Hello

My site has content layout default set to “fullwidth” but I want a sidebar just on the main blog page and blog posts. How do I do this? Changing the content layout default set to “content left – sidebar right” isn’t an option as I would have to manually go in and change 100s of pages back to “fullwidth”.

Thanks!

Hello Yanik,

Thank you for the credentials.
Your settings is correct. Please try to clear cache and then try to check again. We might be seeing cache content.

Hello

I already have the blog index page to not cache but I cleared my cache as well and tried a different browser and the side bar doesn’t show.

Please help.

Hi There,

In That case, please go to Appereance > Customizer > Layout and design and choose the general layout with Side Bar.

On the pages you dont want a sidebar, click Edit Page > On your WordPress classic admin bar > Under the blue update button you can choose the template Blank No Container Header Footer.

Hope that helps

Joao

Hi

As I mentioned before, this isn’t an option as I have 100s of pages that I would need to do this on.

Isn’t there another simple solution?

Hi There,

Please update the code on your child theme’s functions.php file to this:

function x_get_content_layout() {

    $content_layout = x_get_option( 'x_layout_content', 'content-sidebar' );

    if ( $content_layout != 'full-width' ) {
      if ( is_home() ) {
        $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_blog_layout', 'sidebar' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( is_singular( 'post' ) ) {
        $layout = 'content-sidebar';
      } elseif ( 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', 'sidebar' );
          $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
        } else {
          $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_archive_layout', 'sidebar' );
          $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', 'sidebar' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( x_is_buddypress() ) {
        $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_buddypress_layout_content', 'sidebar' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( is_404() ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } else {
        $layout = $content_layout;
      }
    } else {
	  if ( is_home() || is_singular( 'post' ) ) {
        $layout = 'content-sidebar';
      else{
	    $layout = $content_layout;
	  }
    }

    return $layout;

  }

Hope this helps.

That code broke my site. My home page was blank.

Hi There,

We’re sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you. I missed one closing bracket. This updated code should work now:

function x_get_content_layout() {

    $content_layout = x_get_option( 'x_layout_content', 'content-sidebar' );

    if ( $content_layout != 'full-width' ) {
      if ( is_home() ) {
        $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_blog_layout', 'sidebar' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( is_singular( 'post' ) ) {
        $layout = 'content-sidebar';
      } elseif ( 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', 'sidebar' );
          $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
        } else {
          $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_archive_layout', 'sidebar' );
          $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', 'sidebar' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( x_is_buddypress() ) {
        $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_buddypress_layout_content', 'sidebar' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( is_404() ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } else {
        $layout = $content_layout;
      }
    } else {
	  if ( is_home() || is_singular( 'post' ) ) {
             $layout = 'content-sidebar';
          }else{
	    $layout = $content_layout;
	  }
    }

    return $layout;

  }

That didn’t work either. many pages were still blank including the blog page.

Hi there,

The code is okay, checked it on my installation. Maybe you’re breaking existing code while adding it.

Please set WP_DEBUG to true under your site’s wp-config.php, and add the code and test it again. Then provide any error you get and make sure you’re appending the code, and no replacing the entire content of functions.php

And please provide your FTP login credentials as well.

Thanks!
