Divine – After-entry widget doesn't display on custom post types

[acleanplate]

Hello!

The After-Entry Widget does not display on custom post types ("recipes") which are created using the plugin WP Ultimate Recipe. I know this is a very simple fix and just need to know which file to edit and what code to drop in to get the widget to display on recipe-type posts.

I have been through Divine's support but have not received a helpful response.

TIA!

I have been through Divine’s support but have not received a helpful response.

You haven't indicated what the response you received was, but it's probably because the question you are asking is not a theme support question, it's a customization question. The third party theme developers (just like StudioPress) provide theme support, not customization assistance.

Try this tutorial by Carrie Dils: http://www.carriedils.com/after-entry-widget/ which discusses specifically adding the widget to custom post types.

Thank you, Susan! That is exactly what I needed. In case anyone else runs into a similar issue, here is the code I dropped into my functions.php file:

//* Register widget areas
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'after-entry',
	'name'        => __( 'After Entry', 'theme-prefix' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the after entry section.', 'theme-prefix' ),
) );
//* Hooks after-entry widget area to single posts
add_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'my_after_entry_widget'  ); 
function my_after_entry_widget() {
    if ( ! is_singular( 'recipe' ) )
    	return;
    genesis_widget_area( 'after-entry', array(
		'before' => '<div class="after-entry widget-area"><div class="wrap">',
		'after'  => '</div></div>',
    ) );
}

Where 'recipe' is the custom post type that was previously not displaying the after-entry widget.

What I wanted to know from Divine's support was where the after-entry widget area code like Carrie provides is located in their php files, because I thought all I would have to do is add is_singular( 'recipe') somewhere in the theme. Their answer was that I could hire them to do it for $50, but this really should have been a five-minute fix with no sweat if I'd just known up front which file I had to edit.

Thanks again, Susan!

One thing cdils post doesn't cover is using the after entry widget on both single posts and a custom post type.

To do this, you'll need to use an array with the conditional tag like this:

if ( is_singular(array('post','recipes')))
