Hi,

Am I correct when I say the + dropdown is missing from pages that use the “blank | no container, header, no footer” template?

This is a bit confusing because the +dropdown is managed from the header section of the customizer, and the header is present in this template.
I would like to have the option of using it when using this pagetemplate. Is there a workaround?

thanks for your awesome work. I am really enjoying this theme.

Joffrey,

Sorry to hear that you’re experiencing an issue. This could be a bug. To help us better assist you, could you please let us know what Stack you’re using?

Thanks!

I’m using Integrity. Based on your comment I switched to Icon – same issue.

There are still only two pages, home and contact, and the only difference i can spot between the two is the pagetemplate used. (and the fact that the contact page actually has content)

you can see the page at http://www.wallaartonderhoud.nl

Also, this is a completely new installation, no plugins installed but the ones that come with the theme.

Hey,

make sure that you’ve selected following options in the customizer: Header > Widgetbar > One, Two, Three or Four and assign widgets to that new header area. Then the + button should appear on the right side of your site.

Hi, actually, I did. If you look at the contact page the widgetbar is there (with a text widget, but I also had the same result sans widgets).

The widgetbar is still missing on home.

Joffrey,

Thank you for providing us with the link, it helps a lot.

The issue here is that you are using the Blank – No Container | Header, No Footer template. The widget area that you’re referring to is actually included as part of the footer so as to keep all non-essential content like this after your main content (structurally, not visually) for SEO reasons. Because the footer is deactivated to achieve the look you’re using based on one of our demos, it would not show on the homepage.

This is a tricky situation, but I can understand that you would expect it to show up regardless of if the footer is off or not. I will place this on our development timeline of issues to look into and see if we can address this in a future release.

Thanks! Don’t hesitate to let us know if you need anything else.

That was the first question I asked in this thread. 🙂

Thanks to your comments and excellently documented code I changed integrity’s template-blank-5.php to this:

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/INTEGRITY/TEMPLATE-BLANK-5.PHP (No Container | Header, No Footer)
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// A blank page for creating unique layouts.
// =============================================================================

?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

  <div class="x-main" role="main">
    <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
      <div class="entry-content">

        <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
          <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
            <?php the_content(); ?>
            <?php x_link_pages(); ?>
          <?php endwhile; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>

      </div> <!-- end .entry-content -->
    </article> <!-- end .hentry -->
  </div> <!-- end .x-main -->

  <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_header', 'widget-areas' ); ?>

  </div> <!-- end .site -->

<?php x_get_view( 'global', '_footer' ); ?>

Adding the <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_header', 'widget-areas' ); ?> and adding the header widgetbar to this template without sacrificing functionality of the customizer, and I don’t think anything else gets in the way here as well. Perhaps this could also be a nice way of adding this functionality to all your no footer templates in a future release.

Anyway I am still loving this theme and the versatility it gives.

Kind regards,

Joffrey

Joffrey,

An excellent fix! I’m not sure if you’re doing so already, but I would apply this to a child theme to ensure that your changes don’t get overwritten when updating to future versions of the theme.

Thanks for such an excellent reply so that others can benefit for the time being! 🙂

[Joffrey W]

Thanks for the heads up on the child theme. In this case, I am still fooling around with the theme a bit but rest assured I will use a child theme once the site goes live.

And thanks for the compliment 🙂

No problem! When we all work together, everybody benefits. 🙂
