what's your sidebar configs in .vitepress/config.j(t)s

[alexzhang1030]

i think before you add your sidebar, you need to set the sidebar show path.

Hi,

Thank you @alexzhang1030, @Loveyless the problem resolved.

So I have to explicitly define routes when the sidebar should appear that make sense.

if I pass directly an array the side bar always showing, but the way is to pass an object.

Thank you for help.

Hi @brc-dd

I suggest that by default hide any sidebar from the layout home.

[brc-dd]

Probably need to change this line:

vitepress/src/client/theme-default/composables/sidebar.ts

Line 19 in 9c2a36f

return frontmatter.value.sidebar !== false && sidebar.value.length > 0

to:

    return frontmatter.value.sidebar !== false && sidebar.value.length > 0 && frontmatter.value.layout !== 'home'

Ah yeah, let's do that. Home layout isn't built for Sidebar in mind so the style will never work. Home layout should always hide sidebar 👍
