Kadence Theme Sidebar

This tutorial hopefully will help you to understand Kadence theme sidebar, especially for my themes. The video example might be using a different theme from what you purchase but basically, the method is the same.

Editing Sidebar Content

Kadence is using Block Editor. To edit the sidebar (add or remove widgets / change pictures and text), go to Appearance > Widgets to edit the widget or Appearance > Customize > Widgets.

Copy Sidebar content to a column or page

With block widgets, you can copy the block from one page to another.

If you have already done editing your widgets in a static page (“Homepage“), go to Pages > All Pages > select “Homepage” page > click edit the page.

Copy all the sidebar content (see video bellow for a tutorial on how to copy WordPress block from one page to another).

After you’re done editing, go to Appearance > Widget, and paste the content you have copied to Sidebar 1.

See the video for more detail.

You can also do your sidebar first and copy the content from Sidebar widgets (Appearance > Widgets > Sidebar 1) to your Homepage Page (Pages > select “Homepage”). Feel free to do it in any order, whichever you prefer.

Adding Sidebar to your page

You can have a sidebar for specific pages or posts. To add sidebar to your page/post, when you’re editing the page/post, click the page settings, see the image below for instructions.

Remove sidebar from all pages

To remove the sidebar from all pages completely, go to Appearance> Customize > Post / Pages layout. You will see 3 tabs here :

  • Page layout
  • Single Post Layout
  • Archive layout

Click one by one and make sure the Layout is set to “Normal”.

This method will not work if you assign a specific page to have “sidebar” layout, you have to edit the page manually to “default”.
