Making posts full-width posts using Custom Post Template doesn't work

    Hi Dmitry,
    Did I mention Maker is a gorgeous theme? It is ??

    I have another question: I want specific blog posts (for example those dedicated to photography) to be full-width, utilizing the full-width page template, which works great with pages (like here for example: https://mike.polischuk.net/trip-to-georgia-and-armenia/ ).

    To make the fullwidth template work for posts, I installed the “Custom Post Template” plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-post-template/), and copy-pasted the fullwidth.php file to template’s home-dir, changing the header, as requested by the plugin (here is my fullwidth.php after the change: https://pastebin.com/Lr7QYWi7). Now, if I open a post edit screen in WordPress, I have the option to select template for the post, either Default or Full-Width. After selecting Full-Width, updating the post and reloading, I get this: https://mike.polischuk.net/2015/10/petra-day-1/ . As you see, the sidebar is indeed removed, but the main content area still occupies the same narrow strip, instead of utilizing the full width of the page.

    Any idea how to make this work?

    Thanks a lot,
    Mike

    Hello Mike, I know that issue is already solved, since we’ve sorted it out over email, and the child theme is done, so I’m posting the answer here just in case somebody else have similar requests.

    Unfortunately, the fullwidth template is only available for pages, sorry. But this behaviour can be overridden with a custom-built child theme. You can build it yourself, using our starter child theme for Maker, or we can do it for you as a part of our Priority Support plan. Let us know if this is something you are interested in.
