Last updated on January 13, 2023 @ 4:34 pm

Sidebars are a great way to add extra information to your WooCommerce product pages. They can be used to display product descriptions, pricing information, shipping details, or even customer reviews.

To add a sidebar to your WooCommerce product pages, you’ll need to first edit your theme’s code. In your theme’s folder, look for the file called “single-product.php.” This is the template that controls the layout of your WooCommerce product pages.

Next, you’ll need to add the following code to the top of the “single-product.php” file:

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with code or are not comfortable working with code, do not attempt to add a sidebar to your WooCommerce product page. You could inadvertently break something on your page or site. If you are comfortable working with code, then proceed with caution and be sure to back up your site before making any changes.

This code tells WordPress to check if there is an active sidebar called “sidebar-1.” If there is, it will display the contents of that sidebar on your WooCommerce product pages.

Finally, you’ll need to add some content to your new sidebar. Go to Appearance > Widgets and drag and drop any widgets you want to display in your sidebar. Popular choices for WooCommerce product pages include the Text widget and the Recent Posts widget.

That’s all there is to it! With just a few lines of code, you can add a sidebar to your WooCommerce product pages.
