Side bar won’t show up when I make a custom home page, magnifying icon search not working.

By angelaread, 8 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 8 years ago.

The side bar is not showing up on the custom home page which is called Testingpage. It shows up on all the other pages. Have been having problems building a custom page. I need to put two slide/carousel into one page so I need the custom page. How do I get the side bar to show up in custom home page?
The magnifying icon is not working? How do I get it to work? Can you have a search tab and the magnifying icon both working at the same time? If not can you hide the magnifying loop.
I’m just getting the content setup so its not properly set yet but I need to figure out how to get the custom home page to look the the home page now with added media carousel. I need that side bar. Please help!

    Fixed the magnifying issue it was a recipe widget that was the culpritTwice cooked Recipe Cards
    Still can’t figure out the sidebar issue. The header text on the iPad version is also not being responsive it topples over to the icon. Please let me know how to fix both issues

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi Angelaread

    Try going to Pages > Home or whichever is your home page and set the page template to Default using the right column drop down menu. Continue to edit your home page from there and not from Appearance > Home Page.

    Not quite with you here:

    The header text on the iPad version is also not being responsive it topples over to the icon.

    Which header text?

    Thanks!

    I have a header text that says The online Community of Canada’s Favourite Cookbooks which crosses over the icon of Best of Bridge in the iPad version

    Hi, I Work Here

    You can fix/change this with some custom CSS. If you navigate to Appearance > Custom CSS, you’ll get our custom CSS editor. Just add the following code.

    /* Vantage Header Responsive Breakpoint */

@media (max-width:1150px) {
  body.responsive header#masthead .hgroup {
    text-align: center;
  }
  body.responsive header#masthead .hgroup .logo {
    float: none;
  }
  body.responsive header#masthead .hgroup .logo img {
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding-top: 0px !important;
    padding-bottom: 0px !important;
  }
  body.responsive header#masthead .hgroup .support-text,
  body.responsive header#masthead .hgroup #header-sidebar {
    position: static;
    display: block;
    margin-top: 30px;
    max-width: 100%;
  }
  body.responsive header#masthead .hgroup .support-text img,
  body.responsive header#masthead .hgroup #header-sidebar img {
    max-width: 100%;
    height: auto;
  }
  body.responsive header#masthead .hgroup #header-sidebar {
    padding-top: 0 !important;
    padding-bottom: 0 !important;
    height: auto;
  }
  body.responsive header#masthead .hgroup #header-sidebar .widget {
    display: block;
    margin: 0 auto;
    float: none;
  }
}
