Default sidebar custom post type single template

Hello,
I’ve looked through the Theme Settings under “CPT & Taxonomy” and I cannot find an area to choose a default sidebar on the ‘single’ template for each custom post type I have. I can only choose a default sidebar that affects the taxonomy pages.

I’ve already checked this page for advice: https://forum.tagdiv.com/custom-post-type-support/

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Thanks for the response!

I have a Custom Post Type for classified ad listings and events which are updated entirely once a week – automatically via a import script. Let’s say have a custom sidebar named “Classifieds Sidebar.” If I were to add into the post meta:
$td_theme_meta = array ( 'td_sidebar' => 'Classifieds Sidebar' );
add_post_meta ( $post_id, 'td_post_theme_settings', serialize( $td_theme_meta ) );

Would there be any other postmeta to change?

Salut Lucian,
Is there any progress on this topic? Will it be possible to set default sidebar for each custom post types in the near future? I need to import thousands of posts into several different posts types and I would like to know if I should set a custom sidebar for each post during the import, or I will soon be able to set the sidebar on a custom post type basis. In the future I will probably need different content to the sidebar of each custom post types.

Best regards,

Tibor

While I hate the idea of necroing threads it would be a handy feature.

I also propose for custom post types we should have the ability to filter out the author box, and such because it isn’t needed for all post types for instance I have an example I am working on where I don’t need author box, share buttons, etc.

It would be nice for a deeper custom post type support within the theme.

Thank you!
