??

check your other folder please

I’m sorry, I’m having the hardest time acquainting myself on skype. I just created the account and I do not see any message board or forum or any way to add you as a contact.

I’m not familiar with this communication platform.

I have a skype created

jacob.henderson511

On my live server.

I’m logged into my control panel editing the code straight from there

Ok so get this…

I make the page visible in the menu
and past the code in my page.php
and create custom fields to disableSidebar with a true value

AND IT WORKS!!!

It has to be something to do with my search bar.

Maybe there are settings for the search bar that are making the sidebar appear?? I have no idea

I appreciate you going out of your way but unfortunately I do not have a webcam.

I’m baffled. If we deleted the sidebar code in the php then it should be impossible that it is still there.

I cleared my cache and deactivated the plugin

I have the search.php in my child theme folder and my appearance/editor is pointing to it along with my other child themes

I edited the parent theme as well, but again, since I’m using a child theme it won’t be affected

Thank you again for your help, but unfortunately the side bar is still there!

It worked initially then when i searched the page again and other hidden pages it pops back up.

Wouldn’t that be impossible though?

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying Search Results pages.
 *
 * @package Kavya
 */

get_header(); ?>

	<section id="primary" class="content-area">
		<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">

		<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

			<header class="page-header">
				<h1 class="page-title"><?php printf( __( 'Search Results for: %s', 'kavya' ), '<span>' . get_search_query() . '</span>' ); ?></h1>
			</header><!-- .page-header -->

			<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

				<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'search' ); ?>

			<?php endwhile; ?>

			<?php kavya_paging_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>

		<?php else : ?>

			<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'none' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

		</main><!-- #main -->
	</section><!-- #primary -->

<?php // look to see if we've disabled sidebar in a custom field, if not show it
$disableSidebar = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'disableSidebar', $single = true);
if ($disableSidebar !== 'true') { get_sidebar(); }
?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thank you so much for helping. I’m just so confused why the sidebar would keep appearing after I refresh

It works but the side bar appears after I refresh the page.

Is this a cache thing?

well… it was working, now it’s not.

:/

AHHHH!!!!

I didn’t create a child search.php!!!

YOU’RE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your help!!!!!!!!!!

I’m so sorry I didn’t do a good job of explaining my problem but you helped me soooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay!!!!!!!!!!

hmmm…

I just pasted

<?php // look to see if we've disabled sidebar in a custom field, if not show it
$disableSidebar = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'disableSidebar', $single = true);
if ($disableSidebar !== 'true') { get_sidebar(); }
?>

into the search.php to replace it with

php get_sidebar

and it didn’t work?

I do not believe I have an extra side bar.
I’m pasting the code in my child theme page.php

I mean, can I just hard code my page.php to just exclude
a particular post ID since I just need one page side bar
excluded?

I pasted this bit of code in my page.php

‘<?php // look to see if we’ve disabled sidebar in a custom field, if not show it
$disableSidebar = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘disableSidebar’, $single = true);
if ($disableSidebar !== ‘true’) { get_sidebar(); }
?>’

I’m trying to edit a hidden page that you can find by typing in WWLF family in the search bar.

I just need this one page without the side bar, but I believe this code was supposed to allow me to create custom fields for any page and disable sidebars by setting the value to true.
