Create new layout: Secondary Sidebar / Content (No Primary)

[SethResler]

How can I add a new layout option: Secondary Sidebar / Content (no primary sidebar). I only want to use this layout on specific pages, so I'd like to have it as a layout option. Thanks!

Try this tutorial by Carrie Dils:

 

Genesis Theme Tutorial: Get Rid of the Primary Sidebar (but Keep the Secondary!)

[SethResler]

Thanks, that was very useful!

This tutorial is great, but there is no "custom class" option for the layout on Category or Tag archives. What can I do for these pages?

To follow up, I also have BBPress installed, and I want to remove the primary sidebar on the BBPress pages. Is there a function that can check for a particular custom post type, and then remove the primary sidebar on that post type? Thanks!

Alternatively, maybe a template?

Thanks!

I figured it out. This goes in functions.php:

`

//** Add sidebar-alt-content layout **//
genesis_register_layout( 'sidebar-alt-content', array(
'label' => 'Small Sidebar/Content',
'img' => CHILD_URL . '/images/sidebar-alt-content',
) );

add_action('genesis_before', 'gt_new_custom_layout_logic');
function gt_new_custom_layout_logic() {

$site_layout = genesis_site_layout();

if ( $site_layout == 'sidebar-alt-content' ) {
// Remove default genesis sidebars
remove_action( 'genesis_after_content', 'genesis_get_sidebar' );
remove_action( 'genesis_after_content_sidebar_wrap', 'genesis_get_sidebar_alt');
add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'genesis_get_sidebar_alt' );

}
}
