Well I managed a workaround and appear to have come up with a good solution.
I installed the custom sidebars plug in, then used a text widget to place my desired page content in for the topic page. I made that my default widget which means it automatically shows up on the topic page. To set the rest of my pages back to my standard widget, I used the custom sidebars plug in. It’s not a solution to solving the template issues with intricate themes, but a good workaround. Only took me three days to think of it 🙂
Yes, its a tricky theme –
all this is in page.php is this
<?php
/**
* Single Page
*/
get_template_part(‘single’);
?>
So, I go look in single.php and this is what is in there..
<?php
/**
* Single post
*/
get_header();
$single_style = lorem_ipsum_books_media_store_storage_get(‘single_style’);
if (empty($single_style)) $single_style = lorem_ipsum_books_media_store_get_custom_option(‘single_style’);
while ( have_posts() ) { the_post();
lorem_ipsum_books_media_store_show_post_layout(
array(
‘layout’ => $single_style,
‘sidebar’ => !lorem_ipsum_books_media_store_param_is_off(lorem_ipsum_books_media_store_get_custom_option(‘show_sidebar_main’)),
‘content’ => lorem_ipsum_books_media_store_get_template_property($single_style, ‘need_content’),
‘terms_list’ => lorem_ipsum_books_media_store_get_template_property($single_style, ‘need_terms’)
)
);
}
get_footer();
?>
I tried so many things yesterday..am giving it a bit more today..but any help would be great. Even if I can just get rid of the sidebar (and no deleting the sidebar line does not work)
Yes, I read that and according to my edit panel I am using the default template – which I am guessing is just my theme. All my pages say they are using the default template regardless of the layout on the actual page. I have searched through file manager on cpanel and can only find the one page.php with no obvious other php files. Is there any other way to determine which php file I should be copying because right now – there only appears to be the one.
