Sidebar and Layout

Sidebar and Layout Guide

Applies to: Current VideoHub360 theme package

Container Width

Go to Appearance → Customize → Global Design → Layout Options to set the theme container width used by supported layouts.

Global Sidebar Defaults

Go to Appearance → Customize → Global Design → Layout / Sidebar.

For each supported content type, select:

  • No Sidebar
  • Left Sidebar
  • Right Sidebar

Then choose the registered sidebar that should appear.

The available groups are:

  • Pages: Sidebar Layout and Pages: Default Sidebar
  • Posts: Sidebar Layout and Posts: Default Sidebar
  • Products: Sidebar Layout and Products: Default Sidebar, when WooCommerce is active
  • Archives: Sidebar Layout and Archives: Default Sidebar

Add Sidebar Content

Go to Appearance → Widgets and add widgets to the sidebar selected for each content type. Selecting a sidebar in the Customizer does not populate it.

Per-Content Overrides

The global settings are defaults. A page or post can use its own supported layout/sidebar selection when an individual override is available in its editor.

VideoHub360 Layouts

VideoHub360 Core has separate single-video and video-archive display defaults under VideoHub360 → Settings. Player placement and VideoHub360 content layout are not controlled by the theme’s general WordPress sidebar defaults.

Dashboard, Production Studio, and Mobile Live use application layouts. Do not force a standard blog sidebar into those screens.

Test the Layout

  1. Publish the Customizer settings.
  2. Check a normal page, blog post, category or tag archive, and WooCommerce product when applicable.
  3. Confirm the selected widget area contains the expected widgets.
  4. Test desktop, tablet, mobile browser, and installed PWA layouts.
  5. Confirm sidebars, sticky elements, footer content, and mobile navigation do not overlap.
