Widgets

Hi there,

Changing the content layout to No Sidebar should definitely work.

I see that it’s an archive page so you will need to use filter:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/sidebar-layout/#using-a-function

Let us know if you need help with the specific conditions in the function ??

I don’t quite understand why this is an archive page. It is the page which people go to to see the course choices, then they select the appropriate course.
It is not a page which is going to change historically so I can’t understand how this has happened.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like the plugin you are using made it an archive page.

add_filter( 'generate_sidebar_layout','tu_custom_category_sidebar_layout' );
function tu_custom_category_sidebar_layout( $layout )
{
 	if ( is_archive() )
 	 	return 'no-sidebar';

 	// Or else, set the regular layout
 	return $layout;

 }

Adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

I used code snippets to add the php code you provided.

Is there a refresh delay on updating the page?

So far it is not working.

I have done a debug of the sidebar and it shows as “sidebar 1”
and it reads “always show”

Do I need to remove this?

It should be instant. Try this instead:

add_filter( 'generate_sidebar_layout', 'tu_custom_cpt_sidebar_layout' );
function tu_custom_cpt_sidebar_layout( $layout ) {
    if ( is_post_type_archive( 'course' ) ) {
        return 'no-sidebar';
    }

    // Or else, set the regular layout
    return $layout;
 }

No joy with either one.

Then it’s likely the post type you’re using is using a different page template isn’t of the GP template. Which plugin are you using?
