Also, I saw another forum where you used a similar code for the header.
There was one difference. (I'm not a coder)
Line Three.
return true;
or
$display = true;
I tried both doesn't still work but which one is correct or they are the same?
Hi there.
can you provide a temporary Admin login for the site so we can take a closer look ?
done
Can you set the Profile to Administrator ? As i can't access the full admin dashboard.
Sorry, fixed.
The setting on where the template is applied to the IDX page.
Where is this setting ?
Left Menu
Optima Express > IDX Pages
On IDX Pages, Scroll down to Search. From there you can pick the theme template file.
On there you can see the permalink.
I had a look at the backend.
The bottom line is when you set the full width template in the IDX Pages > Search. That template is not being used by the plugin. I checked the plugins documentation and i could not see any specific requirements. Could you check with the Plugin developer as to why this may be ?
Yes I tried to reach out to them.
They didn't understand why I'm doing what I'm doing.
I'm assuming it's old code that requires you to create a theme file that is hard coded.
What website you recommend to hire a developer to look at their code.
We could try creating a Custom header.php specifically for your full width template.
You would make a copy of the GP Header - found here - note the line i have linked to:
1. Rename your header.php to header-fullwidth.php
2. On the line commented - change it to:
<body <?php body_class( 'full-width-content' ); ?> <?php generate_do_microdata( 'body' ); ?>>
3. Then in your fullwidth.php this line:
get_header(); ?>
we change to call our fullwidth header like so:
get_header( 'fullwidth' ); ?>
Now this should add the full-width-content class to that page template. And you won't require the Layout Element.
@gerik any luck getting this to work? I'm running into the same issue.
Hey Zach,
No. What I wanted was the search to be full width and the individual listings 1100 px.
This is what I had to do.
Make the whole site the width of what I want the single listing to look like (1100px). Then for the search page, I had to create a blank page with the search shortcode (not using their default search). I made the newly created search page, full width. I make a redirect if anyone lands on the default search url to redirect to the one I created.
Let me know if that made sense. Just to let you know, I got frustrated with their support and went with another provider.
