Widgets & Custom Widget Areas

We would recommend enabling the Classic Widgets Panel via Theme Options > General.

You can create additional sidebars to add your own content and functionality, or to use different sidebars on different pages/posts. Navigate to  Appearance > Widgets. Fill in the Custom Sidebar title and press the Add Sidebar button.

Place necessary widgets into the newly created sidebar. Then, create your page ( Pages > Add New), and on the right side of the 8theme Layout Options choose Sidebar Position, the required Sidebar Width, and the desired Widget Area.

Main sidebar – Default sidebar for all pages and posts. 
Left side top bar area – Sidebar that appears at the left side of the top bar. You can use it for the language switcher, for share buttons, or a tel number.
