[Resolved] Missing a lot of Layout options

[Miklos]

I am building a new site with generatepress but unlike compared to when I’ve used GP before, the layout options are highly limited. On other sites I can goto Customize > Layout > Blog > and have a bunch of options.

On this new site gluetips.net, the only option under Layout > Blog > is “Content type”

Any help is appreciated

Strange, this fixed itself when I de-activated the child theme to activate the parent theme, then re-activated the child theme.

All options are there now

Hi there,

there is definitely something ‘funny’ with your child theme.
If you want to copy the functions.php and paste it into a GIST and share with us we can take a look to see what its doing.

[Miklos]

Sure thing, but sorry for the ignorance what is a GIST

[David]

No need – we can take a closer look via the login you provided in this topic:

Just for reference this is GIST:

Its a simple Github repository for saving bits of code 🙂

Ill take a look when i get a minute

Your guys’ support is next level, appreciate it.

So i had a look at the child theme – couldn’t see anything in particular that would break the Layout – so I temporarily re-enabled the Child Theme and if i go to Customizer > Layout > Blog i can see all the options. Can you double check?

[Miklos]

I can confirm the options are there. I had initially closed this ticket because the issue seemed to have fixed itself

I guess there is no issue on this then

[David]

Awesome – glad to hear that!

I’ve got the same issue. I’m also using a child theme, and only ‘content type’ ‘summary’ is there. The other options aren’t. I already tried to activate the parent theme and then re-activate the child theme, but this didn’t solve my issue. Can you please help? Tia 🙂

Edit: I also just checked if the blog lay-out options were present in the parent theme, but they weren’t. So it looks like this is not a child theme issue.

Hi there,

can you make sure you have the relevant modules enabled in Appearance > GeneratePress

[Renske]

Whoops, this did the trick 🙂 You rock!

[David]

Glad to hear that 🙂
