Side Panels

A side panel: the drawer that slides in from the edge of the screen. Build the contents here and pick it in the theme options or per page.

You will find it in the WordPress admin menu as Side Panels, stored as canvas_side_panel.

What You Get

These decide where items appear and what you can do with them:

  • One item is called a Side Panel.
  • Items have no page of their own: they are placed inside other pages.
  • Editor features: autosave, editor, title.

Demo

A panel on the Side Panel edit screen, holding these settings:

  • Demo Role

    Marks this content as the demo's cart, checkout or other named piece, so the demo can link to it without storing an ID. Free-form; used with the Demo above.
