Sidebars not showing and post excerpt malfunctioning

bambuseo

Hello,

The site/page concerned here is: http://laradiospecialist.com/podcast/

Issue #1

No matter what I do, I can't seem to get a sidebar to show on this page. The page above is a custom post type, which I copied the blog/portfolio archive and single pages for and simply modified to use my "podcast" post type. I will post the code below, as I'm sure it's a really simple issue but I just can't get a sidebar to show on that page, or on the individual podcast posts (which I'm sure is the exact same issue).

Issue #2

If you look at the first/bottom post, it has a full excerpt there of the first paragraph's H4 content. But, the other newer articles display a limited excerpt instead. It's fine if they just show the same length of excerpt (whether that's the full H4, or a word count), but I don't understand why there's a difference across them. All of the posts are created the same and follow the same format.

Thanks so much for your help!

The code is too long to post, so I'll just post the part that mentions the sidebar;

<div class="blog_wrapper isotope_wrapper">

<div class="posts_group lm_wrapper <?php echo implode(' ', $blog_classes); ?>">

<?php

$images_only = false;

if( $load_more || mfn_opts_get( 'blog-images' ) ){

$images_only = 'images_only';

}

echo mfn_content_post( false, false, $images_only );

?>

</div>

<?php

// pagination

if( function_exists( 'mfn_pagination' ) ):

echo mfn_pagination( false, $load_more );

else:

?>

<div class="nav-next"><?php next_posts_link(__('&larr; Older Entries', 'betheme')) ?></div>

<div class="nav-previous"><?php previous_posts_link(__('Newer Entries &rarr;', 'betheme')) ?></div>

<?php

endif;

?>

</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

<!-- .four-columns - sidebar -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

</div>

</div>

<?php get_footer();

// Omit Closing PHP Tags

Hi,

What you ask for, requires files customization what in reference to Item Support Policy is not allowed. So if you want to modify files and don't know how, you should contact with your web developer. Item Policy clearly says:
Item support does not include services to modify or extend the item beyond the original features, style and functionality described on the item page. For customization services that will help you tailor the item to your specific requirements, we recommend contacting the author to see if they privately offer paid customisation services or checking out the great service providers on Envato Studio

thanks

I do know how to edit these files, but can't find the place where <?php get_sidebar(); ?> retrieves its input from - could you at least point me in the right direction?

You should really have support for additional post types, it's an extremely common feature of WordPress websites.

<?php get_sidebar(); ?> gets the input from sidebar.php file.
Do not think we do not want to help, this is just the item support policy.
We still help a lot with custom CSS and some tips about the theme files.
