Sidebar Won't Appear

tinarose7 — Tue, 12 May 2015 21:50:10 +0000

I’m using Icon and was able to get the sidebar to appear on our blog – http://liquidtext.net/blog/. This page is set to template – “Layout – Content Left, Sidebar Right”

However, when I try implementing a different sidebar – http://liquidtext.net/product/features/, it will only appear if that page’s template is set to “default template.” But I do not want to use this template as it adds in the page title and comments field, and I do not want these to appear on the page.

Thank you for your help.

Hi there,

Blog page doesn’t response to page templates, you have sidebar in blog page because you set content layout to display sidebar under Customize -> Layout and design, and selected ‘Use Global Content Layout’ under ‘ Customize -> Blog.

To remove comment section please disable ‘allow comments’ option under ‘discussion’ section inside individula page/posts.

If you wish to disable commenting system globally you can do this under Settings -> Discussion.
You can disable page’s title under ‘Page settings’ section inside individual pages.

Also you can select other page templates.

Hope it helps.

Thank you. This was not appearing for me. I had to adjust the page so that I had this option by going to Screen Options at the top right corner of the screen and enabling Discussion option.

Is there anyway to get the sidebar to appear in another template? For example, I want the content bar background color to go the full width of the page the way it would in the “no container” tempaltes. However, if I switch, then I don’t get the sidebar. Any way to work around this? Thanks,
Tina

Hi there,

Only page templates with sidebar display sidebar on page. In regards with what you try to achieve would you provide us with some screen shot, we may be able to provide you with a solution.

Thanks.

Here are two screenshots. In the first, I am using default template so that the sidebar appears. When I give the first section, where it says “read smarter with liquidtext” a background color, the color does not extend to the borders. In the second screenshot, I am using a different template. The background color of the first section extends all the way to the borders.

I’m hoping to have a page that includes the sidebar, as in the first screenshot, but also has a background color of the top section that extends all the way to the borders, as in the second screenshot. Thank you for your help.

Hi again,

Thank you for providing the screenshots, this can be achieved with the default page template. Keep the default page template and add the following code in your Customizer via Appearance > Customize > Custom > CSS:

.entry-wrap .x-container.width {
  width: 100% !important;
  margin: 0 !important;
}

.page .hentry .entry-content {
  width: 96% !important;
  margin: 0 auto !important;
}

Let us know how this goes!

That did not work. It pushed all content over to the left

Hello There,

Sorry if it didn’t worked out for you. How about we try this code instead, please replace the code we gave you with this code below

.entry-wrap > .x-container.max.width {
  width: 100% !important;
  max-width: 100%;
  margin: 0 auto !important;
}

.entry-wrap .x-content-band .x-container {
  max-width: 950px;
}

Hope this helps. Kindly let us know.
