Article Sidebar

The Article Sidebar template enables you to create blog post pages with a dedicated sidebar—ideal for displaying related content such as author info, popular articles, tags, newsletter signups, or social sharing alongside your article.

How to Set Up

1. Start from the Default Blog Post template
   Use the standard blog post layout as your base.

2. Hide the default Article Body Text block
   In the main section, locate and hide or remove the Article body text block to prevent duplicate content rendering.

3. Add a Sidebar Section
   Insert the Sidebar Section into your page layout.

4. Configure the Sidebar
   Inside the Sidebar Section, use the Sidebar block to add dynamic content such as:

   • Blog tags (auto-populated from the current article)
   • Recent or related articles
   • Author bio, social links, or sharing buttons
   • Newsletter form or featured products

5. Re-add Article Body Text inside the Sidebar Section
   To ensure your article content appears next to the sidebar (not below it), drag the Article Body Text block into the main content area of the Sidebar Section (not inside the sidebar column itself).

6. Enhance with Additional Blocks
   The Sidebar Section fully supports all @theme blocks in both the main content area and the sidebar column, giving you complete flexibility to build a rich, engaging reading experience.

💡 Tip: Use the “Hidden on mobile” option for non-essential sidebar blocks to prioritize readability on small screens, or enable “Collapse” mobile layout for an accordion-style navigation.
