    Cool Custom blog sidebar

    Quick guide if you want to have sidebar different to the default one in your blog pages.

    1) Copy index.php and single.php onto your child theme.
    2) On both pages, replace:
    PHP Code:
    <?php get_sidebar( app_template_base() ); ?>
    with
    PHP Code:
    <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'blog' ); ?>
    3) Register a dynamic sidebar on your child theme's functions.php, like so:
    PHP Code:
    register_sidebar( array(
                'id' => 'blog',
                'name' => 'Blog Sidebar',
                'description' => 'The sidebar on the blog index and single pages',
                'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
                'after_widget' => "</aside>",
                'before_title' => '<div class="section-head"><h3>',
                'after_title' => '</h3></div>',
    ) ); 
    4) Create sidebar-blog.php on your child theme with the following code:
    PHP Code:
    <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'blog' ); ?>
    You now have a sidebar that is editable via the wp-admin widgets section that is used on the blog's home page and single article page.

    Hope this helps someone else
