    Hi, there.
    I’m starting using XStore theme. I want to know what is the simplest way to add new sidebars to different pages. I found how to create static blocks and move them around using “appearance” >> “widgets”. But I don’t know if I’m on the right path here.

    I’m also having trouble placing this static blocks on desired places that don’t affect the design of the website. For example, I set it to appear on the right side and it showed on every single page on the top right side, even covering the banner on the homepage.

    Also, how can I customize these sidebars, so they are on brand?

    Hello,

    If you want to use different sidebars for different pages:

    1) Go to Appearance > Widgets > Custom Sidebar > add custom sidebar https://www.8theme.com/demo/docs/xstore/#theme_settings_45_widgets_amp_custom_widget_areas
    2) Add the necessary widgets
    3) Go to Pages > edit your page > scroll down and Choose custom widget area in 8theme Page options http://prntscr.com/cjplmq

    Shop page has its own sidebar – Shop sidebar. Blog page and Posts – Main sidebar.
    8theme brands don’t have special pages and use Shop sidebar.

    Regards
