[Resolved] Different layouts for different custom post types

[Dhruv]

Hello Sir

I have 2 custom post types (Notes and Downloads) in my website.
How can I set different layouts for its single.php posts.

In notes post type I want layout like
Sidebar/content

While in downloads post type I want layout like
content/sidebar

Kindly suggest me any code for getting this functionality.

Thanks

Hi there,

You can use our sidebar filter:

add_filter( 'generate_sidebar_layout','generate_custom_sidebar_layout' );
function generate_custom_sidebar_layout( $layout )
{
 	if ( is_post_type_archive( 'downloads' ) )
 	 	return 'right-sidebar';

 	if ( is_post_type_archive( 'notes' ) )
 	 	return 'left-sidebar';

 	// Or else, set the regular layout
 	return $layout;

 }

Hi..
Thank you for support.

I have copied the code in functions.php

But it is not working. It is not changing default layout set in customiser.

That code won’t do anything to the Customizer, it will just change the sidebar layout on the “notes” and “downloads” post type archives.

Make sure the post types are named “notes” and “downloads” specifically – if they’re different then those names need to change.

Hello Tom,

Actually I wanted the sidebars on singular pages of custom post types.
So, I just changes the code from is_post_type_archives() to is_singular() and it is working now.

add_filter( 'generate_sidebar_layout','generate_custom_sidebar_layout' );
function generate_custom_sidebar_layout( $layout )
{
 	if ( is_singular( $post_types = 'download' ) )
 	 	return 'right-sidebar';

if ( is_singular( $post_types = 'notes' ) )
 	 	return 'left-sidebar';

	// Or else, set the regular layout
 	return $layout;

 }

Thanks for Guiding…This issue is resolved 🙂
