Sidebar for Custom Post Archive
2 replies · Started by siang on February 27, 2020
Hi,
I am using Layout Element to try to set the custom post page (CPTUI) to use "left sidebar".
I am able to change
1) the layout for page stated in "Your Website URL" below.
2) And the job detail page (eg: Corporate Sales Manager, BUT i don't wish to change layout for this page, i want to keep it using right bar)
But if you clicked on the sidebar categories, F&B, Human Resource, Medical
They will go to a page showing right sidebar. I want this page to be affected by the Layout Element, but its not working.
This is a screenshot of my settings.

I am thinking, maybe the F&B and other pages are archives, so I tried to use snippet
add_filter( 'generate_sidebar_layout', function( $layout ) {
// If we are viewing search results, set the sidebar
if ( is_tax('industry') ) {
return 'left-sidebar';
}
// Or else, set the regular layout
return $layout;
} );I tried changing my
is_tax('industry') to is_tax()
but it don't affect the taxonmy page,
it only affects the tax single page like corporate sales manager.
Please let me know if I have done anything wrong here.
I will like to have this page
industry/fb/
industry/medical/
to have the left side bar, similar to this
job-search/
while keeping these detail pages using the right bar (no change)
job/corporate-sales-manager/
Thanks
My bad, solved it using code snippet
add_filter( 'generate_sidebar_layout', function( $layout ) {
if ( is_archive('job') ) {
return 'left-sidebar';
}
// Or else, set the regular layout
return $layout;
} );But this will change all my archive to use left bar.
Is there a better way to change my CPT "job" archive layout only?
Hi there,
that code should work fine - it will only apply to Archives that display a CPT with the slug of job
If your CPT is named job then you should see it listed in the Layout Element > Display Rules
e.g
Jobs, Job Archive, Job Category archives.
