Force a Custom Post Type To a Certain Layout in Genesis Theme in WordPress

April 16, 2014 3 Comments

You can force a certain custom post type in a Genesis WordPress theme to have a certain page layout applied to it. You can add a function and filter to your functions.php file in your WordPress theme. This will save having to manually go through and resave the layout settings in WP dashboard at the post level, or going forward you just want to ensure a certain custom post type follows the same  page layout.

To force the custom post type to go  full width:

function themeprefix_cpt_layout() {
    if( 'your-custom-post-type-name' == get_post_type() ) {
        return 'full-width-content';
    }
}
add_filter( 'genesis_site_layout', 'themeprefix_cpt_layout' );

Just swap in your custom post type name in the if statement.

To force the Custom Post Type to use the other Genesis layouts just swap in the one of the values below in the return value above.

icon-chevron-right content-sidebar
icon-chevron-right sidebar-content
icon-chevron-right content-sidebar-sidebar
icon-chevron-right sidebar-sidebar-content
icon-chevron-right sidebar-content-sidebar
