Okay, so that answers the question then. Ugh, that sounds like a lot of effort, and doesn’t make changing themes easy haha. Thanks, I guess I’ll have to look at another plugin then.
I understand that GD has its own “sidebars”, but they aren’t the WordPress sidebars. My problem is that from the GD pages, they kill off the WordPress sidebars. For example:
Here’s an example theme homepage, note the theme sidebars:
Here’s the GD homepage, note the room for sidebars, but none appear:
Here’s the details page for an entry. Again, no theme sidebars:
For whatever reason, both in this sample theme (Hueman) and my original theme on the live site (Fullby Premium), these pages do not actually maintain the theme’s sidebars. Makes it pretty difficult to keep a consistency to the site.
Okay, so I think I’ve come up with the main issue I’m having. None of the themes I’ve tried will actually show the theme sidebars on details pages, listing pages, etc. The GD pages just want to get rid of the sidebars and use its own aside containers for the sidebars. The two main themes I’d like to use are Fullby Premium and Hueman (both have other GD users with the same issues from searches here).
I know there’s the Theme Compatibility Settings, however I’m not sure exactly how that’s supposed to be used. I can’t find any documentation to explain exactly how it works. And from existing support threads, I don’t see any explanations either. You guys just jump into a site and work some magic, and that’s that.
Would it be possible to provide some sort of tutorial or walkthrough on how we could do this ourselves? I’m not necessarily looking for the work to be done for me, I just would like to know HOW to do the work lol. I’d assume that this would lessen the support load on you guys by quite a bit.
Gotcha, thanks.
So, then am I to understand that it’s by design that the behavior of the pages to NOT put the content ahead of the widget columns? This is how it’s supposed to work?
I think I see my first mistake, I wasn’t looking at the GD Home page, but instead the Places archive.
So that said, is there any issue with renaming the GD Home page to something like Directory? Or do the pages all need to be named what they were out of the box for any reasons?
