Conflict with new Elementor 'Archive' Pages
5 replies · Started by Thomas on April 17, 2018
Hi there,
I'm trying to use the new Elementor Theme Builder option to create templates for my archive pages. The problem is the following: My standard setting in Generatepress is boxed layout (1100px), but I have a few places where I like to use the full width.
Usually I override it in the generatepress metabox inside the standard wp editor screen (layout->page builder container->full width), cause the setting inside the elementor editor (settings->general settings->page layout) doesn't seem to work to overwrite the gp settings.
So this works for stuff like pages pretty well. BUT: for the new archive templates I can't access the gp layout settings. Thus elementor sticks to the standard setting, regardless of the setting in the elementor editor. Furthermore: If I activate the js stretch method, it seems to work in the elementor editor itself, but not when I actually open the page.
So, proposed fix: Inlcude the layout metabox also for the new elementor template system. Or find a fix for the elementor setting.
Thanks a lot!
PS: I'm using all the current versions of the plugins, and the pro versions of gp and elementor.
Hi there,
This function should help: https://gist.github.com/generatepress/b5d7d93599ec7ad515d27974daa3a22c
I've asked Elementor to include it in their GP compatibility file, so hopefully they'll do that and the function won't be necessary.
Let me know :)
Cool, thanks, this works like a charm.
Great support!
Best wishes
No problem! :)
I wanted this to apply to the single theme pages as well so I modified your code to include them as well. It works but I'm not a programmer and I'm guessing there's a better way to add the elementor_location_exists single type other than repeating it like I have. Thoughts?
add_action( 'wp', function() {
add_filter( 'body_class', function( $classes ) {
if ( function_exists( 'elementor_location_exits' ) && ( elementor_location_exits( 'archive', true ) || elementor_location_exits( 'single', true ) )) {
$classes[] = 'full-width-content';
}
return $classes;
} );
} );
Nope, that's perfect :)
