I have used the template to design a blog site. I was thinking that I might want to add another sidebar to the design, (top or left.) Will that cause any problems to my existing design.

If you are comfortable enough to code in another sidebar and doing this with a child theme (never edit any files of the actual parent theme), go for it. Not sure where exactly you want to put the sidebar, but have you decided precisely where you want to add one? I can tell you what file you will be adding it to. But please be aware there will be multiple files to modify.

—————————————-

To register a Sidebar: /inc/sidebars.php

To create a sidebar: you would need to duplicate for example: /template-parts/sidebars/sidebar-inset-top.php
Then rename the sidebar names to be what you are making.

Then you need to add the new sidebar to an existing template file–will depend on where you want to add the sidebar because this will tell you what template file is the one.

Then you will of course need to create styling CSS for your sidebar (if any).

I am happy with the modification you’ve already made and so is my customer. You also created both left and right sidebars for me several months ago on a different site. Awesome support!!!!
