    Hi madmanc,
    The plugin provide widget space to display widget in the sidebar.
    What ever widget you will use will display. And to display the widget you should use plugin : https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-widget/

    Hi madmanc,
    Because the refine results is coded at most first and sidebar action hook after that only that’s why you can see sidebar below that only.
    Thanks

  • madmanc

    also vipul , when you add a widget to a category page , if you use the refine results , once the page is reloaded the widgets disappear once you press the refine results button. can this be avoided?

    HI madmanc,
    You may apply for refund on marketplace@appthemes.com
    As while you see sidebar.php file from ClassiPress theme the only filter will display first and there are not any action hook to display any thing above those filters. So as per your demand we cannot change, it is not possible and I think you may have check our demo as we have display the demo and filter is always above the additional widgets. Sorry for inconvenient.
    Thanks

    Important Notice: – Members, please do not buy ‘ClassiPress’ theme because
    The users cannot post Ads directly as free ads, this is very important to classified sites, only admins can post, this complained in the Apptheme forms several times
    but the problem is not solved by the theme developer
