Right side bar widgets

[im2badd]

How do I get the Panel Headings or Styles heading on the right side bar of my pages.

Examples here: http://demo.themeblvd.com/?theme=commodore

I want to place the code….

[panel title=”Panel heading” footer=”Optional footer text”]
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad veniam.
[/panel]

…so it will display on my right side bar. I can’t figure out how this works. I’ve tried everything.

Hi Bruce,

Unfortunately there is no feature in the theme for sidebar widgets to use Bootststrap panels. This is a whole separate thing.

Are the shortcode Componets bootstap panels?

So none of the Compents found here…

…can be put in a side bar?

Is there a away to make this work?

WordPress doesn’t natively support shortcodes in widgets. It is possible to add this functionality though through your Child theme’s functions.php, however that would be a customization you’d need to make to the theme.

Here’s an article that shows how to do this by allowing you to put shortcodes in a Text widget:

You can do this via plugins like this one, as well:

Keep in mind that shortcodes are not styled for widgets and sidebars. So it’s possible that not all of the theme’s shortcodes will look right when placed in a widget.

Got it. Reason I ask is that I am trying to create a “side bar” I can use on several pages without having to create the same thing on each page. So when I make a change, it will change all the pages this side bar is on.
