Side Frames on WP sites

outwest · 12-18-2011, 06:24 PM

Can you build WP sites with side frames on them? Example lots of WP sites have images on the top that stay on each page, kind of like the mother image for the site

can you do the same thing but on the left side of the site?>

You can add a floating menu with something like WordPress › Floating Menu « WordPress Plugins or a floating sidebar with http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...sidebar-maker/ (there are other plugins too, just search).

Hi outwest,

Yes, WP already has this built in as a standard feature. They are typically called sidebars which are columns that are built into the design template. You can include widgets from your theme or develop your own theme.

You can have any page on your Wordpress theme look like any other web page on the net.

Wordpress just makes life easier by storing everything in a database, the design, & layout are wide open to anything you or your web designer can imagine.

Your WP theme should have something like sidebar.php in the theme folder, that's the code for whatever you want in the sidebar.

Put a copy of that sidebar.php on your desktop, then open it with a text editor (Notepad, etc...) & you'll see the code you can edit. Most of that code will be regular html.

Just be careful & always backup themes before tweaking anything.
