Add Sidebar to Single Post only – No Sidebar Theme

[Nigel1985]

How can I add a sidebar for the 'No Sidebar' theme? I would like to add a primary sidebar on the right side for Single Post entries only.

I did find the code to reverse the unregistration of the sidebar widgets and layouts but the layout does not appear as an option in the layout drop down.

//* Remove sidebars
unregister_sidebar( 'sidebar' );
unregister_sidebar( 'sidebar-alt' );

//* Remove site layouts
genesis_unregister_layout( 'content-sidebar' );
genesis_unregister_layout( 'sidebar-content' );
genesis_unregister_layout( 'content-sidebar-sidebar' );
genesis_unregister_layout( 'sidebar-content-sidebar' );
genesis_unregister_layout( 'sidebar-sidebar-content' );

Are you using block editor? I see you're using a page builder on that site.

I am using a Page Builder — shouldn't I just be able to select a different page layout?

[AnitaC]

The location of the Layouts is in a different spot. If you're using Classic Editor, the Page Layout is at the bottom of below the editor on single pages/posts. If you're using Block Editor, you should select the little G top right corner and then you'll see the Layout selector. You should also be able to see the Layouts under Genesis > Theme Settings > Page Layouts.

I am using Beaver Builder and creating a Themer Layout for single posts. I don't see to have those options.

Did you remove this:

unregister_sidebar( 'sidebar' );

and this:

 genesis_unregister_layout( 'content-sidebar' );

from the functions.php file?

Yes, I did. I can select a diff layout if I create a new page but I can't seem to. select it when building a page using Beaver Builder.

[AnitaC]

Correct, when you're using page builders some of them will deactivate certain things. I'd suggest joining the Beaver Builder group on Facebook and asking them there were they are more familiar with their product and how it works with your theme and Genesis. Especially since No Sidebar didn't include the sidebar.
