Where does the sidebar go on a WordPress website?
WordPress Sidebar is a vertical/ horizontal box on your website that appears next to your website content, on the right or left side of your page. The one that appears to the right side of your main site content is called ‘right sidebar’ and the one which appears on the left of the main content is called ‘left sidebar’.
If layout selection is graphical, note that the two sidebars option is the one with GRAY sidebars. The three column layout with white on both sides gives you a narrower content column, without sidebars. Of course, layout shouldn’t be your only consideration when choosing a theme.
