Adjusting sidebars #124

Closed Tanmccuin closed 5 years ago

Tanmccuin commented 8 years ago

Is there any documentation on how best to approach sidebars within Scaffolding?

It seems obtuse to me currently that sidebars are called in the footer, and controlled in the header, when it's the main body content they appear in? Almost all of the templates I've worked with over the years keep sidebar in the page.php level template. With the Scaffolding approach, so far as I can tell, custom page templates will require custom footer templates to control whether or not sidebars appear (at least, at a template level...) I'm assuming there's a reason? could you enlighten me?

We generally use a plugin to control what pages widgets appear on like Dynamic Widgets or Jetpack's Visibility but by default the left and right sidebar are used for all templates. This is actually something I've addressed in the Woo Integration branch and will move to master soon.
