Changing 'Services' Page Template

  • Hey all,

    So I’m not a php developer and only mildly aware of HTM/CSS however I’m attempting this all the same ??

    I’m essentially trying to change the layout of the ‘services-view’ page, as can be found here https://www.effectivebusiness.org/wordpress/services-view/businessplan/ (please ignore the horrible content! It’s WIP!) and I’m not having much luck.

    I initially stated in the parent theme, just commenting out (<!–) the sidebar stuff, which hid it but didn’t allow the content to go fullpage, so I moved the commenting up a set of div tags and viola, the sidebar went, and the content went 100% however the video now vanished!

    I’ve played around in the parent theme but I understand as soon as I update I’ll loose that content so I read on how to add a new template to the child theme, which I did… named ‘page-services-view.php’ and it shows in > EDITOR.

    I also then read you need two page templates in order to have them display, so I simply copied over page.php via ftp.

    The issue seems to be that the Services (Edit) page in WP-Admin doesn’t have a dropdown for the page layout, it’s fixed and me adding those two page templates hasn’t kicked it into action.

    Any help appreciated!

    Neil.

  • Hi, have the same problem here with this services-view thing, it’s actually quite rare stuff in WP themes – as i understood. If you will solve this problem – please – let me know.

    There were problems even in including those pages in main header menu – because THEY ARE NOT PAGES – can’t re-link them, had to use little cheating with menu editor in WP-admin.

    The only solution i found was complete removing of this stuff and re-writing it in simple html, but it just doesn’t make any sense – this thing must work and must be easily edited – or else – why would we need this complications.

    I will also add some comments abou this stuff:

    — Can’t use MotoPress CE to modify this services layout – WHY?
    — As a resault – can’t add sub-menu paths from those pages in main navbar.

    P.S. – sorry for my bad English
