Post page layout in Pro

[Jen6566]

Hi there! I'm trying to create a blog post, but now that I've updated to Pro, it's like my page has no container. I used to be able to use Cornerstone for blog posting, but I don't see Pro available for Posts.

This is the post I'm working on: http://staging.theantgroup.com/informant-07-18-tech-post/ - it's easy to what's wrong with it. How can I either:

1) use pro to create blog posts, or

2) use WPs standard post features, but with the body content aligned normally?

Thank you!

I wanted to give you an update. I used the [container] short code on that post I just listed in my last message. So now it's looking better.

But is there a way to use PRO for blog posts? And if not, can you fix Pro so we're not forced to have to use a shortcode just to have margins on the page? Or is there a trick I'm missing? Thanks!

Hello Josh,

In the latest release, we have introduced the Permissions Manager where in the "Edit in Cornerstone" when you are editing a post is disabled by default. This was explained in our changelog here:

https://theme.co/changelog/#theme-pro-2-1-0-theme-x-6-1-0-cornerstone-3-1-0

Simply go to X > Settings > Permissions and make sure that Post is enabled. Please check out Permissions Manager to know more how you can enable it back:

Permissions

In Pro v2.1.0, X v6.1.0, and Cornerstone v3.1.0 you can manage permissions per user role across the builders and tools available within each product. To get to the "Permissions" box, go to "Settings" in the WordPress admin under either the Pro, X, or Cornerstone menu items. The screenshot below is taken from a Pro installation, but the link is labeled the same across all products: [image] Once you've arrived at the "Settings" page, scrolling to the bottom you will come across the Permissions…

Hope this helps.

So many updates and changes, it's hard to keep up. Sorry to have interrupted - I searched several times out in the support forum, but I didn't see that in the results. Thanks for pointing it out! Now I'll know for the rest of my Pro sites!

I'll do that - thank you!

I have a follow-up question for you related to blog posting. I want me blog summary page (http://staging.theantgroup.com/the-informant/) to have a right sidebar, but I want my blog posts to be full width. In the theme settings, I set it to full width, but that took my right side bar off the summary page.

Is there a way to make my summary page have a sidebar while letting the posts be full width? Thanks again!

Hi There,

Please set the blog page layout back to Global Content Layout:

After that add this custom CSS under Theme Options > CSS:

.single-post .x-sidebar {display: none !important;}

Hope it helps

[Jen6566]

Hi! That didn't work.

In the global settings, I went into Layout & Design, and chose Content Left; Sidebar Right (so that I could have my sidebar on this page: http://staging.theantgroup.com/the-informant/.

Then I added the code you provided - .single-post .x-sidebar {display: none !important;} - to the Theme Options CSS, but my posts are still leaving room for the a right sidebar anyway (http://staging.theantgroup.com/the-ant-group-honored-as-dream-design-firm/ ).

It's not affecting my old posts (made with X+CS), and it's not affecting my WP-based posts. It's really just the new post I've added using PRO. But I plan to post more using PRO, so I do this resolved pretty quickly (client deadline).

Did I misunderstand your instructions? My blog settings look like yours except I'm using the Masonry style. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

[Jen6566]

Oh wait - I figured it out I think.

The last thing I have to do was to check the box for fullwidth WP settings for the Post. Now it's full-width. But important to know that within the post, you have to go into the Post Settings and check that box, or it will still leave room for a sidebar on the pages where you don't want it.

Hope that helps folks who find this thread having the same problem.

Thank you!

You are most welcome.
