Customizing post type archives - removing the sidebar and adding extra elements
3 replies · Started by Filip on April 22, 2022
Hi,
Following your tutorial, I've created a custom post type for the case studies that's identical to my blog post singles and archives (design-wise).
Here's the link.
However, I want to remove a sidebar that shows recent posts and categories and show the date/author underneath the title, just like in the blog archives.
Please help.
Thanks,
Filip
Hi there,
for the sidebar, you can use a Layout Elmement to disable the sidebar for your Post Type Archives:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/layout-element-overview/
To add the post meta add this PHP Snippet to your site to enable Meta for that post type:
add_filter( 'generate_entry_meta_post_types', function( $types ) {
$types[] = 'my-post-type';
return $types;
} );Just replace the my-post-type with yours
Works fine.
Thanks a lot, David!
Glad to hear that!
