Unable to change 'Sidebar Position' on Pages

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 14

Hi,

I am unable to change the sidebar position on new and existing pages – basically choosing whether I want a standard template (sidebar on right) or no sidebar at all.

Within the screen options at the top of the page I have tried enabling (ticking) both “Page Template Settings” and “Homepage Latest Articles” but this doesn’t do anything and I have no additional options to choose from further down the page.

Can anyone help, please, truly stuck on this one. I am running the latest version of WordPress and Newspaper.

Thanks, Paul

Hello,

If you made the pages with tagDiv Composer, then you need to change the sidebar position with tagDiv Composer.
Also, please provide some screenshots.

Thank you!

Hi Anamaria,

This applies when I make new pages also, there is nowhere to change the layout.

It appears something is stopping the “page template settings” screen element from displaying.

All screen elements within the screen options tab are ticked but neither the “Page Template Settings” and “Homepage Latest Articles” display.

There’s no option to add a screenshot here but if that doesn’t make sense please let me know and I’ll externally link.

Thanks, Paul

Hello Paul!

Edit the page normally and change the settings from Template: default, see the screenshot below: https://www.screencast.com/t/0I4zBQMBC

If this is not what you mean, then please provide more information about your issue, screenshots and your website link in order to help you efficiently.

The option you showed on the screenshot doesn’t exist for me.

First image shows options I have in standard WordPress editor. Second image shows what I see when I try to edit in tagdiv composer. https://imgur.com/a/NT7QQzH

It’s like something is blocking the option from changing the template displaying. Is there an alternative way to edit templates?

Thanks, Paul

Just as a follow up to this the latest Newspaper update resolved the issue, can now select the template.

Can also change it in phpMyAdmin, although it’s a little complicated.
