    Hello,

    I want to add a filter to the Posts Page. I really like your design in Posts Page so I want to keep that page as it is but just want to add a filter to the top of the posts.

    I think Search & Filter Plugin would do the job and it is working with a shortcode. Is it possible to add its filter shortcode to the Posts Page?

    Many thanks for the answer

    Hi Elif,

    There’s not a widget location or a content area above the posts on the posts page, but you could place it at the top of the sidebar instead, if that would suffice.

    If it was pretty crucial to your site, you could setup a child theme and modify it to include an area for this.

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!

    Hi Steven,

    Thanks for the message. In my case, I’d need only one extra template, so is it really a must to create a child theme?

    I tried to copy index.php and named it with a new template name. I get the sidebar at the right but didn’t show up. What else should I customize? At least can you give me a clue where to start?

    It’s up to you…I would personally recommend going with a child theme, that way you don’t end up losing your modifications next time a theme update is released.

    But either way, just rename the new file you created to home.php and you’ll be able to add a new widget area following the info here:

    Best of luck!
