    Blog posts page inherits default page layout and changes to blog page directly, either through the options on the page editor screen or via filter in the home.php file are ineffective.

    I've noticed this since the WordPress update to 4.2.2.

    I just checked in my localhost version of Centric Pro on WordPress 4.2.2. I created a blog page, gave it the blog template and set it at full width. No problem. Am I not understanding your question? Have you checked in your functions.php to make sure you aren't forcing a certain layout on every page?

    Yup, checked all functions to make sure I wasn't filtering the layout. I even tried filtering the layout to be what I wanted it to be. No go.

    Here's how you reproduce:

    1 - don't use the blog template. Instead go to Settings > Reading and set the Posts page.
    2 - set default page layout in Genesis options to full width
    3 - go to posts page and set layout to content-sidebar

    Result:

    full-width-content class remains in the <body> tag, so sidebar is pushed below the content

    Workaround:

    - set default layout to whatever you want your posts page to be.
    - choose other layouts for individual pages as needed

    EDIT:

    If I create a home.php page and add the proper filter, I can change the layout that way.
