I’m creating a custom template for the archive of a specific post category, and want to specify content to display in the sidebar.

I found from where the sidebars are called using the function infinity_base_sidebars() in /engine/includes/sidebars.php.

But adding my own version of this file to my child theme doesn’t seem to overwrite the function. Is there a way to overwrite sidebars.php? Am I going about this the wrong way?

I think in this case it would be easier to create a new sidebar file. So do something like:

• create *posttype-archive.php* in your Child Theme
• create new-sidebar.php in your Child Theme
• Replace infinity_get_sidebar(); in the *posttype-archive.php* with infinity_get_template_part( 'new-sidebar' );
• Register the new sidebar widget in functions.php of your child theme
• Modify the new-sidebar file so that it calls the new widget

Does this make sense?

Bowe, that does make sense, thank you.
We’ve got it working now.
