[Resolved] Sidebar/no sidebar and custom header for Events Calendar pages

That’s great! Thanks so much for sharing the solution 🙂

This is an FYI for anyone who might encounter this (above) or similar problem. The above information was very helpful, but didn’t work in my case. Event Tickets (v 4.9) that works with The Events Calendar plugin now has a separate page for collecting event attendee information – and it includes an unwanted sidebar where the forms are duplicated. As in the case above, this generated TEC page is an ‘archive page’.

The only way I was able to disable sidebars on this generated page using a Layout Element was to disable ALL archives. I can’t do that however because the blog archive requires a sidebar. Tom’s helpful functions.php code snippet (above) also did not work. The only way I got this to work was using this modified code snippet…which seems counterintuitive (to me) but it works:

add_action( 'wp', function() {
    add_filter( 'generate_sidebar_layout', 'tu_custom_events_sidebar_layout' );
} );

function tu_custom_events_sidebar_layout( $layout ) {
 	// If we are on the Event Attendee Form page, set the sidebar
if ( 'page' == get_post_type() && is_archive() ) {
 	 	return 'no-sidebar';
        }

 	// Or else, set the regular layout
 	return $layout;
}

Hopefully this will help others who run into this problem! And if anyone can refine this, please share your results.
