Hi,

Thanks for writing in!

Please note that page template will not work if you have set your Content Layout to Full width under Layout and Design in the customizer.

However you can try adding this in your child theme’s functions.php file

 function x_get_content_layout() {

    $content_layout = x_get_option( 'x_layout_content' );

    if ( $content_layout != 'full-width' ) {
      if ( is_home() ) {
        $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_blog_layout' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( is_singular( 'post' ) ) {
        $meta   = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_x_post_layout', true );
        $layout = ( $meta == 'on' ) ? 'full-width' : $content_layout;
      } 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' );
          $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 {
        if ( 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';
      }
      $layout = $content_layout;
    }

    return $layout;

  }

Hope that helps.

Hello There,

If you want to display the page as fullwidth, no sidebar will appear because of course you want a fullwidth layout. This is what happen in your site. No sidebars are displaying because in the customizer, Appearance > Customize > Layout & Design > Content Layout you have set it to fullwidth. To override this setting, you’ll need to have a custom function added in your child theme’s functions.php file.

Since you already have your child theme active and ready, please insert this following code in your child theme’s functions.php file.

// Custom Page template layout
// =============================================================================
function x_get_content_layout() {

  $content_layout = x_get_option( 'x_layout_content' );

  if ( $content_layout != 'full-width' ) {
    if ( is_home() ) {
      $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_blog_layout' );
      $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
    } elseif ( is_singular( 'post' ) ) {
      $meta   = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_x_post_layout', true );
      $layout = ( $meta == 'on' ) ? 'full-width' : $content_layout;
    } 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' );
        $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 {
    if ( is_page_template( 'template-layout-content-sidebar.php' ) ) {
      $layout = 'content-sidebar';
    } elseif ( is_page_template( 'template-layout-sidebar-content.php' ) ) {
      $layout = 'sidebar-content';
    } else {
      $layout = $content_layout;
    }

  }
  
  return $layout;

}
