Layout of custom post type “single”

[creatureworks]

Hello, I have created a custom post type “event” and am trying to control the layout of a single event post. Single event posts are currently showing post meta and a sidebar, both of which I do not want.

In KLEO settings, I have the Main Layout set to No Sidebar. In the Blog settings, I have Single Post page Layout set to right sidebar (because I want a right sidebar in my Blog posts). It seems that my single event posts are using the same layout as the blog. How can I change the single event posts to use a full-width (no sidebar) layout?

I have tried duplicating and editing content.php to content-event.php – in both my child theme and in the Kleo theme – and it does nothing. I also tried duplicating and editing single.php to single-event.php, again in both themes, but it does nothing. I must be missing something. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello, please try by adding this to style.css of child theme

COPY CODE

.sidebar.sidebar-main.col-sm-3.sidebar-right {
    display: none !important;
}
.template-page.col-sm-9.tpl-right.with-meta {
    width: 100%;
    border: none !important;
    float: none !important;
    margin: 0 auto !important;
}
.article-meta {
    display: none !important;
}

I know I could hide it with CSS, but that’s far from ideal. I was hoping for a more elegant solution.
Can you advise why creating my own content or single template is not working?
Or, is there is a way to enable layout options for my CPT in the theme settings?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, css its very easy to use, and fast, it shouldn’t be an issue, but if you need it to be done at the template file, i could take a look, i would need ftp access please 🙂

We figured it out:
Duplicate single.php to single-event.php in the child theme.
Duplicate content.php to content-event.php in the child theme.
Then, you must tell the single-event.php to call the content-event.php file:
<?php get_template_part( ‘content-event’, get_post_format() ); ?>
(This is not done automatically as a result of the naming convention as I previously assumed. It must be edited in the single-event.php file.)
Posting in case it helps anyone else in the future!

Glad you could resolve it! 🙂
