Hi,

I almost afraid to ask this question because I feel I will be told that you don’t offer customization advice, hire a developer..

I’m feeling very discouraged with trying to make this theme work the way I want right now.

It seems like such a basic request though, and it is easy with less complex themes.

All I would like, is to have the widgets in a custom sidebar show up on my single custom post type posts.

I have read all the posts I can find about this, and can’t seem to make it work.

Is there a proper tutorial somewhere?

I have a child theme activated, and have created a custom post type.

Using Integrity.

As much as I would like to, I can’t provide a url or login details.

The site is a development site, and I cannot make changes to the live site until I have fixed it in dev.

Which template files do I need to copy to the child folder and how do I add the sidebars to the single custom post types?

Once I have copied the correct files, what do I need to do make it work?

I would really appreciate some help here.

Hi, thanks.. that sort of helped…

I can get the sidebars showing on my single posts, but what I would like to do is replace the loop query for the standard posts with the custom post type singles.

I have created a custom “View”, but can’t seem to get it to display:

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/INTEGRITY/WP-SINGLE-NEWS-ARTICLE.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Single Article output for Integrity.
// =============================================================================

?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

  <div class="x-container max width offset">
    <div class="x-main right" role="main">

      <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
        <?php x_get_view( 'integrity', 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
        <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_comments-template' ); ?>
      <?php endwhile; ?>

    </div>

     <aside class="<?php x_sidebar_class(); ?>" role="complementary">
      <?php if ( get_option( 'ups_sidebars' ) != array() ) : ?>
        <?php dynamic_sidebar( apply_filters( 'ups_sidebar', 'latest-news' ) ); ?>
      <?php else : ?>
        <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'latest-news' ); ?>
      <?php endif; ?>
    </aside>

  </div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Clearly I need to replace something somewhere to make my custom post display, and I’m guessing it must be something pretty simple?

What am I missing?

Which View template do I need to copy into the Child’s Global and Stack view to replace the wp-single output on the front end?

Hi there,

You don’t need to re-create the custom query, WordPress will automatically do that for your custom post type. What you could be missing is custom post type template,

Please create this file,

/wp-content/themes/x/single-news-article.php

with this code,

<?php x_get_view( x_get_stack(), 'wp', 'single-news-article' ); ?>

Hope this helps.

Yes, that helps!

Getting somewhere now…

Thanks 🙂
