Why can’t single product page for woo, have normal sidebars and not being stuck under the image? That does not look right. What can be done to fix this? I see other themes doing it… so?
Thanks
Jarrod
Hi Jarrod,
Themes are all designed differently. If you want to customize the single product page to have a different layout you can do so following the WooCommerce docs on it here: http://docs.woothemes.com/document/template-structure/

Hi, thanks for the reply. Hmm… I may as well build a rocket to the moon. I have no idea how to do that, haha. I purchased this theme because it said woo and bbpress support. There seem to be sidebars for everything else except single pages. My question then become why? A $50 theme, why not single product page too? Now I have to tinker around and try to get that working. Sigh. I will see what I can do I guess.
Thanks

1) Single product pages have a sidebar – you just need to drag’n’drop widgets into the “Single Product Pages” widget area. Afaik the “Displayed Everywhere” widget area is also supported on single product pages.
2) There seem to be sidebars for everything else except single pages. My question then become why?
First (standard) single pages support sidebars and even product pages have a sidebar but it’s not located on the right. We choose this layout because the design wouldn’t look good with a separate sidebar area. The product thumbnails are displayed on the left side and take one third of the page width. The space on the right is required for the product description, add to cart button, etc. Thus the only reasonable location for the widget areas is below the product thumbnails on the left side.
1) So if this is not possible, can the default woo single product page be used instead?
2) Also, I tend to disagree about the design not looking good with a sidebar because I have a design that requires it and looks better than the default of the theme. Is it not possible to provide the code to place a sidebar on the right and reduce the product description area from three thirds to two thirds and leave one third for the sidebar (using a small product image)?
Hey Jarrod,
If you figure something out before support assists or before I come up with a solution and care to share, I will do the same.
Hi, Ok will do. Thanks.
1) So if this is not possible, can the default woo single product page be used instead?
We use the default templates but we adjusted them a bit with hooks. You can remove the theme code by removing following line (located in functions.php):
require_once( 'config-woocommerce/config.php' ); //compatibility with woocommerce pluginHowever probably this will break the woocommerce pages.
2) No I’m sorry because this requires a time intensive customization (you nedd to find the right hooks first, change the css code and container structure, etc.) and I can only recommend to hire a freelancer for the customization if you don’t like the default theme styling.
Hi,
You can get rid of the sidebar on the product pages by going to Appearance > Widgets and removing everything from the sidebar called ‘Everywhere’ since it automatically adds a sidebar… Everywhere.
OR
Another way to do it would be to Change the default theme setting in Enfold > (Theme Options) > Sidebars to look like this http://featherfiles.aviary.com/2013-08-14/null/930e73edc5d848088bcf4f207d7cd80a.png and then simply add back the sidebars to the Blog Posts manually yourself.
Thanks,
Nick
