Choosing a page template when using a child theme - UNITE theme

Unite Theme
1

I am using the unite theme on my wedding website:
http://wedding.benandtamara.com

I have created a child theme with it because I don’t want to edit the actual theme (as is best practice) . . .

However, it will not let me choose what page template to use.

I am stuck with always having a sidebar and I would rather use the full width page template.

case in point:
http://wedding.benandtamara.com/wedding-party/

or

http://wedding.benandtamara.com/our-story/

I already tried adding that file to the child theme (didn’t work) . . . the option doesn’t come up in the page on the sidebar.

what can I do?

thanks,
Tamara

Hi Tamara,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

I have tested it on my test site by using a child theme of Unite theme which i have attached to this reply and found the pages are displaying full width for me if i select full width page template for them as shown in the attached screenshot.

You can make the shared pages full width by setting the full width page template for them as shown in the attached screenshot or you can make them full width by adding the following CSS code in the style.css file of your child theme.

body.page-id-10 div#primary,
body.page-id-12 div#primary {
  width: 100%;
}

body.page-id-10 div#secondary,
body.page-id-12 div#secondary {
  display: none;
}

Best Regards,
