I am using Magento 1.9.2.1 with "porto" theme.
I have created a few CMS info pages for things like "reasons to buy" etc. I have the pages set to 2 column with left sidebar but there is nothing showing in the sidebar.
How can I add blocks like recently viewed / categories etc to the CMS pages using Layout Update XML as it looks a bit empty at the moment!
Just to add I am not a coder, I have extremely limited and basic knowledge so to anyone that does reply please treat it as an "idiots guide" lol
Best Answer
Catalog -> Manage Categories -> [select category] -> Custom Design
Put this code snipet to 'Custom Layout Update' textarea:
