Setup Widgets

You need to click and drag the widgets that you would like to use into your sidebars. The Primary Sidebar displays the widgets when you are using either of the 2 column layouts, and on the left side of the 3 column layout, and the Secondary Sidebar displays widgets when you are using only the 3 column layout.

  1. In the WP-Admin area, go to APPEARANCE > WIDGETS
  2. Add and remove any Widgets you want to the sidebars by dragging and dropping theme in place. You can also move widgets above and below other widgets in a sidebar by dragging and dropping.

Recommended Use: This is just a suggestion of how to configure your sidebar (See FIG A)

  • Add the TB Featured Content widget to the Primary Sidebar
    • Change the Title to “Featured Trips”
    • Then for any Trip Post you want to show in this sidebar, go to the Post and check the “Feature in Widget” checkbox
  • Add the TB Global Google Map widget to the Primary Sidebar
    • Change the Title to “Map of My Trip”
    • All of the latest locations that you have mapped in your Trip Posts will be displayed here.
  • Add the TB Latest Content widget to the Primary Sidebar
    • Change the Title to “Travel Events” and select the Travel Events Category from the drop down.
    • Now all your latest Posts you assign to the Travel Events category will display in your sidebar.
