Haha, thanks. That’s cool, appreciate the help. I didn’t think CSS would work because there is no specific class attached to the sidebar, or the page. The archive page is http://www.copelandcompany.com/listing; and the single-listing.php file loads the single loop, so you can click on any of the listings and see the single page. I have the sidebar callback removed now so you won’t see it, but maybe you can see a CSS selector somewhere on the page I could target?

If Ben meant to suggest to remove the sidebar callback from the plugin files for archive and single, that’s what I have been doing and it works; however, the problem is that on update, the callbacks are added in. So it’s just been kind of frustrating to have to keep going back after every update.

It’s really not your problem as the theme developers, I’m just out of ideas so I thought I’d ask the experts 🙂 Anyway, thanks! -T

I’m trying to use Woo Templates to shape WC to my needs. After a few tests, I found that single products worked fine but I can’t make archives to work.

It seems that when I add a template to an archive page, it messes up everything and only displays the content of the template + the footer.

I also realize that it doesn’t work with the standard widget sidebar that goes with Pinnacle (yes I am using this particular theme).

Do you have previous experiences with conflicts regarding this ?

Thanks a lot !

Hi Thomas,
I believe Ben was suggesting you remove the sidebar function from the plugin, though I’m not sure exactly which file to edit. Ben is currently backpacking, but he will be able to provide more insight tomorrow evening or Monday.
In the meantime, this sounds like something that could be removed with some css. If you post a link to your site I would be happy to try to implement that for you.

Hi Ben – forgive my ignorance, but is there a “remove sidebar” function I’m unaware of, or are you suggesting I write a “remove sidebar” function?

And since the “single-listing.php” is a plugin file that contains the sidebar callback I’m trying to override, I’m not following the suggestion of creating a override template in the child theme. Are you saying that I could copy over the “single-listing.php” file, and any changes I make there will override the template file? Where would I copy it to? Child theme root folder? Or do I need to create a directory path that matches the plugin (like “pinnacle_child/views/single-listing.php”)? Also, is what’s the process for doing the same with the CPT archive template file?

If that’s possible, it sounds like the answer. Thanks!

Hey,
There isn’t a shortcode. The page template will add the contact form. If you go to the page and set the template to sidebar or fullwidth that will remove the contact form.

The contact page template is shown in “default” is selected and the name of your page is “contact” or if you have selected the contact template in your page attributes.

I hope that helps!

The theme uses a filterable way to add the sidebar in its templates. Since you say this plugin is using its own templates the theme controls won’t work because they are not being used.

The function get_sidebar() pulls in the sidebar template.
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_sidebar/

I would suggest you override the plugin templates in your child theme with the removed get_sidebar function and then you don’t have to update with every plugin update.

Hello! I have a plugin that adds get_sidebar(); on it’s singular custom post type pages, and while removing that piece of code works, it comes back every time on plugin update. So I’m looking for a theme hook that I can use to disable sidebars on the archive and singular pages.

Something like this:

`function kad_sidebar_on_listing_page($sidebar) {
if (is_singular(‘listing’)) {
return false;
}
return $sidebar;
}
add_filter(‘kadence_display_sidebar’, ‘kad_sidebar_on_listing_page’);’

But that does not work. (Plus, even if it did, it would only work for singular pages, so I would need to add in code to do the same for archive pages.

The plugin is IMPRESSListings, and the front-end of the CPT is copelandcompany.com/listing, if that helps.

Thank you! Tom

Hi Hannah,

thanks for the response. The sidebar is still activated – I have changed the page attributes to full width and that has resolved it.

Many thanks for your assistance with this.

Hi Simon,
What exactly do you mean in saying you have deactivated the sidebar on your site? It looks like you’re still using a sidebar template on the page you linked to. You can select a fullwidth page template from within your edit pages under the Page Attributes tab.

Hi,

I have activated the sidebar on my site – pages that have the sidebar hidden are now off-centred. Is there a way around this please or else i’ll deactivate the sidebar which I don’t want to do.

I’m not sure what you mean by unstructured. You can set the Search Results Layout and choose a sidebar from Theme Options > Misc Settings. Or if you do not want a sidebar on your search results page you can use this css:

.search-results div#ktmain {
    width: 100%;
}
.search-results .sidebar {
    display: none;
}

Does that help? Or are you referencing something else?

Hey,
1. You can hide the title and set a background with css. Not sure what you mean about spacing but likely with css as well. Can you give me more information about that?

You can also just add this section into the page using page builder and a text widget. You can use the portfolio shortcode [portfolio_posts items="4" columns="4"] for example.

Then within pagebuilder you can set a background much easier.

2. A sidebar is meant to extend the height of a page. That is part of how all sidebars work on all themes. If you want fullwidth content below a sidebar then you should not use a sidebar. Instead, you can use page builder to add a column next to the part where you want the sidebar to extend to. Then add a new row below those columns that is fullwidth and won’t interfere with the custom “sidebar”.

3. A sidebar is meant to be below the content on mobile. Meaning it has to drop past everything you add. That is how sidebars work in general, So using pagebuilder and adding a column has the same effect you want and is possible because that column doens’t need to drop below all the content.

It’s not possible in html to have a sidebar drop below all the content and yet not have it input after all the content above it.

I hope that makes sense.

Ok great a link this changes everything. So you are not using a sidebar and should not turn it on.

You just need to turn on the related products carousel.

See this image:

That would allow you to show the related products at the bottom of your product page.

If you need a custom selection of products then you can select “linked” products from the edit screen of your products page.

Hey,

You haven’t posted a link and so it’s hard to give the best advices and it’s hard to know exactly what your wanting. If you can post a link it will help us and you greatly.

Hannahs suggestion came without knowing you have enabled a sidebar on your single product pages. There is no way to span below a sidebar without using a custom child theme and editing code. Or you can use the template builder plugin and manually add a column as a replacement for the sidebar then add a row below that column where you can place a carousel.

Any other ways to accomplish this pretty basic task?

While I understand it sounds basic. It’s just not how sidebars work, they are designed to run the length of content regardless of which theme you use.

If you want to approach this from a child theme and code you can download a child theme here: https://www.kadencewp.com/child-themes/

Hi Hannah,

Thanks a lot for your guidance. As you can see, it takes quite some time to develop a web page. 🙂

I have now checked out your suggestions, and the one about changing Theme options -> Product Settings does not work, as it attempts to display the featured product carousel on the right as a sidebar, and not on the bottom. There appears to be no option to display it on the bottom. I have updated to the most recent Kadence Virtue version.

While the other suggestion regarding the plugin may work, I don’t think it’s fair to have to pay more for this particular plugin at the moment.

Thank you for the suggestions.

The update has been out for a while. I pushed it out the day I said I would.

Your developer seems to be disregarding that some searches worked. If you look at your searches now they are showing a whole sidebar widget area below the footer.

I know what I’m talking about and I know that it was a direct conflict with sensei. I’m happy to resolve that for you. You don’t need to get your developers help.

I suggest you remove whatever your developer added in the child theme.

If you are having trouble with the search and you are using the latest version then send me a login to your site.

Hey,
So as I tried to explain above. The template is static if you add content that is a specific language it will not translate because it’s static.

If you want to add a widget to all your products then you need to use widget visibility to hide it for specific languages and show others similar to how you control widgets in a sidebar. Please see:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpml-widgets/

If you want to add to a specific category you need to set the template for each language in each category.

The Woocommerce templates have nothing to do with a blog page. If you want to work with page builder in a blog page then you must not use a blog template and instead add all your content through page builder including the posts through a shortcode.

It’s probably worth your time to go over working with page builder and WPML in the WPML support and docs.

Glad you got it sorted out! What widget were you using to add the text? I just tested page builder on my blog page and it didn’t interfere with the sidebar. I used a visual editor widget.

I have a sidebar on 2 blogs – one site it appears where it should, the other it appears at the bottom. I have compared settings in both sites and everything appears the same. I have checked for plugins that may be causing problems but I haven’t many installed and those I do don’t seem to be causing the problem.
Please can you help
The problem page is *Login to see link
I’m using Safari but I’ve also checked Chrome and the problem exists there too.
Many thanks
