Hello:

I’ve purchased Simple Catch Pro and am wondering if there is full width template. I need just a simple full width page template as a wrapper for something else – an event calendar plug-in specifically. Here’s an example of what I mean:

http://dev.cthumanities.org/events/

It’s picking up the right sidebar – which is what I’ve default selected for the site – but I need to add a full width template to a sub-directory for the plug-in so it will use full width. Can you tell me what that’s named? Or, can this be ‘fixed’ with CSS?

Thanks,

Lisa

Hello Lisa,

Yes, there is full width layout option that you can change for particular page. Just edit that page and below your page editor you will see “Simple Catch Options” metabox, there you will see “Sidebar Layout Options” and you can change that to “No sidebar, Full Width” and update your page.

Note: Your event page has missing closing div for main wrapper and it is destroying design of footer.

Hello Sakin:

I wish it was that easy. The plug-in I’m using is complicated. They have a default wrapper template that contains the content – i.e., the events – whether that’s a list view, a month view, the single view, whatever. I’ve selected the right hand sidebar as my default for the site and the plug-in is picking up that default template. I can’t just go to the plug-in page and select a new default for that page. I must actually go in to the directories, create a new folder and copy template files in there so it picks up the template I want to use for events, which is full-width.

I need to replace their default wrapper with the full-width one for Simple Catch so that it displays as full-width.

Thanks,

Lisa

Hello Lisa,

Ok then try adding in the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:

.events-archive #primary {
    margin-left: 0;
    width: 100%;
}

Hi Sakin:

It looks fantastic in Chrome – just the way I want it to look. Is there some way to do the same with Explorer and Firefox? I know browsers behave differently, but I don’t really know why they wouldn’t read css the same way.

If this can be resolved, then I’m home free! Well, except for that closing div that you mentioned. Have to go find that.

Thanks for your help Sakin.

Best regards,

Lisa

Hello Lisa,

About that closing DIV you need to ask to that plugin support. Then for CSS, looks like there is issue in Custom CSS that you have added in. Can you paste all your css from Custom CSS box in https://gist.github.com/ and add in URL here then I can check in.

Hello Sakin:

I haven’t followed up on this because of the terrible news from your country. This is the last thing you need to worry about, but you and your country have been in my thoughts. The good news is that for whatever reason, now things look fine in both Explorer and Firefox. It’s a mystery.

I’ll try to work with the plugin developer for the footer issue.

I hope things are improving in Nepal. We hear little news after tragedies like this pass from the headlines, but that doesn’t mean things are all better.

If there is any support I can give you, please let me know.

Lisa
