How to display a custom widget area after entry on Posts that use Full Width layout in Genesis

by 1 Comment

Carly asks,

Can somebody advise me on how I could register a new widget area but ONLY on pages I've set to be full-width.
I'm basically looking to add a new widget area in that space, after my content.
I already have an 'after content' widget on EVERY page. I'd like this widget SOLELY for full width pages. Is this something that can be done easily? I just cannot think how I'd target those full width pages only...

Here's one way of doing this in Genesis:

  • Register a custom 'After Entry Full' widget area.
  • Display it after the Post for only those Posts that use Full Width layout.
  • Turn on the visibility of after-entry widget area for all Posts (this is built-in Genesis).
  • Set after-entry widget area to NOT appear for Posts that use Full Width layout.

Sample screenshots:

A standard Post using the default layout (having a right sidebar):

post-with-sidebar

A Post in which Full Width layout has been applied:

no-sidebars-post

Step 1

Add this in child theme's functions.php:

  • If the theme has after entry widget enabled already is it better to remove that action then add it back with a custom function so we can hide it on full width pages, or is there a filter to remove it conditionally?
