alexb+ 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2011 Hi guys Here's the problem. I've selected a 'two sidebar either side' layout as Default in the Layout Editor. Also in the Editor I have placed the Primary Sidebar in SB1 and the Secondary Sidebar in SB2. On my home page (www.alexbulgo.com), SB1 correctly displays the primary sidebar on the left (I have enabled 'One Sidebar on Left' mode on the Page Editor). However, on the blog page: www.alexbulgo.com/blog, despite the fact that I have the sidebar on the right it still displays the primary sidebar from SB1, rather than the secondar sidebar in SB2... Be glad of any thoughts! Many thanks AB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 547 Report post Posted November 1, 2011 Alex, Please navigate to edit the blog page and scroll down to Pagelines Meta Settings and ensure that you have that particular page set up to have two sidebars, one on each side. I suspect your settings are to have one sidebar right or older default settings. If you change it to the layout you seek, save the Meta Settings AND update the page. Just to be sure. Then view it again. If it continues doing only one sidebar right, please let us know. Former PageLines Moderator, Food Expert and Raconteur Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alexb+ 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2011 Hi Rangelone Thanks. Have set the meta settings accordingly, but of course am now getting two sidebars left and right, whereas want I want to have is: Home page: Sidebar SB1 on left only. Blog Page/Individual Post pages: SB2 on right only. Thanks AB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 547 Report post Posted November 1, 2011 As they're static pages, you should be able to set that in the Pagelines Meta Settings PLUS the settings on the right. by hiding the sidebar you don't want on that particular page. However, you may have a large blank space where one of the sidebars should be. That's caused by the empty div. Let's get to that problem as it occurs. First, let's make sure you only get the sidebar you want on the page. Former PageLines Moderator, Food Expert and Raconteur Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alexb+ 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2011 The only problem there is that Pagelines Meta Settings and the settings on the right are not accessible on the blog page - so how to hide the contents of SB1 on the blogpage and leave only SB2 visible...?

Rob 547 Report post Posted November 1, 2011 Huh? I have a blog page and I'm able to see both. Make sure you check the Screen Options and that all the Pagelines options (there should be 3) are checked. Screen Options are at the very top/right of your edit page screen.

alexb+ 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2011 All screen options are checked, but where Pagelines Meta Settings and Section Control should be I get the following: Note: Individual page settings do not work on the blog page (use the settings panel). The blog page is set as Default...not sure if that makes a difference. Incidentally, in Template Set Up, dragging the Primary and Secondary Sidebar widgets into 'Sidebar 2' results in a blog page with a right sidebar and both widgets displayed. But as soon as I drag the primary out to hide it, both widgets vanish! Not sure if that helps diagnose what's going on there! AB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alexb+ 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2011 Ok....now I have: Home page - Sidebar 1 with Primary Sidebar widget www.alexbulgo.com Post page - Sidebar 2 with Secondary Sidebar widget www.alexbulgo.com/blogging-it But! Blog page with Sidebar 2 and both widgets! Any ideas how I can get rid of Primary Sidebar widget here . i.e. the one on top? www.alexbulgo.com/blog Thanks!

kastelic 6 Report post Posted November 1, 2011 Hi Alex. If you want a quick'n'easy fix you can use the CSS display:none rule to hide the widget that you don't want on that page. The CSS would look something like this: [code] .single #sidebar-primary { display:none} [/code] This would go in Custom Code -> Custom CSS. Also not that this may have to be adjusted for your specific page. If you could enable right-clicking on your site we could give you the actual code. (not being able to right-click makes it hard to find the element classes.) I used the "single" class since the link you gave was for a single post; to do the same thing for the posts page you would replace "single" with "blog".

alexb+ 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2011 Thanks Jimmy - in the end I just placed the home page text in the body of the page rather than in a sidebar! Sometimes the easiest solution escapes me as I look for the more complicated ones! Nevertheless thanks...this is useful for the future!! AB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
