I just came across this support thread that allows you to create post templates the exact same way you do with page templates: https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/using-post-type-templates/13698
As per the instructions on that thread I have created this a new fullwidth-layout.php file and uploaded it to child theme’s folder wp-content/themes/x-child/
<?php
/*
Template Name: Full-width layout
Template Post Type: post, page, product
*/
?>
<?php x_get_view( x_get_stack(), 'template', 'blank-1' ); ?>
It works amazing. I can now edit the look and feel of posts by selecting a template, just I do with pages.
The only problem I am having is that the “landmark” strip is still showing at the top.
How can I setup the same type of post templates without the landmark?
I could hide it each time using a lot of messy CSS but instead I want the template to exclude the landmark so it doesn’t appear in the first place. It’s a much cleaner solution with less hassle.
