Widget Sidebar

Your theme includes powerful Sidebar and Widget options that let you display extra content areas like recent posts, search, categories, ads, or any custom widgets. You can add these widgets to your sidebar or other widget-ready areas.

How to Add Widgets to the Sidebar

1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard → Appearance → Widgets.
2. On the left, you’ll see the Available Widgets (Search, Categories, Recent Posts, Custom HTML, etc.).
3. On the right, you’ll see the Sidebar area(s) and other widget-ready areas provided by the theme (e.g., Footer, Blog Sidebar, Shop Sidebar).
4. Drag and drop your chosen widget into the Sidebar area.
5. Configure the widget settings (title, number of posts, categories, etc.) and click Save.
