Renew portfolio sidebar - add categories etc + add top padding to global footer

[Lobsterass]

Hi!

Could you please advise how to:

1. Make my own portfolio item page sidebar, widget or global block on the right? I would like to add PRICE, TOPIC and CATEGORIES somehow.

2. My footer is covering content on all pages. What’s the best way to fix that?

Hello @Lobsterass,

Thanks for writing in!

1.) Please check out this old thread: Edit Portfolio Sidebar

Note: We are unable to provide support for customizations under our Support Policy. If you are unfamiliar with code and resolving potential conflicts, you may select our One or Care service for further assistance.

2.) Please edit your custom Footer and set the height of the bar to “auto”.

Best Regards.

Hi!

1. Thanx! I did exactly what it says in that old thread and the share box is now below on portfolio entry. Sorry for being so blonde, but how do I put in my own sidebar/widget/global (which kind should I do?) block on the right? I’ve selected Theme Options > Layout and design > content left, sidebar right.

2. Worked like a charm!

Thanx for being so awesome! <3

I’m not sure if sidebar is the way to do this but I believe this should show on portfolio entry, or no? Preferably, I believe I need custom post types (?) somehow to add PRICE, CATEGORY, TOPIC for each speaker=portfolio item.

Hi @Lobsterass,

The reason why your sidebar is not on the right side because you added some custom CSS to force the sidebar to be aligned on the left side. To put the sidebar to the right side, please remove this code in your Pro > Theme Options > CSS.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

Done. But I still don’t get WHERE to assign a sidebar to the portfolio page. I can’t get it on the page because there is no porfolio entry box to be selected on Appearance > Manage Sidebars or anywhere else (that I’ve found).

It would have been awesome to be able to put global blocks as sidebars on portfolio entry pages.

Hi @Lobsterass.

I just check your main portfolio page and the sidebar you assigned in the Appearance > Sidebar is working fine.

Main Portfolio Page:

Single Portfolio Page

The name of the sidebar is Björn Salomonsson.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

My global block only shows on the tag page (tag page is not a page I want): http://dev.aretalarna.se/talare-tag/lina-korsgren/

How do I get my global block on the portfolio entry page?

All this seems impossible to do. Should I just skip portfolio function and make regular pages instead? If so, how do I link The Grid gallery of these to the “regular pages” for each speaker? Tags?

Hello @Lobsterass,

To display the sidebar on your homepage, you need to assign the sidebar to your homepage first.

And then edit your homepage and change the page template from Blank - No Container | Header, Footer to just simply “Layout - Content Left | Sidebar Right” page template.

You can find it in the Page Attribute meta box:

And if you are editing in Cornerstone, find the Gear icon so that you can get to the Page Settings.

To know more about the different page templates in the theme, please check this out:

Please let us know if this works out for you.

@ruenel that was not what I asked.

I’m just wondering how I could target the different speakers in a categorized and filterable portfolio (of regular pages instead of portfolio pages) made with The Grid?

EDIT (for people with the same question)
I found a better solution than trying to custom change the portfolio. I now use CPT UI plugin to assign different categories to REGULAR pro pages, so that they can be part of a filterable portfolio made with the grid.

CUSTOM CODE TO REMOVE SIDEBAR ON THESE PAGES WHILE STILL KEEPING IT GLOBAL ON BLOG:
funtions.php

if ( is_singular(‘your-custom-posttype’) ) {

    $layout = 'full-width';

}
