    Well I am building a new website coming from Porto an I am loving this xStore. I specifically switched for the multiple variation images feature so thanks for that. However I finally ran into an issue where I can’t find where to set the sidebar used on the blog page. I found the options in the theme options but nothing about what sidebar to use. It’s clearly using the Main Sidebar but this is used on the homepage an shows the product categories an I want the blog to have blog categories. I think I could make a custom sidebar to use on the homepage but I’d rather not get hackish with the site an since the blog is using the “main sidebar” it must be set somewhere. So any help where to look? Thanks Oh an elementor won’t open the blog page to edit.

    Hello,

    Thanks for using our theme.
    Blog page sidebar shows widgets from Appearance > Widgets > Main sidebar. For pages, like Home, you can select the sidebar area, go to Edit page > [8theme] Layout options > Widget Area > https://gyazo.com/86fe27c9d292b118f966235e7b73bbb4
    Yes, the layout of the Blog page can’t be edited using Elementor, because it is a default archive page for posts. All settings you can find in Theme Options > Blog > Blog layout.

    Regards

    I came to update that I found the workaround to make it work an it was to make a new custom sidebar for the homepage. I looked at one of your other demos an the Organic 1 did this making a “home-area” sidebar. I think that is what your saying in your response so I’ll do it this way. Thanks
