Can anyone please tell me why sidebar is not appearing in archive page like categories?

I am using Elementor for designing archive template. And I don't know why sidebar isn't showing whenever I load archive page.

You probably using a different template pre set for that archive page.
Go under pages and check which of the 3 types is selected for other pages. I think one is called Canvas, another full-width and there is one more. This might destroy the elementor theme so make a copy.

Hey @Funuki7878 ,
For the sidebar first, you can use the theme customization to activate the sidebar as default.
If you are using some demo of the website it will not show you the sidebar when the demo installed then try to add some plugin

Thank you

Hey thank you for replying back. But I have found the solution. After checking dozens of blogs, tutorials, and threads about sidebar hide issue, I came to know that sidebar are disabled on the Elementor archive page by default and they can't be displayed easily. We have to do some additional steps which I didn't understand how to do.

The simple solution to this problem is that, create two columns in the archive page itself. The first column will have 70% width and shall be used to show page content. The second sidebar should have about 30% width and here you have to put all the elements/ widgets of your sidebar and done.
