Ha! I’m going to owe you guys a really, really, really big bottle of Advil!

??

Thank you ~

OOPS. I wrote too soon.

It removes the sidebar on ALL of her posts.

Perhaps this is something that just cannot be achieved.

SUCCESS!! Kevin – It worked! Thank you! I never thought of just using “.zippy” Hand-smacks-forehead. Thank you – thank you to both you and Hannah for sticking with me on this one. Phew!

You two are awesome!!

Hi Hannah,

In the Post Edit page there is nothing called “Post Options” – neither in the Screen options up top or on the side of the post. (I do see “Post Options” listed under Screen Options on her regular blog posts – but nothing else on those pages that says “Post Options”. She doesn’t seem to have the ability to select “fullwidth” on any of her posts. Only on her Pages.)

In my first question, I posted the CSS I tried to use to hide the sidebar on a particular post – it was this:

.postid-25332 .kad-sidebar {
display: none;}

But that did not hide the sidebar. I wondered if the CSS selector I was using was incorrect or perhaps incomplete? Would you have a different suggestion for CSS that I could try instead?

Thanks for hanging in here with me – I know this must be frustrating. ??

Hi – is there perhaps a way to create a custom single post template that lets her remove the sidebar from specific “posts”?

My problem is that I am not well-versed in PHP – and she is using a child theme. So I’m Googling.

But when I look at instructions for creating a single post template – I am not sure which of the files inside of the virtue theme I am supposed to copy in order to build a new template in her child theme. (or what the code is for allowing her to remove a sidebar from specific posts)

In cPanel – in her Virtue theme – the single.php file only has a single line of code:<?php get_template_part( ‘templates/content’, ‘single’ ); ?>

I’m not sure how to build a template for single posts without a sidebar from that.

In index.php there is the following:

<?php
if ( ! defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) {
exit; // Exit if accessed directly
}
/**
* @hooked virtue_page_title – 20
*/
do_action( ‘virtue_page_title_container’ );
global $virtue_sidebar;
$virtue_sidebar = true;
?>

<div id=”content” class=”container”>
<div class=”row”>
<div class=”main <?php echo esc_attr( virtue_main_class() ); ?> postlist” role=”main”>

<?php if ( !have_posts() ) : ?>
<div class=”alert”>
<?php esc_html_e( ‘Sorry, no results were found.’, ‘virtue’ ); ?>
</div>
<?php get_search_form();
endif;

while (have_posts()) : the_post();
get_template_part( ‘templates/content’, get_post_format() );
endwhile;

/**
* @hooked virtue_pagination – 10
*/
do_action( ‘virtue_pagination’ );
?>

</div><!– /.main –>

Is there a way to create a single post template from this file that would give her the ability to remove the sidebar on specific posts without removing it on all pages or other posts?

Thanks!

I discovered that I cannot remove the sidebar from any of her “Posts”.

I can remove the sidebar from all of her Pages when I change the Default Page Template to “No Sidebar”.

But I tried removing the sidebar on several of her blog posts using the Default Page Template – no Sidebar – method and nothing happened. And each Zippy Course is set up in a “Post”, not on a “Page”.

Is there a way to remove a sidebar from actual Posts instead of Pages?

Maggie

Hi Hannah –

Just a quick follow up – I went in and changed the Default Page Template to “No Sidebar” and nothing changed. The sidebar is still there and the Page Attributes selection does not appear in the screen options.

I am really stumped. Phew.

Hi Hannah,

I apologize for the late reply – I was at work today –

I just checked in Page/Post settings and she has “Default Page Template – Yes Sidebar”.

If I have my client select the “No Sidebar” option – does that remove the sidebar from all of her posts/pages and somehow give her back the Page Attributes selection so she can choose which posts/pages to have her sidebar appear on?

She also has “Single Page Width Content” set to “Contained” – not sure if that matters or not.

Thanks,

Maggie

Hi Kevin,
I have a feeling it might be the plugin – but I am never sure. Here are the screenshots. I’ll follow up with the folks over at Zippy Courses. Just thought if there was a way to hide a sidebar on specific pages/posts in the Virtue Child theme using CSS – that could resolve the issue.

Hi Hannah,

I took a screenshot of each section of the page starting from the top. I’m not sure you will be able to view these? (It only lets me copy and paste into this screen.)

There are just no Page Attributes listed anywhere on the page. But on all of my client’s other Pages and Posts she has the Page Attributes available.

In the Help documentation for the Zippy Courses plugin, there is a screenshot of a Zippy Course Page that clearly shows the Page Attributes section on the right side of the page. So I am not entirely certain why it is not visible on my client’s course page.

Thank you for looking into this as far as you are able to.

Maggie

Hi Kevin,

No – there is no check box for Page Attributes in the screen options at the top of the page.

In Inspect Element this is the CSS I am seeing – but when I target the .kad-sidebar and use the post-id – it does not hide the sidebar.

<aside class=”col-lg-3 col-md-4 kad-sidebar” role=”complementary” itemscope=”” itemtype=”https://schema.org/WPSideBar”&gt;
<div class=”sidebar”>

In the right-hand box under the Styles Tab there is also an additional css selector called .single-article aside (but that doesn’t seem to select the entire sidebar.

So is there no other way to hide a sidebar in WordPress other than using the Page Attributes?

And if the Page Attributes is not showing up on her pages for her courses (they look identical to any other WordPress page – just missing the Page Attributes selection) – do you think this is the being caused by the Zippy Courses Plugin?

Thank you

Btw- I’m sorry for my lag in response time – my schedule got a bit crazy at the end of the week. I’m sure you know what that’s like. ??

Hi Kevin,

That was what I initially thought – but when I opened the page – there is no box with “Page Attributes” available. She has “Publish” “HTTPS” “Featured Media” “Likes and Shares” and “Yoast Internal Linking”. She’s using Thrive Architect and Zippy Courses within the Virtue Child Theme. But when I go into these plugins – neither of them has a sidebar element. Her sidebar is the same on all of her pages – (I checked in her Menus area) so it seems to be the one she originally built using the Virtue Child Theme.

So my next thought was that I could hide the sidebar widgets on specific pages by simply targeting each post id with CSS. But the CSS .kad-sidebar doesn’t seem to work by itself.

I noted the .kad-sidebar item in Inspect Element and thought that was the correct one to use to target the sidebar. But it doesn’t seem to work. Is there another CSS selector that I should use in combination with .kad-sidebar to hide the sidebar on specific posts/pages?

Thanks,

Meagan

?? You made me chuckle. I have friends who expect “technology” to always be perfect. Lol. Anyway – thanks for letting me know it’s not user error. Just wanted to be sure.

Have a great day, Sunny!

Maggie

Hi Sunny,

Thank you for the follow-up. I repaired the 4 tables. The greyed out images are still in our Media Library but I will go through and delete them.

QUESTION: When you mentioned that an “image is not fully or properly uploaded” – is this created by User error?

After looking at this – I think the person who creates our Calendar Events might be uploading each image directly into the Calendar Event instead of uploading the images into the Media Library. Should he be uploading the images directly to the Media Library first and then adding them to an Event from there?

Just trying to figure out what we could be doing wrong on our end. ??

Thanks so much for your help!

Maggie

FYI – It worked perfectly!

Thank You! Thank You!
