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.

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.

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?

No you can’t if you’re using WPML.

I just wanted to tell you that you haven’t updated the default.po file. After generating a .pot file from theme, I see there were a lot of strings missing.

Even with other plugins disabled it didn’t work. I’ve fixed it by using a custom WPML language switcher and inserted it into the template which I had to rewrite in child theme.

I saw this question has been asked on Themeforest about 2 years ago and still the only solution is to use CSS? Is it that hard to add a filter we could use in the child theme to remove it entirely, not just with CSS?
