Steps

  1. In the Manage administrative menu, navigate to Structure > Block layout (admin/structure/block). The Block layout page appears, listing the theme’s regions.
  2. Ensure that in the secondary tab the core Bartik theme is selected. Block placement is defined per theme.
  3. Locate the region Sidebar second in the list and click Place block next to it. The Place block window appears, listing all the blocks.

  4. Locate the block Opening hours and location and click Place block next to it. The Configure block window appears. Fill in the fields as shown below.

    You can also hide or display the block on specific pages. In the case of the Farmer’s market website you do not set any of these configuration options because you want to show the block everywhere.
