Comment on Stallion Responsive SEO Theme Layout Options by SEO Dave.

WordPress 2 Column Layouts There’s no way to set a layout out the box to disable a sidebar, not easily anyway (would be a nice feature mind you).

With the single sidebar layouts the Left and Right sidebars stack on top of one another.

I added a Widget Display Plugin to Stallion, so you can set widgets not to/or to display on specific categories, posts/pages so if it was a single post you want to disable widgets really easy to do.

Under Stallion Layout set Widget Display ON.

Under your widgets page there will be new options under many widgets (not all). If it’s a new type of WordPress widget that allows for multiple uses you’ll find lots of settings at the bottom of the widget including Hide On Checked.

If you wanted a widget not to load on a particular category you’d set Hide on checked and tick that Category. If you want a single Post not to show a widget you have to find the Posts ID.

You can find a Posts ID by editing the Post and looking at the URL of the edit screen, it will look like this

wp-admin/post.php?post=24&action=edit

The post=## bit is the Post ID, so in the example above the ID is 24.

If you typed 24 in the “Comma Separated list of IDs of posts not listed above:” box that Post would no longer show that widget.

This Stallion feature doesn’t work on the older widgets, the ones I’ve marked XX are all old widget code, a few not marked XX also don’t have this option (like the Facebook widget).

You would set all widgets within a sidebar to hide one at a time.

The Custom 01 layout uses a css file (that you have to create) in the folder /stallion-seo-theme/colors/layout-custom-01.css (the file currently won’t exist).

It’s available if you want to make adjustments to a layout without editing the layout css files, if you wanted to do something to the file layout-410r.css to change the 400 right layout rather than change the file layout-410r.css you would make a copy of the file layout-410r.css and rename it layout-custom-01.css and make your css changes to that file. This means you don’t mess/break the built in Stallion layouts.

If you want even more control install a Stallion Child Theme, there’s a free one on this site. This gives more options for editing and means you don’t loose your edits when you update main Stallion.
