Disable sidebar on select posts in Outreach Pro?

[styzer]

Hi all,

I'd like to disable the sidebar (it's on the right side) on certain pages. For example, I have embedded a PDF document, so it needs more elbow room. I tried Brad's code () but it didn't work. Unless I misunderstood and I have to edit TWO files? I only added the CSS code with the postid to the style.css.

I can see a layout selection on the pages admin, but not for the posts. Is this normal?

Thanks!

Andre

You can do that by selecting the Full Width Layout on the Page or Post itself. If you don't see layouts, then go up to Screen Options on a Page or Post, select Layouts and it will show up. No need for any special coding.

Thank you Anita,

Yes, that's what I thought, but there is no "layouts" options for the posts in the Outreach Pro theme. Here is what I have:

Revisions - Excerpt - Send Trackbacks - Custom Fields - Discussion - Comments - Slug - Author - Mega Main Options - Categories - Tags - Attributes - Featured Image

How would I add the "layout" option there?

Thanks!

[Anita]

You should see this on both pages and posts. Did you design the site yourself? Sometimes developers will hide theme settings. If you still do not see the Layouts - go to your user profile. Scroll down and check to see if you have Layout settings there. You don't need to do anything there - just look to see if it's there. If you don't, then there may be some code in your Functions.php file that is hiding it.

Yes, I see it there.

But you don't see it anywhere on your pages and posts - when you are in Edit mode? Scrolled all the way to the bottom? It's not there?

It's only there on the PAGES, but not on the POSTS in edit mode. That's what I find strange. I'm used to use this function, so why isn't it showing? M-y-s-t-e-r-y... 🙂

[Anita]

Can you add a screen shot of your full screen in here?

OK, so here is the EDIT page.

[Anita]

Go back to Brad's tutorials. You are using a Custom Post Type which requires an additional code. So go back to Brad's code, whatever that may be, and look for the instructions for adding that part.

Hi Anita,

Thank you for the reply.

So are you saying I should be adding TWO codes, one php and one css?

Regards,

Andre

[Anita]

I am not sure. I don't know what code you used by Brad to do what you've done. Go back to his tutorial and re-read his instructions.

This is the code Brad shares:

I don't know how to interpret it, though.

[Craig]

Can you try adding this line to your functions.php file styzer. You will need to replace 'your_custom_post_type' with the name given to your 'Prophecy' post type.

add_post_type_support( 'your_custom_post_type', 'genesis-layouts' );

Thanks Craig,

Here is where I added it:

// Register Custom Post Type
function prophecy_post_type() {

add_post_type_support( 'prophecy_post_type', 'genesis-layouts' );

	$labels = array(
		'name'                => _x( 'Prophecy Types', 'Post Type General Name', 'prophecy' ),
		'singular_name'       => _x( 'Prophecy', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'prophecy' ),
		'menu_name'           => __( 'Prophecy', 'prophecy' ),
		'parent_item_colon'   => __( 'Parent Item:', 'prophecy' ),
		'all_items'           => __( 'All Items', 'prophecy' ),
		'view_item'           => __( 'View Item', 'prophecy' ),
		'add_new_item'        => __( 'Add New Item', 'prophecy' ),
		'add_new'             => __( 'Add New', 'prophecy' ),
		'edit_item'           => __( 'Edit Item', 'prophecy' ),
		'update_item'         => __( 'Update Item', 'prophecy' ),
		'search_items'        => __( 'Search Item', 'prophecy' ),
		'not_found'           => __( 'Not found', 'prophecy' ),
		'not_found_in_trash'  => __( 'Not found in Trash', 'prophecy' ),
	);
	$args = array(
		'label'               => __( 'prophecy_type', 'prophecy' ),
		'description'         => __( 'Prophecy Type Description', 'prophecy' ),
		'labels'              => $labels,
		'supports'            => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'comments', 'trackbacks', 'revisions', 'custom-fields', 'page-attributes', 'post-formats', ),
		'taxonomies'          => array( 'category', 'post_tag' ),
		'hierarchical'        => false,
		'public'              => true,
		'show_ui'             => true,
		'show_in_menu'        => true,
		'show_in_nav_menus'   => true,
		'show_in_admin_bar'   => true,
		'menu_position'       => 5,
		'menu_icon'           => '',
		'can_export'          => true,
		'has_archive'         => true,
		'exclude_from_search' => false,
		'publicly_queryable'  => true,
		'capability_type'     => 'page',
	);
	register_post_type( 'prophecy_type', $args );
}

// Hook into the 'init' action
add_action( 'init', 'prophecy_post_type', 0 );

I also have this in my style.css:

.postid-6113 #sidebar {
display: none;
}

But when I go to my EDIT page for this post, I still don't see any layout options. What am I missing?

Regards,

Andre

Hi, could you try moving it out of the prophecy_post_type() function, and place it just after your add_action, so it looks like:

// Register Custom Post Type
function prophecy_post_type() {

	$labels = array(
		'name'                => _x( 'Prophecy Types', 'Post Type General Name', 'prophecy' ),
		'singular_name'       => _x( 'Prophecy', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'prophecy' ),
		'menu_name'           => __( 'Prophecy', 'prophecy' ),
		'parent_item_colon'   => __( 'Parent Item:', 'prophecy' ),
		'all_items'           => __( 'All Items', 'prophecy' ),
		'view_item'           => __( 'View Item', 'prophecy' ),
		'add_new_item'        => __( 'Add New Item', 'prophecy' ),
		'add_new'             => __( 'Add New', 'prophecy' ),
		'edit_item'           => __( 'Edit Item', 'prophecy' ),
		'update_item'         => __( 'Update Item', 'prophecy' ),
		'search_items'        => __( 'Search Item', 'prophecy' ),
		'not_found'           => __( 'Not found', 'prophecy' ),
		'not_found_in_trash'  => __( 'Not found in Trash', 'prophecy' ),
	);
	$args = array(
		'label'               => __( 'prophecy_type', 'prophecy' ),
		'description'         => __( 'Prophecy Type Description', 'prophecy' ),
		'labels'              => $labels,
		'supports'            => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'comments', 'trackbacks', 'revisions', 'custom-fields', 'page-attributes', 'post-formats', ),
		'taxonomies'          => array( 'category', 'post_tag' ),
		'hierarchical'        => false,
		'public'              => true,
		'show_ui'             => true,
		'show_in_menu'        => true,
		'show_in_nav_menus'   => true,
		'show_in_admin_bar'   => true,
		'menu_position'       => 5,
		'menu_icon'           => '',
		'can_export'          => true,
		'has_archive'         => true,
		'exclude_from_search' => false,
		'publicly_queryable'  => true,
		'capability_type'     => 'page',
	);
	register_post_type( 'prophecy_type', $args );
}

// Hook into the 'init' action
add_action( 'init', 'prophecy_post_type', 0 );
add_post_type_support( 'prophecy_type', 'genesis-layouts' );

THAT'S IT!!!

That was the missing piece. So when we create custom posts type hard-coding the functions.php file, it is important to include this snippet of code we we gain the same options as regular posts.

I will add this to my other custom post types.

Thanks again Anita, and Craig!

Andre

[Craig]

Yes, likewise there is a similar addition required if you want to include the Genesis SEO settings. For reference, it is

add_post_type_support( 'your_custom_post_type', 'genesis-seo' );

Thanks Craig, I'll make sure to add this too.
