Lumiere: Recreating the Demo - Sidebar

Sidebar Section

Here is the widget breakdown for the Sidebar section:

• Custom Menu
• Gantry Divider
• RokSprocket

Custom Menu

The Custom Menu widget allows us to add an extra menu in the sidebar. This menu was created separately from the main menu linked in the header, and can be configured by going to Administration -> Appearance -> Menus.

Here is a breakdown of what you will need to change in the widget options to match the demo.

• Set the Select Menu option to match the name of the menu you wish to appear in this area.
• Set the Box Variation option to Box 1.
• Set the Custom Variations field to fp-sidebar-menu.
• Leaving all other options at their default settings, click Save.

Gantry Divider

This widget tells WordPress to start a new widget column beginning with the widget placed directly below the divider in the section.

RokSprocket

This widget located in the sidebar section of the page is a RokSprocket Lists widget created in a very similar way to the previous RokSprocket widgets featured on the front page of the demo.

First, you will need to create the RokSprocket Widget. You can do this by navigating to Administration -> RokSprocket Admin and creating a new Lists widget.

You can find out more about RokSprocket and how to set up and modify widgets by visiting our RokSprocket documentation.

Here is a look at the Lists Layout Options for this widget.

You can set the RokSprocket filters to include any category, specific posts, or otherwise you would like to have featured in this widget.

Once you have created this widget, you can add it via the Widgets menu by clicking RokSprocket and dragging it to the appropriate section. When you have done this, you will need to complete the following.

• Select your RokSprocket widget in the Choose Widget field.
• Set the Custom Variations field to nomarginall medpaddingall.
• Leaving everything else at its default setting, select Save.

The widget should now be created and ready for use on the front page of your WordPress site.
