I'd like to modify the lay-out for "single blog posts"..
like remove the sidebar
place the post title below the featured image... (although the post title isn't displaying at all... how to fix this?)
give the overall page-background a color gradient from the top...
eventually I'd like to add some widgets in columns below the main article.
How should I do this?
(haven't attached a related URL for this instance, as the whole website will be moved from development domain to the actual public domain this weekend... so I did attach a screenshot instead)
To remove the sidebar, go to wp-admin>theme options>posts settings.
To move the post title, you have to modify or create a new single post template. We cant assist you on that path because this is beyond the scope of or support. You can create a new single post template with elementor Pro or you can modify the single-post.php file in the child folder. Another is the hide the title, and add a new one with elementor for each post.
Sonaar doesnt have the opiton to apply a gradient as the page background but you can do it with a custom CSS code. Please go to wp-admin>theme options>custom css/js And add this code in the custom css field:
You are able to add some widget with elementor editor, but you will have to do it manually for each post. If you want to insert those widgets directly in the single post template, you will have to create or modify the single post template.
As mentioned before, customizing templates is beyond the scope of our support, but you can purchase a customization service
In the post-editor settings I have toggled on the option "Display post title as heading", but doesn't bring up the post title. I haven't seen any parameter in the theme options/single-post about this also.. so what am I missing here? :-)
Oh sorry I was not clear enough. I was guessing the option hide title was enable, but it is not the case, I mean not where I thought. I have done a double check, I can see the title is hidden by some code provided by elementor. I think this is set in the h1 global style but I need a login credential to the wp-admin to find where exactly.
Hi, I have fixed the title issue by removing classes from our theme to this elementor title hiding option. And we was already awared from the revolution slider issue. This is something new since the last slider revolution version. I have downgrade the plugin to fix temporary the issue. No worries, this task is already on our roadmap.
One last question about a small issue I find a bit odd here... although it works by almost all text-areas, there are some where the "initial" (or "drop cap") doesn't work. Do you eventually know anything about that?
For example in the "Podcast Jingles section" of this page (right column).. I've toggled it on/off a few times, tried to copy styling from the other text fields where it does work, but no result...
If you need to login, let me know, I'll turn on the admin-capabilities for your login.
Dropcap issue just solved myself. Some unnecessary html tags in the text prevented it from showing. Removed them and now the dropcap appears to be working. :-)
Importing demo content is highly recommended but it is not required. Sonaar has lot options. It could be disconcerting to built your site from scratch. But as you already know Sonaar and you already has another sonaar site to refer too, maybe you will done well. This is really up to you.

Hi Rene,

You can create a new single post template with elementor Pro or you can modify the single-post.php file in the child folder.
Another is the hide the title, and add a new one with elementor for each post.
And add this code in the custom css field:
.single-post .perspective{
background: linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(2,0,36,1) 0%, rgba(6,6,116,1) 35%, rgba(0,212,255,1) 100%);
}

Thank you Alexandre,
For further customization we'll look on that later.. For now most of all is fine..
Just 1 think, about the post title... unlike the page demo on https://demo.sonaar.io/studio-elementor/we-are-finalist-the-international-music-festival/ , the post title isn't showing on our post page at all, actually.

Thanks in advance.
Hello Rene
The option to hide the title is available in the post setting. see here
Thanks,
Alexandre from the Sonaar.io Crew
Hello,
lol.. actually I don't want it to be hidden. I want the post title to be shown instead! that's precisely what I don't get... :-D
so please, how should I?
Oh sorry I was not clear enough.
I was guessing the option hide title was enable, but it is not the case, I mean not where I thought.
I have done a double check, I can see the title is hidden by some code provided by elementor. I think this is set in the h1 global style but I need a login credential to the wp-admin to find where exactly.

Hi Rene,
Sorry for the wait,
I presume you should have a drop cap here.
May I have access to the wp-admin please?
Thanks,
Alexandre from the Sonaar.io Crew
Good morning.
Dropcap issue just solved myself. Some unnecessary html tags in the text prevented it from showing. Removed them and now the dropcap appears to be working. :-)
Well done Rene

Sonaar has lot options. It could be disconcerting to built your site from scratch.
But as you already know Sonaar and you already has another sonaar site to refer too, maybe you will done well. This is really up to you.
If you want to install sonaar for its player only, you should consider using our mp3 player pro.
