How to make a specific Tag archives page not display sidebar

I want better control over how my Category and Tag archives pages are displayed. I’d like to be able to control if they have a sidebar with them, and if it displays the entire content of each post within that archive, just an excerpt from it, or just a link to the post. (the latter two similar to search results – example)

How can I display a tag archive page with no sidebar and/or with only an excerpt or link to each post instead of the full content? (which can make the page massive)

Sorry if this is more of a general WordPress question than a Vantage theme question.

Thanks,
Ben

    Hi Ben

    You could use an addon like Jetpack Widget Visibility or a plugin like WooCommerce Sidebars to control whether or not your sidebar displays on a given category. If all sidebar widgets are set to not display, the sidebar won’t be displayed.

    Excerpt vs full content settings are global in Vantage. You can control those from CustomizeTheme SettingsBlog. It would take custom development to change those settings for specific archives.

    If you’re using Full Content, it’s assumed that you’ll most likely be using the read more tag to manually split your posts. More on that quicktag here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More.

    Hope that helps a bit.

    Thanks a ton Andrew, very helpful!!

    Today I realized I could edit it by Customize>Page Template>Taxonomy>Tags when hitting Customize on the Tag archives page in question. Editing the page layout there eliminates the sidebars from all my Tag archives rather than just one, but I guess I like it better than I thought it would.

    Thank you for the tips, the other stuff is good to know too, especially if I use WooCommerce sometime.

    Thanks for the feedback, I’m forgetting the functionality of our own theme! Page Template Settings are ideal for many of the adjustments we’ve discussed.

    Really glad to hear you’re making progress :)
