Hi there, As the title states i recently purchased vantage premium for a test project with woocommerce, i am really happy with the Theme but i have one problem , on the shop single item pages i would like to have NO sidebar, whilst keeping it on all the other pages, i have scoured the internet to find this is a comon problem with woocommerce unles the theme used has options built around woocommerce already built in to disable this feature, i have however found various different code snippets that allow me to remove the sidebar from the shop pages whilst still keeping it on all the other pages however this still leaves a space where the sidebar once was, i have tried numerous css selectors to make the content on the shop pages use 100% width but with no luck, i can however set the width of the pages to the desired pixel width and then use a negative margin to position it if i wanted to but then becomes the problem of responsive, although i am designing my project using media queries i would rather not take this route when dealing with just the shop page because this becomes quite a task for the shop page on a per device width basis rather than falling into place because i cannot just set it to full width, i do realize vantage has a full width template built in but on the shop page it gets overidden although it works on the checkout page for example.
I am used to designing websites using media queries so im no novice when it comes to css but the problem with this sidebar is really baffling me lol and i had to come post here to see if you guys have a solution to this? i have even tried overiding the single-product.php template within woocommerce and completely removed the call to the sidebar with no luck. I do believe with this issue resolved vantage would be really good with woocommerce, sidebars are not allways needed on every single page especially when being totally customized. hope you can help with this, thx.
I only paid a small amount for this theme to you whilst i’m testing it out, as i haven’t yet decided if i will actually use this theme until i can make it function as i intend, but i would happily be willing to donate more if i could resolve this problem as i may just opt to use this theme for my project.
P.S i do realize you have a code snippet included to remove the sidebar on mobile devices that works fine if you dont want the sidebar at a set min width but this is also not an ideal solution for me because im customizing the layout for each specific devices example: my website will look differently on an ipod compare to using it on an ipad etc etc, i like to always make my websites look and feel differently on each device this way rather than keeping one generic look, this also allows me to position everything exactly where i want it to be and be the correct sizes i want the user to see things at, i know this is a more advanced approach to custom designing with any theme but its just this one issue i cannot seem to get my head around above that is causing me a few problems, maybe i am overlooking something simple?
Hi Nutwinz
Thanks for reaching out.
Can you perhaps give one of the two plugins a try and see if you can set this up with one of them:
http://jetpack.me/support/widget-visibility/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/woosidebars/
Hi Andrew, ty for the reply but i dont even need to try those two plugins after reading their descriptions and viewing the video demonstration of woo sidebars, The reason? Well these only offer solutions of visibility of widgets in the sidebars and not the removal of a sidebar, i already use widget logic for the same thing. this is not an issue of what is displayed in the sidebar but an issue of making the single product page use a full width layout.
Can you perhaps give widget logic a try then. Vantage won’t display the sidebar if there are no widgets to display. So for example, on a regular page (Default page template), if you remove all the sidebar widgets, or just adjust their display properties to not show on that page, the page will display as though you’ve selected the full width page template.
Give me a minute or 2 please Andrew i think i have figured a few things out that effect vantage. give me 10 mins to explain , keep around bud and check back in here.
For sure :)
Ok you was infact correct about the sidebar displaying full page if no widgets are selected for single product pages using widget logic i can be sure of this. But the problem is all depends on what side you have your sidebar set as if you opt for a sidebar to be displayed on the right hand side instead of the left hand side vantage creates a problem.
This is what the problem was, you can easily go and replicate this yourself by testing it out yourself.
So to be exact, If you have a default setting of showing your sidebar on the left with vantage all is correct and how it should be, but if you choose to have the sidebar on the right hand side then the problem occurs and even without any widgets in the sidebar al;l the content gets pushed and squashed to the right.
Thanks for all the effort.
Vantage sidebar default is right.
Can you send a link to a problem page and I’ll correct with CSS from here?
lol i read that back and it did not make sense at the top of my comment,
I meant the page does infact display full width if the sidebar is set to the default location of left.
Damn im spending to many hours at this computer haha
Head slaps himself again!! I meant default location of right haha
I cannot give you access to the site as its a local install for now until i upload it to the net bud
Sure, one moment. With you now.
Apologies for the hassle. Please, try the following at Appearance > Custom CSS:
/* WooCommerce */ .woocommerce-page.woocommerce-cart.sidebar-position-left #primary, .woocommerce-page.woocommerce-checkout.sidebar-position-left #primary { float: none; }cheers Andrew that solved it, i tried numerous other selectors and setting the float to none etc , it really was frustrating me haha, n1 for the response on this matter, other than that im really liking vantage so far, i may just actually start work on this website using this theme now, i only donated a small amount to you guys initially for testing purposes, im normally used to paying 60-70-80 dollars for a decent theme so i will most definitely send something on top of what i already donated if i do use this theme as a finished product, thx again and keep up the good work, one thing i would like to mention is the lack of extra menu areas in the theme, if it had a couple of extra menu locations without having to add them manually like i have done via the use of extra widget areas into the header.php for use with other menu plugins this would be even better. 1 menu system themes are slowly dying out as more and more complex designs are being made and i think it would enhance this theme 10 fold.
Super, really glad to hear that helped.
Thanks for your support and considered feedback. All noted.
If anything else comes up, let us know.
All the best.
