Hello,
I’m trying to add a sidebar to the single post pages only, keeping full-width on my main blog page (aka. blog index page?). Is this possible? I’ve searched the forum top to bottom but could only find a solution for the opposite – keeping on blog page and removing from single post pages. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Also, is it possible to add sections/content bands to the bottom of all my post pages? It would be hugely beneficial if I had a standard set of sections (created in cornerstone preferably) with my preferred columns/rows and elements that appeared across all my post pages, (aka. as part of the post page template.)

oh, one last thing – how can I display the breadcrumb bar on only my Blog pages – the main blog index page and the individual post pages; and hidden everywhere else? Let me know if you’d like me to submit a separate support request for this one.

here is a link to my main blog page: http://w2worg.wpengine.com/news-blog/ (note: this page should not have the side bar, as it shows, but the post pages it links to should have the side bar, which is where i need your help :-)).

Thanks so much in advance for your help!
Brad

Hi there,

Thanks for posting in.

1. Please add this code to your child theme’s functions.php

 function x_get_content_layout() {

    $content_layout = x_get_option( 'x_layout_content' );

    if ( $content_layout != 'full-width' ) {
      if ( x_is_portfolio_item() ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } elseif ( x_is_portfolio() ) {
        $meta   = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_x_portfolio_layout', true );
        $layout = ( $meta == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $meta;
      } elseif ( is_page_template( 'template-layout-content-sidebar.php' ) ) {
        $layout = 'content-sidebar';
      } elseif ( is_page_template( 'template-layout-sidebar-content.php' ) ) {
        $layout = 'sidebar-content';
      } elseif ( is_page_template( 'template-layout-full-width.php' ) ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } elseif ( is_archive() ) {
        if ( x_is_shop() || x_is_product_category() || x_is_product_tag() ) {
          $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_woocommerce_shop_layout_content' );
          $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
        } else {
          $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_archive_layout' );
          $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
        }
      } elseif ( x_is_product() ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } elseif ( x_is_bbpress() ) {
        $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_bbpress_layout_content' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( x_is_buddypress() ) {
        $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_buddypress_layout_content' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( is_404() ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } else {
        $layout = $content_layout;
      }
    } else {
      $layout = $content_layout;
    }

      if ( is_home() ) {        
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } elseif ( is_singular( 'post' ) ) {
        $layout = 'content-sidebar';
      }

    return $layout;

  }

This should set your single post to content-sidebar layout, while blog home page is full-width.

2. Blog home page is basically an archive page, once you assign a page as your blog posts page then it will no longer function as a page, but just an archive page (it only uses the URL and page name of the page you assigned). Maybe adding content is possible, but the functionality of a page isn’t possible.

3. You can enable breadcrumb in your customizer ( Admin > Appearance > Customizer > Header > MISCELLANEOUS > Breadcrumbs ), then add this custom CSS in Admin > Appearance > Customizer > Custom > CSS

.x-breadcrumb-wrap {
display: none;
}

.blog .x-breadcrumb-wrap, .single-post .x-breadcrumb-wrap {
display: block;
}

Hope these helps.
