How to Add Widgets to Wordpress?

Hello Ana Maria Escalona ,

Thanks for using Nicepage!

Please create a new Separate Case and ask your question in there.
For better understanding and clarification maybe we will need your private details, project details, credentials, etc.

We need that case to be private. We will try our best to help you.

Hello Juraj,

Could you please explain in more details exactly what features do you miss in Nicepage?

HI we need onlu one ...
We need the ability to use WIDGET AREAS in nicepage ... If there are winger areas .. we can use almost everything from WP...
Same as in themler .. you are working with widget areas ... not with widgets ..

Instead .. text widget, Calendar widger, .... we need simple ... WIDGET area ...
With this we can use all widgets :-)

Hi Adam,

Sorry for the delay in replying. I see the main menu on your site in the Header and it has the Destinations item. Do you need to have subitems in that menu item? In this case simply edit the menu structure to add submenus in it. If you need something different, please explain in some details.

Hi,

It looks like the menu style is not applied. It could be caused by the missing menu styles in the plugin, or there is an option to switch the plugin styles. For example, if the menu created by this plugin uses bootstrap styles, then this issue is caused by the fact that Nicepage does not use bootstrap. But in such cases, the plugins include the option to enable alternative menu styling to avoid such problems. Please check the plugin settings.

when I try to add the menu widget it displays as bulleted links and not as a pull-down type menu. I will seek a plugin that uses shortcodes for this type of jump-menu. If you have any suggestions they would be very helpful. Thank you. - Adam

Hi,

There are two possible solutions:

1. Add the menu widget to the existing theme widget area and then add Position control on the Nicepage page and use the name of the existing theme widget area for Position control.
2. Depending on the plugin, there is could be an option to add the menu created by the plugin using a shortcode or PHP function. For this Nicepage provides Shortcode and PHP controls.

I need to add a "pulldown jump menu" into the content on my wordpress homepage. Any suggestions?

Hi SH707,

Unfortunately, the Nicepage page can be edited in a Nicepage editor only.

I just want my clients to use the wordpress editor and not go into nicepage.
I'm not concerned about the cost of nicepage (pay even ultimate license).

Hi,

Please let me know why you need to add the widget area manually? Maybe you can use the ready Nicepage solutions.
And also we do not support custom code modifications.

I am adding a custom widget but having an errors in the code as it not giving me the the actual output. Can you please help me to resolve this issues. Here is the code that I have added in functions.php
<code>
function widget()
{

register_sidebar(array(
    'name' => __('Primary Sidebar', 'wpb'),
    'id' => 'primary_sidebar'
    'description' => '',
    'class' => '',
    'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
    'after_widget' => '</li>',
    'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
    'after_title' => '</h2>',
));

}

add_action('widgets_init', 'widget');

I have seen this code here https://www.wpblog.com/wordpress-custom-widget-area/ but its not working for my site theme

Hi Juraj,

Actually, Themler does not allow to insert Joomla Position or WP Widget area controls into the green content area. This area is equivalent to the Nicepage Page (everything between Header and Footer). In both cases, this is WP Page/Joomla article content. But in Nicepage you CAN insert Position control into this area and display existing CMS widgets located in the widget area/position created in the theme. Also, Nicepage allows inserting built-in WP Widgets into the content (Meta tags, Calendar, Text, etc). In this aspect, Nicepage provides more options than Themler.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Hello Olivia...
Simple answer is ... look to Themler integration with WP, Joomla, ..... How Themler uses widgets from WP, ...How uses Joomla .... and other CMS...
I think it is very important to include content from CMS into nicePage created pages :-)

Thanks.

Hi lgallpelen,

but doesn´t work in pages. I´ve been trying to add custom widget areas to a Home template and not working.

Nicepage pages are CMS content Pages/Articles.
Both Wordpress and Joomla do not allow the creation of widget areas or module positions inside content. Therefore, once you added Position control on the Nicepage page, you should specify the name of the existing theme widget area/module position. In other words, Position control allows displaying widget/module which is located in one of the widget areas/module positions existing in the theme.

If you noticed, the article and the video only shows how to add "positions & sidebars" into Blog and Post templates, but doesn´t work in pages. I´ve been trying to add custom widget areas to a Home template and not working.
