Individual Blog Post Layout

[bluesquirrel 0]

Hi, I'm trying to force blog posts to be be full width without a side column, and I'd like this to be the default behaviour for all new blog posts. http://bit.ly/p0MYWp - Not like this with, I'd like the side column to be gone. http://bit.ly/pdNS48 - I've tried to wing it by disabling the items in the column, but without success of removing the column. I even chose "Hide Sidebars When Empty (no widgets)" In the Sidebar Options in Platform, but without any luck. Many thanks in advance, I <3 Platform.

You need to select the right template without sidebars to meet your needs and turn on sidebars when you need them from section control inside each post where you want them. The issue is that even if the sidebars are turned off, emptied out, if the template expects a sidebar there, it will place a spaceholder there based on the layout. Go to Dashboard > PlatformPro > Blogs and Posts and scroll down a bit to "Posts Page-Content Layout". Change the options to "Select" and save. See if that works.

But you want it on the main blog page? If so, you can do this: To hide it on select single post pages, go to the post edit screen. In the far right column you'll see a heading "Sidebar 1". Check "Hide Primary Sidebar" and click save.

Hi Kate, I've hidden the Primary and Secondary sidebar in the individual post settings but it's made no difference. http://www.theshipinnfreckleton.co.uk/2011/08/24/bank-hoilday-cask-weekend/ I don't want the sidebar on the Main Blog page either - but that's already taken care of http://www.theshipinnfreckleton.co.uk/our-blog/ Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, it's been a Bank Holiday weekend in the UK.

Looks like it's still being given the class of "one-sidebar-right". You can add this in your CSS to override it: [code].single #column-wrap, .single #column-main{width:100% !important;}[/code]
