Single Blog Post Template Glitch - Single Post gets Duplicated Below Footer

[sitecompli]

Hi there, i’m wondering if you can help me troubleshoot an issue with my single blog post page templates?

All of my blog posts have the post content duplicated right after the footer.

Here’s an example: https://sitecompli2.wpengine.com/blog/local-law-152-update-new-gas-piping-inspection-requirement

The only changes i’ve done regarded the single post page template are the following:

1. Created a copy of single.php and put it in my X Child Theme folder. The copied single.php does not have any custom code, it’s the original that only includes this snippet: x_get_view( x_get_stack(), ‘wp’, ‘single’ );
2. Added to my functions.php file located in my X Child Theme folder, 2 snippets of code that 1) add the sidebar to only blog posts and 2) which specific sidebar I want added. These snippets I got from another support article located here: https://theme.co/apex/forums/topic/adding-a-sidebar-to-a-blog-post-only/.

Those are the only customizations i’ve done… is there something else that may be causing the duplicated blog post content from reappearing?

Thanks!

Hello Jon-Sun,

You have added this code:

<?php

// =============================================================================
// SINGLE.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Handles output of individual posts.
//
// Content is output based on which Stack has been selected in the Customizer.
// To view and/or edit the markup of your Stack's posts, first go to "views"
// inside the "framework" subdirectory. Once inside, find your Stack's folder
// and look for a file called "wp-single.php," where you'll be able to find the
// appropriate output.
// =============================================================================


x_get_view( x_get_stack(), 'wp', 'single' );

x_get_view( x_get_stack(), 'template', 'layout-content-sidebar' );

You can only have x_get_view( x_get_stack(), 'wp', 'single' ); or x_get_view( x_get_stack(), 'template', 'layout-content-sidebar' );. You cannot have them both because it will display duplicate contents and will broke the layout. At the moment, I commented out the first line.

Please check your site now.
