Clover [Genesis] - Sidebar

If you imported the demo, all the sidebar widgets will be automatically set up for you.

To add sidebar widgets to your site, go to Appearance > Widgets. Drag widgets from the left into the Primary Sidebar area to place them in your sidebar.

Sidebar Widgets used in the Clover Demo

You can view the sidebar in the demo here.

Note: If you see any widgets in your Primary Sidebar titled "Block" — remove those widgets. These are default WordPress block widgets, and will not appear correctly when using the Classic Widgets page (shown in the image above).
