I am new to Enfold (and web development in general), and struggling to figure out how to create a template page that I can use for all the posts I plan on having. Please help! I’ve spent hours searching through this forum, and tried the directions given here but I’m still not getting it.
Basically, I plan to have several different categories (or “collections”) of posts, such as:
- weekly video posts (of each Sunday’s church service)
- personal stories (some video, some with large image)
- featured resources
- events
However, I’d like all of the post pages in these categories to be styled the same way so that blog post pages dont look any different style-wise than non-blog pages. Basically I am wanting to re-create this page as my basic page template, for the entire site (other than the home page), but also specifically for these posts. Another example is here.
So, a full width 75%-of-screen-image at the top that may be either a video or a static image, with my content below. I don’t mind if the video doesn’t stretch the full width when playing, and would actually like the black boxes on either side when viewing on large screens (though I dont know how to do that yet).
I can create a page like this as a normal web page. I guess I’m really just asking: how can I have pages that are styled this way but also take advantage of the blog features of Enfold so that I can feature these pages/posts in other places (i.e. home page) using a Content Slider or some equivalent?
I also think the blog Category feature makes for a good way to organize all these posts into collections, so I want to be able to take advantage of that. Is this possible or do I need to simply build each “post” from scratch as an individual web page and organize them using menus and sub-menus?
Thanks for taking time to reply
Hi Joe!
I think this is the same or at least very similar to your question here which I answered already: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/help-with-organizing-video-blog-content/
Posts don’t have templates so you would need to create a custom page each week and fill in the content.
Cheers!
DevinHey!
You don’t need to modify the single.php template to make the template fullwidth. Just add this code to the enfold or child theme functions.php file:
add_filter('avia_layout_filter', 'avia_change_post_layout', 10, 2); function avia_change_post_layout($layout, $post_id){ if(is_single() && get_post_type($post_id) == "post") { $layout['current'] = $layout["fullsize"]; $layout['current']['main'] = "fullsize"; } return $layout; }Cheers!
PeterThanks for this reply Peter.
I pasted the above code into my child functions.php file via the WP-admin panel and now the site and the WP admin panel will no longer load. The attached screen cap shows my functions.php code (which I managed to capture before completely loosing access to the site).
I even tried deleting this new code and resaving, but the site and dashboard will no longer load at all.
Any help?
site is blueoaks.cc.fqdns.net
Peter (or whoever responds), I was able to restore access to my site & admin panel by deleting the code you provided via dreamweaver/filezilla.
I am still interested in your solution (above) to my original question – could there perhaps be an error in the code you gave me? Or, perhaps I did something wrong in modifying the child theme functions.php file (please see the screen cap I provided above)? I’d like to try this again, as it sounds like the solution I’m looking for.
thanks
Hey!
Did you re-add the code? the single post view now displays fullwidth:
