Whatever happened to parent Layouts?

Ce fil est résolu. Voici une description du problème et la solution proposée.

Problem:
On older sites the client used the Toolset Starter Theme which involved created parent and child Layouts. That doesn't seem to be possible with the recommended themes such as Astra.

Solution:
Parent and Child Layouts were a feature of "fully integrated" themes, and is no longer recommended. To use Layouts to design the whole page using parent and child Layouts would require manually integrating themes.

A self-documented example of such a theme where you can see what is required can be found here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/retired-toolset-theme-integration-plugins/

2018-01-24 11_44_02-Edit layout ‹ Rykon Construction — WordPress.png

I am trying to create a Parent + Child Layout. Which I thought this would already be Integrated with the Astra Theme. But every link I click, and every Help bubble doesn't tell me what I need to accomplish to get these layouts integrated.

I have attached a screenshot to hopefully help clear the air.

Hi Justin

Parent Layouts with Astra is not supported.

You are probably aware that there was a major change to Layouts about a year ago now where support for any theme was added—but only to design the content area of the page, not the entire page as used to be the case with Layouts.

Although we now actively discourage that, it is still possible to use integrated themes to design the whole page. The integration plugins for Divi, Avada, TwentySeventeen etc. are effectively retired but still available (https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/retired-toolset-theme-integration-plugins/). Any other theme would require manually integrating, by creating a child theme and rewriting all of the PHP templates as required. That would be tricky because we don't have any documentation for it, though if you want to try this I can show you a sample theme that you can study to see what is required.

Astra is one of the themes that is part of the Beyond Pages program, meaning you have control over theme options for each of the Layouts you create, so, for example, on a Layout for pages you can specify no sidebar, on a Layout for posts a left sidebar etc. The options available depend on the theme.

Hi Justin

Here you go: hidden link

It is produced by a Toolset colleague, but is not an official Toolset theme.

It is self-documented, hopefully you can follow what's required.

That was a great starter theme. I have been modifying it a lot to create it my own.
Thanks!
