[Resolved] Remove Sidebar on One Post

[Tom]

I would like to remove the sidebar on a few of my posts. I have seen references to the layout metabox, but I cannot figure out where that is or how to activate it. I have version 2.4.2 of the theme and 1.11.3 of the GP Premium plugin installed.

Thanks

Hi Tom,

You can set your Layout Element’s Display Rule to specific posts.

Here’s a demo video of a Layout Element w/ no Sidebar that will only apply on “Hello world” post.

Alternatively, you can edit the specific post’s Layout > Sidebar.

Let us know if it works for you.

Thanks, I accomplished it by using the first suggestion.
I don’t have the layout section in the edit post page. How is that added?

[Elvin]

Nice one,

Perhaps the layout metabox is unchecked on your editor options.

You can enable it here.

I did have that option checked but it still doesn’t show the layout section in the document settings. Does that maybe need to be enabled somewhere in the GP plugin? I went through the documentation and the only thing I could find was the disable sections module, but enabling that didn’t change anything. I guess it could be a plugin conflict maybe.

Thanks

In that case it could be plugin conflict for sure.

Can you deactivate all plugins except GP Premium to test?

[Tom]

I did deactivate all the plugins and the layout section is still not showing. Is there a section of the GP plugin that needs to be enabled? I am using a child theme, could that be an issue?

[Leo]

Is there a section of the GP plugin that needs to be enabled?

No there isn’t.

I am using a child theme, could that be an issue?

Don’t think so but it might be worth to activate the parent theme to test.

[Tom]

The child theme was not an issue.
The display rule works, so unless you have another idea, we can close this issue.

Thanks

[Leo]

Hmm I wouldn’t mind looking into this a bit more as it’s strange.

Any chance you can provide the dashboard login info so I can take a look?

Please disable all plugins if you can.

Thanks 🙂

What email should I use for the access?

[Leo]

You can use the Private Information box below the reply box 🙂

Here is the info

Looks like it’s working for me:

Are you seeing something different?

[Tom]

It still doesn’t work for my usual account, but it works for the new account I created. Maybe my account has issues. It is an admin account. Any thoughts?
