Altitude Pro blog & full width layout Issue with sidebar

[keithalpichi]

Hello,

I like the full width layout that I have currently set for my site on the front page and all other pages. However, I'd like to have the content/sidebar layout ONLY applied to the blog page (different from the full width content layout in the Altitude Pro demo).

I have the default layout settings set to "full width content". My front page is static with my posts set to "blog". When I go into editing the "blog" page I don't get the choice to select the layout.

There's only one solution I could think of, to set the default to content/sidebar and readjust each individual page to full width. There has to be a way around this.

How do I set all pages as full width but set the blog page as content/sidebar?

Thank you in advance.
Keith

(ps. my site is currently in maintenance mode as I am editing it.)

Hi,

if I understand you correctly, you have set a page named "blog" as "post page" under Settings - Reading - Front page displays, correct?

In this case, you can use the following code from Brad Dalton.
I only adjusted if (is_archive()) to if(is_home())

/** Force full width layout on all archive pages*/
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', 'full_width_layout_archives' );
/**
* @author Brad Dalton
* @link http://wpsites.net/web-design/change-layout-genesis/
*/
function full_width_layout_archives( $opt ) {
if ( is_home() ) {
    $opt = 'full-width-content'; 
    return $opt;
     } 
  }

Hi Christoph,

Yes correct. The posts page is set to "blog."

I have little knowledge in code so where do I place this code and do I edit the @author and @link with my details?

[Christoph]

Hi,

you can add the code at the bottom of functions.php.

@author and @link give attribution to the source/author of the code.

Ok. It doesn't do anything. Blog is still in content only (no sidebar) content.

[Christoph]

Ok,

use this code instead:

/** Force content-sidebar layout on blog page*/
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', 'content_sidebar_layout_blog' );
/**
* @author Brad Dalton
* @link http://wpsites.net/web-design/change-layout-genesis/
*/
function content_sidebar_layout_blog( $opt ) {
if ( is_home() ) {
    $opt = 'content-sidebar'; 
    return $opt;
     } 
  }

It works, thanks Christoph. Do you know the code to get the sidebar on single posts as well?

[Christoph]

Try this:

/** Force content-sidebar layout on blog page*/
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', 'content_sidebar_layout_blog' );
/**
* @author Brad Dalton
* @link http://wpsites.net/web-design/change-layout-genesis/
*/
function content_sidebar_layout_blog( $opt ) {
if ( is_home()  || is_single () ) {
    $opt = 'content-sidebar'; 
    return $opt;
     } 

}

I'm getting a white screen and fatal error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare content_sidebar_layout_blog() (previously declared in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas02_data01/50/2068650/html/wp-content/themes/altitude-pro/functions.php:245) in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas02_data01/50/2068650/html/wp-content/themes/altitude-pro/functions.php on line 262

How can I get to the theme editor?

[Christoph]

Hi,

you have to login to your cPanel and use the file manager or use FTP to get to the functions.php.
The functions.php is in /wp-content/themes/altitude-pro/

You cannot keep the old code in the file, you have to replace it.

Got it! I just restored my site through Godaddy.
