Enable sidebars in Panel Page template

  • I’m modifying the Shoreditch theme using a child template. Only the default page type appears to support sidebars, but I’d like to include one in my parent page of the Panel Page Template. Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

  • Hi there!

    We’ll need to change the way Shoreditch decides how to style the Panel Page, by removing a class from the body element.

    Start by adding this to the functions.php file of your child theme:

    // Removes no-sidebar class from the body_class array on Panel Pages.
add_filter('body_class', function (array $classes) {
    if ( is_page_template('panel-page.php') ) {
        unset( $classes[array_search('no-sidebar', $classes)] );
    }
    return $classes;
}, 12 );

    Next, we need to call the sidebar in the panel template.

    Copy panel-page.php from the parent theme into your child theme.

    Just above this line:

    get_sidebar( 'footer' );

    add in this:

    get_sidebar();

    Now we have a sidebar, and some of the basic styling will begin to carry over.

    Add the following CSS to handle the rest of the alignments, widths, and positioning:

    
.page-template-panel-page #secondary {
    width: 90%;
    margin: 0 auto;

}

@media screen and (min-width: 895px) {
.page-template-panel-page .site-content {
    width: calc(100% - 3em);
    margin: 0 3em 0 0;
}

.page-template-panel-page .content-area {
    float: left;
    width: 70%;
}

.page-template-panel-page .hentry-wrapper {
    padding: 0 1em;
}

.page-template-panel-page #secondary {
    float: right;
    padding-top: 6em;
    width: 25%
}
}

    That should do the trick – let me know what you think!

    Chad, thank you so much for your support. I ended up switching themes, but your details here should be helpful for someone else–or me, if I end up going back to it!
