Hi,

I’m trying to update the look of my site and I can’t seem to find an option where my posts (articles) show the sidebar but the blog homepage does not. Is this an option?

Thanks!

Hi,

If you use a blog style homepage (meaning no static page, but a list of latest articles) the sidebar can be set in the Theme panel ->Template settings

Please correct me if I misunderstand what you are asking.

I don’t think this is what was asked.

I need to know how to have a custom homepage and a blog page (set as the ‘posts page’ in wp reading settings) without the sidebar and with a title.
And have the sidebar on all single posts.
Is it again something that can only be done through the template rewrite?

You can have a homepage with no sidebar. Are you using WPBakery? Here is my homepage with no sidebar. http://www.satellitebeachdaily.com

I need to have a custom Homepage and use a News page for the Blog (both set in the WP reading settings). And then I need to have the News (blog) page without the sidebar. But have the sidebar on single posts. I don’t see any way of doing this, because it says that the same sidebar settings are used on index.php and single.php. I had to rewrite the index.php in a child them to be able to do what the client wants.
Since there are so many settings for every possible archive page, it would make sense to have a separate setting for the sidebar for the blog and single post pages.
And I am not using WPBakery.

Sorry rlappare if I stole your thread. Perhaps your question was different from mine and I should have opened yet another thread.

Hi,

You could simply create two pages, a homepage and set that accordingly. Then create another page using the latest articles template. Set that in the menu for example as the blog page. This demo uses this solution

The latest articles section can have a sidebar or not

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, that is an option. Didn’t see that template because I already had the page set as the blog page in WP settings. And in that case, the templates do not show.
