MemberI'm customizing the eleven40 pro theme and was wondering if there's an easy way to change the order of the sidebar widgets on a specific page layout.
The default eleven40 page layout is "Secondary Sidebar" / "Content" / "Primary Sidebar" .
I've created a submenu for each section in my "secondary sidebar" on the far left, so each default page displays as... nav / content / sidebar... my problem is that when I go to change the layout settings of a page to use the (sidebar-content) layout -- it shows up as "Primary Sidebar" / "Content" and I lose my submenu.Is there a way to swap the way the menus display so on the theme setting "sidebar/content" I can make it show "secondary-sidebar" instead of "primary-sidebar"?

KeymasterTry using the Genesis Layout Extras. It give you additional layout options and then you can select this option just for that one page.
Need help with customization or troubleshooting? Reach out to me.

MemberThat's a neat plugin, but unfortunately didn't have the layout option I was looking for.

MemberSidebars.
The layouts are:
3 column --> Sidebar (secondary) / Content / Sidebar (primary)
2 column --> Sidebar (primary) / ContentI want the two column layout to be ---> Sidebar (secondary) / Content
so that it matches the order of the 3 column layout.

ParticipantIf you want to display in Eleven40 two columns only, as:
secondary / content
(aka "alt-sidebar / content")I can confirm that Genesis Layout Extras does this.
If this is not working for you, please describe the method you tried with the plugin to achieve your desired layout.

MemberSilly me, I opened the page --> layout settings and only saw the additional two layouts. Had to go into the plugin settings and turn the other ones on.
Thanks Tom, got it now!

ParticipantNo worries, Mike. Love those plugins from David Decker.

MemberMy goal is to switch the primary and secondary columns in the three-column layout, such that the primary column is on the left. I installed this plugin, and chose the S/C/SAlt layout, and the result was that both the Primary and Secondary widgets appeared _on top of each other_ in the left-hand column:
Any ideas why this could be happening?

ParticipantDid you click the checkbox to load the style sheets via the plugin? https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-layout-extras/screenshots/

MemberHi Carasmo — well, that did the trick! Since those were optional, I didn't select them. It would seem that if the layouts don't work otherwise, they should be required? Thanks again!

MemberWell, drat — Now that, with your help, I've gotten the plugin to work, I've discovered that the three-column layout increases the width of the primary sidebar. So my wish-list for the plugin would include managing the percentage widths of the three columns. 🙂

ParticipantYou can edit the percentages in the layout, go to the plugin, click edit, find the file (gle-layout-3col-html5-styles.css ??) on the right sidebar and adjust the percentages. When the plugin updates, these changes will need to be re-applied ... or fork the plugin ... or (better) re-register the child theme's style.css to show up last and add your styles there (https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-style-trump/). If you add your styles in style.css (after you use the style-trump plugin) then be sure to include the max-width media queries following it so that small devices get the correct styles.
November 25, 2015 at 8:27 am #171997carasmo
ParticipantThey are optional only because you can add these yourself in your style.css file by copying out the one in the plugin, and adding it in your style.css. Which, now that I think about it, if you do that, you would uncheck it and then you won't need to change the priority (not use the trump plugin).

MemberThanks again, Carasmo. By the way, in case it would become necessary, do you happen to provide Genesis/theme support on a freelance basis?

MemberI just looked at the gle-layout-3col-html5-styles.css file, and couldn't make heads or tails of it. I saw numbers that didn't seem to add up to 100%, and edits I made to the file didn't have any affects when I reloaded the page to which they should be applied.
Here's the part I think is relevant:
/* Sidebar/Content/Sidebar-Alt */ .sidebar-content-sidebaralt .sidebar-primary { float: left; margin-right: 2%; width: 29%; } .sidebar-content-sidebaralt .content-sidebar-wrap { float: right; width: 68%; } .sidebar-content-sidebaralt .content { float: left; margin-left: 1%; width: 69%; } .sidebar-content-sidebaralt .sidebar-secondary { float: right; width: 25%; }
Any suggestions?
