Hello again,
I am using “0 sidebar layout” as default layout with frontier and elementor pro.
I want to make custom single post template in frontier with or without elementor.
For example
I want to Single Post Template with 3 colums without any widget.
Basically,
Is it possible to make template that could be used as default single post layout with 3 colums without plugin?
or
How can I do this with plugin?
Many thanks for your helping.

You can copy/make your own page template then rename the file as singular.php
It would then be the default template used for single posts.

you know, I want to use no sidebar as deafult layout on the site

at the same time, I want “2 sidebar, full width” layout for single posts

I tried to make what you said

my goal is to try, left sidebar + single post content + right sidebar

I registered the template save as “special-post-template.php”
and sent it to the frontier folder

The template content is as follows:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Special Post Template
Template Post Type: post
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php get_sidebar( ‘left’ ); ?>

<?php
the_post();
get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘single’ );
?>

<?php get_sidebar( ‘right’ ); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

but, the view on the page has not been side by side
I was not able to prevent the following page view

left sidebar
single post content
right sidebar.

it is very difficult for me, which is very easy for you

but it’s quite exciting to learn these steps for me

I’m trying to understand the basically

If the explanation will be long and it will take a lot of time for you, or if it is a very complicated situation,

Please do not respond

thank you very much for your understanding

🙂

Try this:
Rename the file you created “special-post-template.php” to “singular.php”
Then add this to the customizer -> additional css:
```
#main {
    display: flex;
}

#main #content {
    order: 2;
}

#main #sidebar-left {
    order: 1;
}

#main #sidebar-right {
    order: 3;
}
```
Caution: Just in case you don’t know. If you’re not using a child theme your changes will be deleted when the theme is updated.
