Solstice Theme Sidebar Compatibility

Using LifterLMS Labs: Super Sidebars

# Top

As of March 2017, the recommend method for sidebar compatibility is to use LifterLMS Labs: Super Sidebars, a free add-on that allows you to add sidebar compatibility to just about any theme in a matter of seconds without having to write any code. See the full tutorial here.

You can add the following snippet to your Solstice Theme functions.php file or to a custom plugin to ensure your course and lesson sidebars function when using this theme.

/**

* on courses and lessons in place of the sidebar returned by
* this function
* @param string $id default sidebar id (an empty string)
* @return string
*/
function my_llms_sidebar_function( $id ) {
$my_sidebar_id = 'sidebar'; // replace this with your theme's sidebar ID
return $my_sidebar_id;
}
add_filter( 'llms_get_theme_default_sidebar', 'my_llms_sidebar_function' );
/**
* Declare explicit theme support for LifterLMS course and lesson sidebars
* @return void
*/
function my_llms_theme_support(){
add_theme_support( 'lifterlms-sidebars' );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_llms_theme_support' );
