[Resolved] Suggestion – Global Locations for screen size options

[Ian Lucas]

Hello, I’ve been using GP for a while now, and it’s working great, Im just having a little issue: every time I create a new page or post (including CPTs) I have to set the screen options individually for each post. Sometimes in my development, certain CPTs I create require to be on full width w/o sidebar, and maybe pages or normal posts dont, this doesnt affect me since I’m a developer, but when I handle the instructions to my clients, I need to be extra specific about them setting these screen options every time they create a new post.

Given this issue, I think it would be great if we could see in the future some kind of “Global Location Settings” for Screen Options in each post type available, just like Elements Locations.

I was also thinking if there was a way to add this functionality, maybe from functions.php as a temporary fix so I don’t have to instruct my clients in this repetitive task.

Thanks!

Hi there,

Have you checked out the Layout Elements in our Elements module?: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/layout-element-overview/

It allows you to set those layout options and then apply them to specific CPTs.

Let me know 🙂
