Daily Dish: Full width not working

[ellenstumbo]

I am trying to set up my Daily Dish theme to be full width. I have changed it in the default settings, I have changed it in the theme customize tab, even made sure it is correct in the actual page setup and everything seem so be set to full width and still nothing, that pesky sidebar still shows up. it is only a problem in my home page, all other pages seem to be full width. What am I missing?

I probably have to change something here but no idea what or where:

*/
function daily_dish_home_genesis_meta() {

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-top' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-middle' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-bottom' ) ) {

// Force content-sidebar layout setting
add_filter( 'genesis_site_layout', '__genesis_return_content_sidebar' );

// Add daily-dish-home body class
add_filter( 'body_class', 'daily_dish_body_class' );

// Remove the default Genesis loop
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );

// Add homepage widgets
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'daily_dish_homepage_widgets' );

}

I just checked the Daily Dish Pro theme files ... which has the Content-Sidebar layout fixed for static front pages 🙂

Try taking out the following lines from the front-page.php file in your main theme folder:

// Force content-sidebar layout setting
add_filter( 'genesis_site_layout', '__genesis_return_content_sidebar' );

You found the right place. Remember to clear W3 Total Cache after you have applied the change.

Okay, silly question but how do you clear the W3 Total cache?

[Erik D. Slater]

Not a silly question at all 🙂

Click on the "Performance" tab down the left-hand side of your admin dashboard. That'll take you into the W3TC dashboard ... where you will see an option to "empty all caches".

I see your site is now in Maintenance Mode ... but I had noticed earlier that you applied the change and it worked 🙂

Erik,

I did that because the site is still a mess and I am slower than a snail getting it fixed (I have to google almost everything I do, I am pretty sure wordperss configuration is not my gifting). However, I have it back up for now.

So, it doesn't let me empty all caches, do you know why? I see the button but it is not clickable (if that makes sense)

[ellenstumbo]

Okay, never mind, I see that option now more clearly when I click on the performance tab at the top, and that makes it easy. Thank you!

[Erik D. Slater]

Yep ... that makes sense ... and it likely means you haven't got W3TC configured at the moment ... which means there is nothing to clear 🙂
