Custom Community Side Bars

  • Hi Guys,

    I have been trawling high and low for the past two weeks, putting it on the back burner, bringing it out again to trawl through more of the internet to find out that i cant find a solution any where, so hopefully you guys will be able to help?! i cant create a thread on the custom community site unless i pay (which i cant afford…)

    What CC theme provides for side bars as standard:
    The ability to have a left side bar
    the ability to have a right side bar
    the ability to have both side bars
    the ability to have no side bars

    what i want:
    the ability to have ONE page set up with both side bars,
    the rest of the pages to have Left only side bars.

    issue:
    If i set the default side bars to both left and right, when nothing is assigned to show in the right side bar, it still shows. I have used other sites where i have not had this issue but cc happens to be the best theme ive used up untill this point!
    If i set the default side bar to be left only, the right hand side bar just doesnt work and i cant then go into the pages and select the theme to be both left and right, it only allows me to set the page theme to be ‘dafault’, ‘full width’ and ‘links’ (if im honest, im still unsure of the reason for links)

    Could any body help me either create NEW themes, or change the ‘links’ theme to be Left side bar only?

    I was thinking if it was possible to have the ‘links’ as left side bar only then i could set that as a theme for all the other pages and have the default set to both left and right.
    This would solve ALLLLL of my issues, but i cannot work out how to get it to work. I have played around with the CSS and PHP to my hearts concent and cannot work it out.

    after looking on the CC theme forum i noticed alot of people who had ‘sidebar’ related issues solved this with child themes, but this has made no difference to me =/ and if im completely honest, child themes confused me… im not new to web design by any means, but i am new to word press, could some one help or point me in the direction of help?

    Thanks,

    Andeh

    i dont suppose any one has a solution to this or could point me in the right direction for this fix?

    you can fix this by editing the page, right hand side set the page template to right and left sidebars.
    this will over ride the default left only setting for only that page.
