Your site’s sidebar can be easily changed and rearranged. The elements within your sidebar are known as “widgets”.
- Log in to your dashboard and go to Appearance > Widgets.
- This page is split into 3 areas:
- Available Widgets – The box on the left is a library of widgets available to put in your sidebar, with default settings.
- Inactive Widgets – Below ‘Available Widgets’ – you can drag widgets out of your sidebar and into the Inactive area to save the widget’s settings for later use.
- Active Widgets – The column on the right shows all of your current, active widgets. This column may be split into different groups, representing different widget areas on your site.
- Add, delete, and rearrange widgets by simple drag & drop.
- If the widget has additional settings, click the downward-pointing arrow on the widget to access them and click the blue Save button when you’re done.
- The position of widgets is saved automatically, so once you’re done check your site to make sure everything looks right.
Notes:
- All widgets that start with “APW” are designed specifically for AcuPerfect Websites.
- Use the dividing line widget “——————” to visually separate groups of widgets on your site.
- The “Text” widget allows you to add any text or HTML to your sidebar.
