How can I add a sidebar to frontpage template?

I need sidebar on homepage (frontpage template) near to news show pro module and it's not so easy. When I do it, the module wrong shows the posts. HELP!

Hi,

Where exactly the sidebar should be placed? Next to first header block with posts or near to "MOST RATED" News Show Pro widget and advert?

The best it will be near to 'what's new' (3 columns) and sidebar. I need menu with categories in a sidebar. It's absolutely needful:)

The What's new section is based on template frontpage and you can't add widgets (sidebar) there. Unfortunately this kind of customization is beyond our techcnial support, if you are interested I can recommend you a great customization service: https://tidycustoms.net/

Thank you so much for your help. The last question: how it works the module news show pro on frontpage. It's so complicated. I need 2 rows (and 4 columns with pagination) and system shows me 3 rows, despite I set up in the widget 2 rows.

Hi, which News Show Pro exactly? Because there are several instances on the TechNews frontpage.

I don't really understand because I can't see any difference between the options in this module in fronpage settings. Data source: categories, article wrapper: default, article format: none

Please check the documentation:

You should find the configuration of alll frontpage widgets.

I know this documentation and there's no nothing about 'whats new' module. I need 2 rows and with pagination and it's doesn't work. This frontpage settings should be more flexible...

What's new is not a module/widget - it's a section from template.frontpage and you can only select a source categories. If you wan to change amount of posts, please edit your template.frontpage.php file and change this fragment:

Code: Select all

$args_posts = array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'cat' => get_theme_mod('technews_filtered_categories', '')
);


to:

Code: Select all

$args_posts = array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'cat' => get_theme_mod('technews_filtered_categories', ''),
    'posts_per_page' => 8
);


Then you'll have 8 posts (2 rows)

Thank you so much! It works! But the last one thing: it doesn't work article pagination. I would like to have 3 pages with news on frontpage...

It requires more modifications - unfortunately beyond our technical support, I'll check the issue and maybe we'll add it as an improvement to next theme updates.
