    Hi, I’m trying to create a page template as follows:

    Blog content 1 | Sidebar 1
    Full width section with content slider
    Blog content 2 | Sidebar 2
    Full width section with content slider
    etc.

    The blog element style I want to use is single author style with thumbnail on the left. I’m using the page builder.

    If I do this using the blog shortcode at 100% width and the normal page template, Sidebar 1 is blank space. I can’t figure out which sidebar allows me to insert widgets there. All the widgets I do insert start appearing below the last full width section.

    If I put the blog shortcode in a 75% width segment and the page template with no sidebar, then insert a 25% width section with the widget shortcode, I encounter two problems. The first: the blog element style changes and forces me into a center justified layout with thumbnail on top. The second is that although the widget appears, there is no vertical dividing line between the blog content area and the sidebar.

    Is there a way to get the layout I want?

    Thanks,
    Karl.

    Hi karlbaz!

    You can add this on Quick CSS:

    #top .fullsize .template-blog .post-title {
    text-align: left;
}

#top .fullsize .template-blog .post-meta-infos {
    text-align: left;
}

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hi Ismael,

    Thanks for the suggestion. This fixed the text alignment but the blog style is still different. I’ve linked an image to illustrate http://i62.tinypic.com/m7dm6r.jpg

    Also, the vertical gray line for the sidebar area is still not there.

    Anyway, are the widgets supposed to be pushed down below the last color segment? Surely that’s a bug?

    Thanks,
    Karl.

    Hi!

    Can you either take a screenshot of your avia layout builder layout or provide a temporary admin login so we can take a look at exactly what you have live?

    You can set your response as private here on the forums and only we will be able to see it.

    Hey!

    You need to set the page’s layout to “No Sidebar”. We edited the page. Please check: http://6hm3.com/home/

    Hi Ismael,

    Yes but please see the first post:

    “If I put the blog shortcode in a 75% width segment and the page template with no sidebar, then insert a 25% width section with the widget shortcode, I encounter two problems. The first: the blog element style changes and forces me into a center justified layout with thumbnail on top. The second is that although the widget appears, there is no vertical dividing line between the blog content area and the sidebar.”

    I already tried that and the blog style change and the sidebar line disappeared. Just to clarify, I’d like the thumbnail to remain on the left side not go up and center, and would like the grey line that separates the blog and widget area to remain visible. Is that doable?

    Thanks!
    Karl.

    Hey!

    No, unfortunately this is not doable. You can not add two blog elements with sidebars to the same page. I recommend to insert the blog at the very end like

    
Full width section with content slider
Full width section with content slider
etc.

Blog content | Sidebar

    Best regards,
    Peter
