Full width post not full width – Parallax Pro

[khull]

Website is: http://cooladventures.com/ I have my default settings set to have a right sidebar but I want to override to full width on certain post. While the page is centering, it isn't full width. Also, the sidebar appeared at the bottom. I went in an hid it through the widgets - which I had to fake out with a blank text box to get it to go away for now. This makes me think it's not actually using full width and is just pushing the sidebar below.

Example: http://cooladventures.com/relax-and-recharge-at-harbour-village-beach-club-in-bonaire/

Any ideas what is wrong? Thanks.

Hi,

you can increase the width of the posts by changing the padding around line 1388 in the style.css

.full-width-content .content {
    padding: 0px 200px 50px;
    width: 100%;
}

You can set 200px to 0px for more width.

Make sure you are running the latest version of Genesis. There was a bug in one of the previous versions that prevented the layout settings on single posts/pages from working.

HI Christoph,
I tried that before I posted here, since that seemed like it would do it, but it didn't. I just tried it again and still doesn't change it.

It is .full-width-content .content {
padding: 0 0px 50px;
width: 100%;
}
now and still doesn't work.

I am on 4.4.1 and both Genesis and Parallax Pro are updated.

Thanks, Kim

Make sure to clear your browser cache and cookies: http://screencast.com/t/oQ0o64PF

Do you have an URL where the sidebar is showing at the bottom?

Duh - when, I cleared the cache it is working. I turned the visibility of one widget back on for that category so you can see it at the bottom of http://cooladventures.com/puerto-ricos-kid-friendly-el-conquistador-resort/.

I cannot replicate the problem on a local site.
What are you using to show or hide the widgets (Jetpack, Widget Logic...)?

I went back and took all of the show/hides off so now you should be able to see the full sidebar below the content on http://cooladventures.com/puerto-ricos-kid-friendly-el-conquistador-resort/ or any of the full-width posts that all link from http://cooladventures.com/where-to-stay/

My workaround to get rid of them is to use the widget visibility (the button by save on any widget - like a text box or something). Because all of the full width pages are in the same category, I set the visibility on every widget in primary sidebar to hide when it's that category. Then, the problem was that that text comes up when you first install the site "This is a primary sidebar where something goes..." comes up. So, if I take an empty blank text box and set the visibility to show for that category, it makes the "This is a primary sidebar where something goes..." go away.

I know it's not a real fix, but it works. It's like when you make margins to wide on a regular page/post and it pushes the side bar below the content.

Thanks for all of your help!

Hi Kim,

you are only seeing the "This is the primary..." message because you are logged in.
Visitors will not see it.

If you are choosing a full-width layout for a category/post/page, you should not have to hide the sidebar to begin with.
WordPress will automatically remove/not show the sidebar for those posts.

Yes, but WordPress is not removing them. I have checked in Firefox, Safari and Chrome, logged in or not. They are there on full width posts. http://cooladventures.com/puerto-ricos-kid-friendly-el-conquistador-resort/

I know it can be very frustrating when things are not working as they should.

WordPress does not show the "Primary Sidebar Widget Area - This is the Primary..." text to visitors / non-logged-in users

Something is apparently overriding the Genesis Layout Settings.
I could not reproduce that Widget Visibility is forcing the sidebars to show when the full-width layout is selected.
If you are not conditionally showing/hiding sidebars anywhere else on your website, I would recommend to (temporarily) disable Widget Visibility in Jetpack and see if that resets the display of the widgets.

BUT if everything else is working as it should and the way you like it, you can also just add this to your style.css to hide the sidebars on all full-width posts or pages:

.full-width-content .sidebar {
    display: none;
}

I disabled widget visibility and it still shows. I added the CSS and it still shows.

It isn't a big deal - I'll turn widget visibility and set them not to show them on that category and it accomplishes it. Maybe it's a plugin conflict.

Thanks so much for all of your help!
