it in as either DIV tags or a table on the page you need it. That might be the easiest way for you if you only need it on one page.

If you only want a sidebar on the blog page, put this code at the very top of your sidebar1.php (and sidebar2.php in you have one)...


<?php global $post;
if ( is_home() )
{ ?>


Then put this at the very end of the sidebar file...


<?php } else ;?>


Now the sidebar will only show up on which ever page contains the blog. You can also include stuff after the final piece of code from above and it will be shown on every page but the blog.

I believe this post is similar to my situation or opposite, so I wasn't sure if I should start a new one. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I created an Artisteer Wordpress website with one column. The website is on Wordpress. Now I realize I need one sidebar on the right side of the Home page only . And, I do not want the sidebar to extend to the top of the Home page.

My site is not 'live' yet, so I do not have a link to provide. Also, I am not an expert in CSS. However, coming down from the top of the Home page is the Header, Menu, Welcome Image and Slider. I need the sidebar to start on the right side of the website page below the Slider. Is this possible? Can anyone help? Thank you in advance!

Yes, you need to open your .artx file in Artisteer 4.0 version and export the theme again.

No, Artisteer 4 doesn't support this layout.

@ Doug,
I use side bard that don't go all the way to the top but to make this happen, I bought Templateer which you've surely heard about?

Templateer gives you more areas to put your widgets in and thus, you can lose that template look and get creative.

One of my sites, http://prepiano.com uses this on the main HOME page as well as on the blog ARTICLES page.
On both pages, the sidebars don't start at the top.

I design a lot of websites and adding Templateer made a big difference to my work.

Have fun,
E R :-)
