Vantage Blog Page: Sidebar is below content – Bug?

By AnjaT, 6 years ago. Last reply by Alex S, 6 years ago.

Hello,

I love Vantage, never had any problems until today –
Now I just installed WP 4.9.4 and Vantage from scratch.

And suddenly on my blog page, the sidebar appears below the looped articles!
Also, for the blog page, the vantage page templates in page attributes disappear in the backend.
On single blog posts, everything is okay, but not on the main blog page with the loop.

You can see the problem live on https://wireframe.anja-teuner.de/blog/

Thanks for help,
regards,
Anja

    Hi Anja,

    Based on the markup of the linked page, this is happening as a result of the page being set to the custom home page template (page builder home). Can you please open the linked page in the editor and head over to the sidebar and find the Page Attributes box. Set the Template to Default Template.

    Hi Alex,

    thank you very much for your quick reply.
    But like I wrote: “for the blog page, the vantage page templates in page attributes disappear in the backend.”
    Which is why I cannot do what you propose (thought that was part of the problem).

    Please have a look at my screenshot:
    https://wireframe.anja-teuner.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Blog-problem-3.jpg

    Below “Eltern” (=Parent in English) there is no dropdown for the templates!
    It is miraculously gone. It is there to select for any other page, but NOT the page set for blog. When I change the settings for this exact same page and make it an ordinary page (not blog page), the dropdown box re-appears.
    Doesn’t matter which page I set to blog. Dropdown box for templates disappears and the sidebar gets lost below the posts. And I cannot change to the standard template for Blog where it would be important…

    So this seems to be part of the problem / bug…
    Hope so much you can help. Didn’t happen with my earlier installations of WordPress or Vantage…

    Thank you
    Anja

    Hi Anja,

    Sorry for the delay.

    Oh! Sorry, no that’s correct (you can’t adjust the template of the blog page) – not too sure why I thought otherwise.
    Would it be possible for you to create a temporary admin account for us so we can log in and take a look at your setup overall?
