Designing Sidebar

Hi, is it possible to design a sidebar using bricks builder. Would like to use elements in the bricks builder instead of the gutenberg blocks provided in the WP widget page.

Sure, but using WP native sidebars with Bricks kinda doesn’t make sense to me… You can create a template and then place it in a “sidebar” in a global page/post template… Does that make sense?

Anyway, it’s there…

Thanks etobic…I was thinking of creating sidebar template within bricks (like we do for header, footer etc) and then calling the template via the element…

Hi @dushyanth,

To do it like that, proceed as follow:
1- Create a template (section)
2- Add your content inside
3- Save your template

Call if from the template element
4- Go to your page
5- Add the template element
6- Select your template

Call if from the shortcode element
4- Get the shortcode by visiting the template page
5- Go to your page
6- Add the shortcode element
7- Paste the shortcode obtain before

Have a great day,
Thomas
