Side Bar in Posts – Post Format

Adding a widgetized sidebar to Cubic would be a major project, but it could be done with a child theme and some PHP/HTML/CSS knowledge.

Making a child theme means your changes won’t be overwritten when you update the theme. If you’re new to child themes, you can explore these guides:

Here are some resources on adding new widgetized areas to a theme:

Also, in looking at the cubic theme I saw that there were different post formats, ways to make a post with multiple pages, videos, etc., but I can’t figure out how to do it on my site. The post format button on the back end doesn’t seem to be changing the posts.

Adding post pagination can be done with the

<!––nextpage––>

tag. Add that in your post wherever you want it to split into another page.

Can you provide a link to other examples of what you’d like to accomplish so I can have a look and see how that’s being done?

Are you referring to the Post Format options in the post edit screen?

If you’re not seeing them, click the Screen Options tab at the top right and make sure the Formats box is checked.
