Creating and using a different sidebar

Hey!

1) There’s no setting for the sidebar/content width. You can use the code Ismael posted here: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/creating-and-using-a-different-sidebar/#post-282111 to change the sidebar width. If you want to change it again you need to edit the code. You can place the code into the functions.php file (child theme functions.php or enfold/functions.php).

2)

function avia_increase_sidebar_size() {
	global $avia_config;
	
	$avia_config['layout']['fullsize'] 		= array('content' => 'twelve alpha', 'sidebar' => 'hidden', 	 'meta' => 'two alpha', 'entry' => 'eleven');
	$avia_config['layout']['sidebar_left'] 	= array('content' => 'eight', 		 'sidebar' => 'four alpha' ,'meta' => 'three alpha', 'entry' => 'eight');
	$avia_config['layout']['sidebar_right'] = array('content' => 'eight alpha',   'sidebar' => 'four alpha', 'meta' => 'three alpha', 'entry' => 'eight alpha');
}
add_action( 'init', 'avia_increase_sidebar_size', 1);

To change the sidebar size you need to replace “eight” and “four” with a different value. I.e. change “eight” to “nine” and “four” to “three” to decrease the width of the sidebar. You can also replace “eight” with “seven” and “four” with “five” to increase the width of the sidebar. Note that you must not exceed the width of “twelve” units because our css grid just supports twelve units in one row. If you want to change the sidebar size for a certain post type only add a post type check to the function like:

function avia_increase_sidebar_size() {
	global $avia_config;
	if(get_post_type() != "mycpt") return;

	$avia_config['layout']['fullsize'] 		= array('content' => 'twelve alpha', 'sidebar' => 'hidden', 	 'meta' => 'two alpha', 'entry' => 'eleven');
	$avia_config['layout']['sidebar_left'] 	= array('content' => 'eight', 		 'sidebar' => 'four alpha' ,'meta' => 'three alpha', 'entry' => 'eight');
	$avia_config['layout']['sidebar_right'] = array('content' => 'eight alpha',   'sidebar' => 'four alpha', 'meta' => 'three alpha', 'entry' => 'eight alpha');
}
add_action( 'init', 'avia_increase_sidebar_size', 1);

and replace “mycpt” with your post type.

3) By default Enfold supports the layout options only for posts and pages because you must create a custom template (i.e. based on page.php and loop-page.php or single.php and loop-index.php) to use the layouts with another post type. Then you can use this code:

add_filter('avf_builder_boxes','custom_post_types_options');
function custom_post_types_options($boxes)
{
	$boxes[1]['page'][] = 'mycpt';
	return $boxes;
}

to add the layout options to the cpt editor screen. Probably these options won’t work properly if you do not use a cpt template based on page.php and loop-page.php or single.php and loop-index.php…
