Sidebar layouts

Updated on October 22, 2026

GeneratePress lets you pick one site-wide sidebar layout. Enhance for GP adds a separate layout choice for each page type, so your blog archive can have a sidebar while your search results do not.

Where to find it

  1. Go to Appearance → Customize → Layout → Sidebars.
  2. Pick a layout for each page type.
  3. Click Publish.
Customizer Layout → Sidebars with the per-page sidebar layout selects

Good to know

  • Inherit (Default) uses the site-wide layout you set in GeneratePress.

  • These options work only when GeneratePress is the active theme or the parent theme.
