Responsive offers three sidebar options: right sidebar, left sidebar, and no sidebar (disable sidebar). You can manage the sidebars globally for the site from the Customizer or particular pages and posts.
To manage the sidebar globally in the customizer, follow these steps:
Step 1: Go to Appearance > Customize.
Step 2: Click on Sidebar > Layout.
To make your sidebar visible, set the Default Layout to either Right or Left. To disable the sidebar, select “No Sidebar.”
Step 3: Once you have set at least one of your sidebars, you can adjust the sidebar width as a percentage of your content area.
In addition, Responsive allows you to manage sidebars for specific pages or posts, which is not possible in other themes.
Step 4: Add items to your sidebar by navigating Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets.
If you have followed the instructions and still can’t see the sidebar, please ensure you add widgets. You can do this by going to the Customizer and clicking on Customize > Widgets.
