replace default sidebar on Custom Post Type archive and posts

[martinduys]

I am trying to replace the default sidebar on the pages and archive of a custom post type that I have created called 'reviews' with a custom sidebar that I have created using Simple Sidebars.

The following code added to my functions.php file displays the custom sidebard fine, but does NOT remove the default sidebar.

/*
* Replace the default sidebar on the Reviews pages and archive
*
*
*/
add_action( 'get_header', 'bge_swap_sidebars' );
function bge_swap_sidebars() {

if ( is_singular('reviews' ) || is_post_type_archive( 'reviews' ) ) {

remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'ss_do_sidebar' );
add_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'reviews_sidebar' );
}
}

function reviews_sidebar() {
dynamic_sidebar( 'chefsrecipes' );
}

I have been going round and round in circles on this and would really appreciate some help.

Apologies for ugly code above. I'm reposting:
`

/*
* Replace the default sidebar on the Reviews pages and archive
*
*
*/
add_action( ‘get_header’, ‘bge_swap_sidebars’ );
function bge_swap_sidebars() {

if ( is_singular(‘reviews’ ) || is_post_type_archive( ‘reviews’ ) ) {

remove_action( ‘genesis_sidebar’, ‘ss_do_sidebar’ );
add_action( ‘genesis_sidebar’, ‘reviews_sidebar’ );
}
}

function reviews_sidebar() {
dynamic_sidebar( ‘chefsrecipes’ );
}

I finally found the solution here thanks to David Chu
I am also using Genesis Connecto for Woocommerce and so need to add an additional line:

remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'gencwooc_ss_do_sidebar' );
So the full piece looks like this:

function bge_swap_sidebar() {
  if ( is_singular('reviews' ) || is_post_type_archive( 'reviews'  ) ) {
	remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'ss_do_sidebar' );	
	remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar' );
	remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'gencwooc_ss_do_sidebar' );
    add_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'reviews_sidebar' );
  }
}

function reviews_sidebar() {
	dynamic_sidebar( 'chefsrecipes' );
}
add_action( 'genesis_before_sidebar_widget_area', 'bge_swap_sidebar' );
