Custom posts (holding deployment)

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi Tagdiv,

I am using the newspaper theme

we have integrated a powerful database engine into our code, but sadly we are unable to use it. no matter what we try and do the theme overrides our design. we have tried all the “regular” tricks like creating a new page template and all fails.

We would like to tweak the Newspaper theme in two ways:

We would like to use a WP Views template for a custom post type and totally overcome the theme’s design for all photographers’ pages. Can you provide the code for such a page template?
We noticed that even if we define a full width design for a specific page, there is still the space for the sidebar on the right, How can we avoid that and have the full width of the page usable?

we are at the point where we really dont know what to do. support has given us some clues but they dont work and we are at a stage that we need coding samples.

Please provide some code samples for us to implement. I think that a good sample would be one that can create a design free page for a page type. we can take it from there.

This is currently the only thing holding us from deployment. so we really need your help on this.

looking forward for you prompt reply

You likely need to try using the pagebuilder blocks to make a custom page; or perhaps create custom widgetized areas via normal practice in wordpress, or perhaps hiring a custom developer to work outside the parameters of the theme.

Thanks Christopher ,
do you have samples on how to do pagebuilder blocks which remove the side bar?

Is there a regular way to do custom posts?

Hi,

Here is how you can set and use a full width page (without sidebar): http://screencast.com/t/AfZh5mOr053
for your custom post/page you can make changes to an existing template and build it as you like, you can find the post/page templates in the root of the theme: http://screencast.com/t/G2xh4bbwNO
If you want to add another post template please follow this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/help-post-site-template-for-custom-post-type/#post-22609
Hope this helps!

Thanks
