Hi there,

I have the ‘Fortunato Pro’ theme installed and it has a ‘hide-able’ side bar – I have the full GD package installed. The problem is that the widgets (non GD) within the side bar disappear when I am using the GD part of my site (i.e. “Discover Gaia”).

Please refer to my website to see what I mean: http://www.thegaiatravels.com

On all pages the non-GD widgets work fine in the side bar however as soon as I am on the GD pages those widgets disappear (“Discover Gaia”)

Please advise

Damien

Thank you and appreciate the awesome plugin

Hi,

that is because GD pages have their own sidebars and widget areas. You will need to add your widgets in the GD sidebars too.

Let us know if that was the problem.

Thanks

Hi Paolo,

Yes I understand that. I meant how come my ‘normal’ widgets don’t display in sidebar when on GD pages.

They appear normally on the theme’s original side bar but they seem to disappear when I’m on the listing pages.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Damien

Hi Damien,

Since it is using the GD sidebars on GD pages, you’ll have to manually re-insert the Widgets from the theme’s original sidebar.

Hi,

your theme will not be able to add its sidebars to GeoDirectory pages, that’s what we tried to exaplin both Kor and I.

GeoDirectory pages will only use their own sidebars, so you will have to add the widgets that you want on GD pages, through GD pages widget areas.

Hope it’s clearer now.

Let us know if it’s not.

Thanks

Hi Paolo and Kor Chung,

Ok thanks for that. I will look into other ways to display the widgets then.

Cheers

Hi guys,

I was just wondering, since my theme doesn’t support GD’s widgets, would you guys be able to tell me how to remove the whole sidebar altogether? i.e. the “accordion” menu on the top left (refer to – http://thegaiatravels.com/discover-gaia/)

In other words, I don’t want to use my theme’s sidebar on GD pages. I just want to include the GD sidebars on GD pages.

Could you please instruct me on how to remove my theme’s sidebar function on GD pages only?

Many thanks

Damien

You can add this to GeoDirectory >> Design >> Scripts >> Custom CSS:
```
.openSidebar {
    display: none;
}
```
Let us know how you went,

Thanks

Hey Paolo,

That worked however it ended up removing it for all pages. Is there a way to only take it off only for Geo Directory pages?

Thanks for your help and patience

Yes,

change that to :
```
.geodir-page .openSidebar {
    display: none;
}
```
Let us know if that works.

Thanks
