Post Type Dependent Sidebars
3 replies · Started by Lutz on January 7, 2023
Hi.
I've defined four custom post types (artists, events, reviews, news). In the single post view I want to display a left sidebar only for the post type 'artist'. In the Customizer (Layout > Sidebars) I can define the sidebar configuration for single posts only globally - independent of the post type. Is there a possibility to display the left sidebar only for specific post types?

Hi there,
you can use a Layout Element to enable the sidebar on your specific post:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/layout-element-overview/
TLDR:
1. Enable the Elements module in Appearanace > GeneratePress.
2. Appearance > Elements -> Add New --> Layout
2.1 on the Sidebar tab select the sidebar config
2.1 Set the Display Rules to match your post type eg. Artists -> All Artists
Hi,
this works - thank you!

Glad to hear that!
