Hi @ionadmin
Genesis Author Pro replaces the sidebar on book pages with custom content specific to each book.
If you fill out the book meta data and purchase links, you’ll see more content in the sidebar, as in the theme demo: https://demo.studiopress.com/author/book/midnight-on-earth/.
If you are not using the book meta data or would prefer to replace the custom book template with a regular page template that gives you sidebar options, you could:
1. Create a single-books.php file in the Author Pro theme.
2. Place this content in that file:
<?php
// Use the regular template for single books, instead of the custom one.
remove_filter( 'genesis_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );
genesis();
3. Place this code at the bottom of the theme’s functions.php file:
add_post_type_support( 'books', 'genesis-layouts' );
WordPress will then display the books as if they are regular pages, and you’ll be able to select a content-sidebar, sidebar-content, or full-width layout.
Note that you’ll see page meta data (the publish date) on the book template, and will have to add the book image manually as a result of these changes. You could modify the single-books.php template further to hide the meta data and auto-insert the featured image if you wish.
