Add sidebar on the blog archive page

Hello, we are interested in how this support topic was resolved: https://xtemos.com/forums/topic/is-it-possible-add-sidebar-on-the-blog-archive-page/

We are looking to add a sidebar to the blog archive page (ie. overall blog page and category archives).
We already have a sidebar on the single post page, but need a sidebar on the archive pages as well.

Hi rgbadmin,

Thanks for reaching to us.

Please go to Theme Settings > Blog > Blog and you can select layout for blog archive.

Yes, that setting is set to have a right sidebar. However, this setting is only being applied to the single post page, not the archive pages.

Hi rgbadmin,

To assist you in the best possible manner, I kindly ask that you please provide me temporary wp-admin info (wp-admin URL, username, password) to the Private Content area, this will allow me to thoroughly investigate and address your concerns more efficiently.

Kind Regards,

The log information is provided in Private Content.

Hi rgbadmin,

Thanks for details.

Admin credential is incorrect, please check again.

Hello,

We were able to log in using the same credentials, but we have gone ahead and reset the password. The login information is provided in Private Content.

Hi rgbadmin,

Please edit page > scroll down to Page Settings > Sidebar tab and you can set the custom sidebar for this blog page to the Main Widget Area and now the sidebar shows on the archive, cats and post with the masonry design.

Hello. We now see the sidebar on the archive pages, however, it appears our child theme was replaced with the parent theme in Appearance > Themes.

Is there any reason why this would be?
Is there any issue you can foresee with switching the theme back to the child theme?
Our child theme style.css needs to be functioning for the website styling.

Hi rgbadmin,

You can switch to Child theme, please let me know if you need further helps.

Regards,
