Fullwidth template problem Twenty Twelve

[jerryvandenberg]

When I select the fullwidth template for my activity single page, it removes the sidebar, but the width of the site content is still at 65.104166667%. I checked this using the ‘example page’ to see if there’s something wrong with the template, but the template is correct.

To make the content occupy the full width an extra CSS class has to be applied. What Twenty Twelve tries to do is detect if the full-width template is in use and add that extra class – but for a number of reasons that process doesn’t work in this case.

What we can do though is add a snippet of code to our theme functions.php file which should resolve this for events pages.

Does that help at all?

Don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Can you tell me where and how I implement this code snippet in the functions.php (of the Twenty Twelve theme is assume?). I copied the code behind your link and pasted it in the functions.php, but the page broke.

This is de error I get:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare full_width_events() (previously declared in C:\wamp\www\bebasic\wordpress\wp-content\themes\twentytwelve\functions.php:470) in C:\wamp\www\bebasic\wordpress\wp-content\themes\twentytwelve\functions.php on line 126

If you have already added a function called full_width_events() then you will not be able to add a second of the same name.

In that case, you could rename the function I provided – so, within the snippet I provided, wherever it says full_width_events you might change this to bebasic_full_width_events or otherwise make it unique.

Does that help?

Getting there. There is one thing that seems strange. The event calender appears on both: ../bebasic/workshops/ and ../bebasic/workshops/categorie/workshops/ On the first one the content is 2/3 of fullwidt. The second is fullwidth.

So you’ve got a category of events that is called workshops?

When I test out fullwidth template with an events category (using the above snippet) everything seems fine to me. Can you provide a URL where I can see the problem, or are you developing locally only at this point?

[jerryvandenberg]

Hi Barry, I need to implement the snippet still with your suggestions and get back to you. I am developping locally so I can’t send you an URL yet.

Hi Barry, looked for the full_width function and it was already there in my functions.php??? Anyway, it still returns the same page with the content at 2/3.

It isn’t part of Twenty Twelve, so you must have added it twice somewhere along the line (if indeed it is exactly the same and doesn’t simply share the same name).

Anyway, it still returns the same page with the content at 2/3.

That’s a shame 🙁

All I can really say is that it solves the problem for me – I can’t really offer anything else since if I understand correctly you are developing locally. If you do move things to a web-accessible URL though and still need help just let me know and I can take another look and see if there are any obvious clues as to why it isn’t working.

Thanks!
