Sidebars adds itself to sub-pages ?

Hey there Carsten,

Hope you’re well today!

I’ve tested this and I can confirm it, sub pages are inheriting sidebar from their parent pages.

You should be able to override it with selecting specific sidebar for that sub page or by selecting a template without sidebar for that specific page if your theme has that option.

Hope this helps ??

Best regards,
Bojan

Hey again Carsten,

A quick follow up after checking this with plugin developer. There are 4 checks for single pages:

1. Current page
2. Parent (one level up)
3. Category of the page
4. Post-type

Hope this helps ??

Cheers,
Bojan

Thank you Bojan ??

Yes, i used that as a work around, making a template without sidebar.

But in a way, that should not be the case, be course then you can’t just choose a sidebar, when it ends up on pages that it was not meant to be on. It should only end up on the chosen one.

I would like to put this on the request list.

Hey again boblebad,

You can also simply select specific sidebar for that sub-page and it will override the one that is inherited from its parent page. This was added to plugin so it has specific hierarchy of which sidebar it will ad to specific page in order posted above, similar to how templates work.

I’ll suggest this to plugin developer to possibly ad an option that will remove this so it will be considered to be added in the future.

Best regards,

Thank you again Bojan ??

The option could be to pass-on to sub-pages or not.

I′m surly not the only one with a design that uses sidebar a on the main page and none the sub-pages. I need full width to display the data there and a sidebar is not needed.

It will also be better for the site in whole. Be course first having some code activated that is not needed and then have to put-on a work around to cover up the first code.

With the option to pass-on or not. You don’t active not-needed code and you don’t need the site to work with an extra template ??

All the best
Carsten

Hey again Carsten,

Just to clarify something, Custom Sidebars is not adding sidebar to the template but rather just replacing default theme sidebar that is already being called in the template so if your sub page is using template that does include sidebar even with the option to not use it that same page will not be displayed in full width but it will just have blank space in the place where sidebar should be (it will display empty sidebar.)

Either way in order to not display any sidebar in the page you’ll have to use template that doesn’t use sidebar at all so your page can be full width.

Hope this makes sense ??

Best regards,
Bojan

Thank you for clearing that up ??

Interesting though, cause the site should not use sidebar pages.

That i’ll have a look into.

But still it would be great to have the option whether to pass-on the sidebar to sub-pages or not.

Glad that helped ??

As I mentioned above I’ll definitely pass this on to our developers so it will be considered as a possible feature for the future updates.

Have a great day!

Cheers,
Bojan

Thank you very much ??

All the best to you too
Carsten
