How to set custom layout width on certain posts?

Hello @jayceezay,

All the customizer settings in Astra can be filtered. Here is an example how you the value of Site Content Width can be changed using the filter.

add_filter(
	'astra_get_option_site-content-width',
	function( $width ) {
		if ( has_category('block') ) {
			$width = 900;
		}

		return $width;
	}
);

In this change the slug block to the slug of the category you want and change the value of $width as per your needs.

You can change the if condition if customize this even further as you wish.

Hi @nikschavan ,

Thanks! Good to know that it can be done in Astra. I mainly just blog and am not a developer, but I roughly get what you wrote above. Could you let me know where I should paste and insert the code you provided?

Thanks again!

Hi @jayceezay,

A simplest way I would recommend is adding this code snippet using a WordPress plugin Code Snippets. This page also gives more information about how you can add snippets using this plugin.

Thank you @nikschavan! That worked out well for me. The 900 container $width in your example was what I used. If I may pose another question – How do I set the sidebar as a certain percentage of the 900 container $width? Thanks again!

Hey @jayceezay,

You can add below custom code to manage sidebar width.

add_filter( 'astra_get_option_site-sidebar-width', 
	function ( $width ) {
		if ( has_category('block') ) {
			// This width is in percentage.
			$width = 20;
		}
		return $width;
	}
); 

Just modify number 20 here as per your requirement.

Please let me know if you have any further queries.
