In Theme panel, under “Blog and posts template”, I have selected “M1” as article display view, coupled with the right sidebar position.
However, there is no sidebar, and the article text (as well as the image, if it is wide enough) fills the entire width of the screen – please see for example
http://vastavalkea.fi/2016/01/29/konkurssikypsan-talousjarjestelman-kuolinkouristukset/
Previously, the image and the text were restricted to 700 pixels in width.
The problem occurred when I changed the way in which e.g. search results and archives are shown. This seems to have affected the way in which individual posts, too, are shown.
Thanks for quick guidance!
I have now managed to get individual posts to be displayed correctly, but not post list views.
Please let me clarify.
Individual posts are shown correctly, for example:
http://vastavalkea.fi/2016/03/04/eun-bkt-yha-alle-vuoden-2007-tason/
However, post lists are almost, but not fully:
http://vastavalkea.fi/category/katsauksia-maailmaan/
You see, I would like the righmost column also to be used for the post list. Instead, it continues to be reserved for the categories “Pääkirjoitus” and “Poiminnat”. A column with these categories should only appear on the front page – here:
The rightmost column is now filled with a blank (white) sidebar, but this is how I would like the view to be shown:
http://vastavalkea.fi/?s=Sipil%C3%A4n+hallitus
For some reason, that kind of full-width listing does not seem to work in views like
http://vastavalkea.fi/category/katsauksia-maailmaan/
as already mentioned earlier.
Hello,
I’m not sure how your sidebars are not being displayed. Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. This shuld rule out a plugin conflict. If you want to remove sidebars from a specific post or category, you need to remove it like so:
category: http://screencast.com/t/kdiTyzzO
post: http://screencast.com/t/Lhpj5dbQv
And from the template settings in the theme panel.
Let us know how it goes.
Hi Bogdan,
When I open
Theme Panel => Layout Settings => Categories
there is no heading “Per category settings” at the top, whereas that heading is shown at the screencast
http://screencast.com/t/kdiTyzzO
My corresponding view is quite different. What could explain that?
And to clarify:
* I want the Default sidebar shown in post pages, and it is already shown the way I want, for example:
http://vastavalkea.fi/2016/02/04/janis-varoufakis-kapitalismi-syo-demokratian-ilman-vastarintaamme/
* The sidebar is also already shown in the desired way on the front page:
http://vastavalkea.fi/
* There is no sidebar in tag and search results, and that is exactly how I want it:
http://vastavalkea.fi/?s=leikkaukset
* The only problem occurs when one opens a menu at the top. For example, clicking “Maailma” opens this view:
http://vastavalkea.fi/category/ulkomaat/
I want the entire width of that view used for post listing, and I haven’t found a way to do that.
Hi,
I understand your issue. The category page for ‘ulkomaat’ does not display the sidebar. You will need to access the theme panel here: http://screencast.com/t/LpupAEHa
If for some reason you do not have the per category settings, then please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn if you use it. Then check the theme panel again. This should rule out a plugin conflict. If your settings are still not there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-amin so we can take a look. Also include a link to this topic.
Thank you!
Yes, the problem is that if I act so that no sidebar is shown in post listings (which I want), it always gets also removed from individual posts (which I do not want).
A lot of stuff seems to be missing from our Category settings. For example, there is nothing above “Article display view” – please have a look here:
Hello,
That is because you use the old version of our theme. Please update your theme so you can have these options as well.
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan,
I have tried to update the theme, but it has now become clear in other discussions in this forum that updating from version 4 to version 6 is not a straightforward thing (also because of our own optimizations that the update script cannot handle), so we will not be doing it in the near future.
But please clarify this: Is it not possible to have article (posts) list views without any sidebar *and* have a sidebar for individual articles (posts) using the current theme?
As mentioned, I want individual articles to have a(n ivisible) sidebar, exactly as here:
http://vastavalkea.fi/2016/02/11/jarkkyvatko-politiikan-rakenteet-usassakin/
But I’d like (for example) this view
http://vastavalkea.fi/category/talous/
to look like this (= no sidebar):
http://vastavalkea.fi/tag/hyvinvointivaltio/
For some reason, tag lists can be shown without a sidebar, but article lists in category views cannot (more precisely, they can, but then the sidebar disappears from individual articles / posts too). If there is a way, please instruct. Thank you.
Hi,
I understand.
In newspaper 4 you can select the sidebar position like so: http://screencast.com/t/vd4n8CoL
This will remove the sidebar from the category page, but it will also remove the sidebar from the posts inside the category IF they have the default sidebar position selected: http://screencast.com/t/Stttf5IT
You will have to edit each post and set a sidebar to them anything other than the default option.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
Thanks, Bogdan!
This is clear now.
I wish there was a way to mass-edit the sidebar position for all posts in a given category, but I’m afraid there isn’t. So one has to change it individually for each already published post.
I edited the sidebar position for all six posts in a six-post category, and it works. Alas, some categories contain dozens of posts, meaning lots of stuff to edit.
It depends on how your posts were set-up. If they have the sidebar to default, then the option in the category setting will do it for all of them. If they had individual sidebars set, then that means a lot of work to be done.
Best of luck!
