• Hi. So I wanted different layouts on different pages. First I tried changing the $evolve_layout variable but saw no change. Then I made custom pages and just fiddled with the PHP to remove sidebars when I wanted them removed and extend the main body to fill the empty space left by the removed sidebar(s). Unfortunately, I have just realized that this has disrupted the site’s responsive nature, cutting off parts of my website when the browser window is resized of when viewed on mobile.

    So after I restore the PHP, how do I change the layouts for individual pages? Thanks for any help you can provide.

    As an alternative, I realized the problem with my previous solution was that I was setting the width to a fixed pixel length instead of a percent. Obviously responsiveness was not in mind when I made that decision :p. So I notice that the sidebar and body take up different percentages of the screen depending on the size of the screen (and if the screen is a non-standard size such as a manually adjusted browser the percentages will not change thus making the site look not quite as pretty). I guess this is the responsive part. I’m just not seeing where this is coded for in the PHP so that I can change the layout on each page to how I want it while retaining the responvie nature of the width of the body, thus having my cake and eating it too.

    Ok so yeah, update number 2. I saw on my dashboard that you all had an update, so I implemented that and saw that now each page can choose its own layout as far as the sidebars go, which is great. Two issues, though:

    1) There is no true “No Sidebar” option. I have one page on my site that I wish to not have sidebars. I can easily rectify this with having a custom page with no sidebars and 100% width, but was wondering if you all could implement a button that would truly remove sidebars on a page while the other pages have one or more sidebars.

    2) One solution I tried was simply to set my general layout to no sidebars, and then simply set my other pages to 1 or 2 sidebars. When I did this, though, my Sidebar2 does shows nothing. The page is making space for it, but nothing appears. When I set my layout back to two sidebars, Sidebar 2 does show up then. Seems like just a minor bug that could easily be fixed.
