Sidebar only on post pages

looplay — Wed, 26 Aug 2015 18:49:43 +0000

Hi There,

I’d like to keep the homepage as a masonry full wide style but then use a sidebar on post pages and archives but I can’t find an option to manage that.

May I ask you for a solution I can apply to achieve that. A little help on that would be very appreciated. Thanks.

My Best!

Hi looplay,

this solution involves changes in the PHP templates.

– Set the “Theme Options -> Blog Options -> Blog Sidebar” to value “On”. This will be the setting for all dynamic pages.

– We now need to update the “home.php” file for the blog overview page and hardcode the settings to no sidebar. To manage this do not edit it directly but use the starter child theme we provide. Copy the “home.php” file from the parent theme root into the root of the child theme. Now edit it in a text editor and add this code:

// Template overrides
$ish_options['show_blog_sidebar'] = '0'; // 0, 1

1 2	// Template overrides $ish_options['show_blog_sidebar'] = '0'; // 0, 1

Add the code just before the line:

$blog_style = ( isset( $ish_options ) && isset( $ish_options['blog_overview_style'] ) ) ? $ish_options['blog_overview_style'] : 'classic';

This will override the settings and manually turn off the sidebar for home page.

Now just upload and activate the child theme.

Cheers
