I’ve applied some specific styling to the sidebar widget area in my theme, and rather than wrestling the individual widget-blocks in the page builder to mimic this, I’d prefer to just display the sidebar widget itself.
The issue is that, since the main page has a lot going on, I don’t want the sidebar widget area to just load in the sidebar, I need it to load within a row I’ve built in the PageBuilder.
Is there a widget in the PageBuilder that will display a widget-area fully?
Hi jeddavisdesign,
This isn’t actually possible purely with Page Builder at the moment, although it’s quite possible that there’s a plugin out there that displays a sidebar inside a widget. I did a quick search, but wasn’t able to find one.
One, slightly more advanced option would be to use the PHP widget. This widget allows you to add some pure PHP.

In there, you’d just have a call for dynamic_sidebar – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/dynamic_sidebar
So something like this
The PHP widget worked exactly as it should have, unfortunately the custom styling still isn’t pulling through. Looks like I’ll have to do it the round-about way after all.
Thanks!
Glad to hear you’ve made some progress :) All the best for the rest of your project.
