Hi Bhanu,
No, the children pages should not inherit the custom template unless you select the template from the drop-down. Although if you wanted to get crafty, you might be able to write some PHP to do it automatically for you. Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Bert

Hi Berchman,

Thanks for this great tutorial.

One question though - if we use a custom sidebar template on Sidebar-3 page (as used in this tutorial), will this custom template be used on all the children pages as well (e.g. /sidebar-3/custom-page-1/)?

Cheers

Hiya!

Thank you for this. I am having a slight problem, tho, as WP bounces back " Call to undefined function sidebar_3()" when I call sidebar3(); inside my function.

I have registered the sidebar with the code you offer up top and have dragged widgets into it via visual editor, but I get this error. Which makes sense, because I don't define the sidebar_3() function anywhere in the code. So how are you seeing the sidebar at all, when in your example you never actually define function sidebar_3() either?

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!
Kat

@Clegeard
your conditional statement is using "is_category"
Try using "in_category" to see if that helps.

Excellent posts. I have a question:

how to indicate you want to target all of your blog posts with a particular sidebar and not your pages?If you can target by category do you still write...if (is_page(category-name))...Or, how do would you build a function to test for all, any, categories to render one custom sidebar for all blog posts?

Thanks again for helpful tutorials.

Hi Chris,
Could be your Multimedia box, pretty sure it is.
You can turn that off in Thesis design preferences.
Hope this helps.

I'm still struggling with this. I was thinking thesis was easier to change than it is. I don't like the "hooks" yet.

Is there a way to remove the sidebars for a custom home page layout? (I used your tutorial to create multiple custom pages, but would like to remove sidebars on certain custom pages.)

Hi ccmkramer,
If you login via FTP you can open your custom_functions file and take out the offending php.

The error is in your custom_functions.php file. Once you remove the offending code your site will come back online.
Hope this helps.

I put this in my custom_functions.php.:div#sidebar_3.sidebar, div#sidebar_4.sidebar {
width: 217px;
}

div#sidebar_3.sidebar {
float: left;
background-color: yellow;
}

div#sidebar_4.sidebar {
float: left;
background-color: silver;
}

and got this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/ccmkrame/public_html/wp-content/themes/thesis_18/custom/custom_functions.php
on line 32

My website is completely gone (only the above error shows), and I can't get into my admin panel to take out what I put in either (again, only the above parse error shows). Can someone help?

Thanks for the tut! I'm trying to accomplish the same thing at Christian and Ken, hiding my second sidebar on specific pages. I looked for the 4 layout/CSS tut you mentioned but didn't see it, please let me know if I've missed it.
