I know a quick fix would be to add a custom CSS, but I was wondering if there's a more efficient turnaround like creating a template and using that template for the Downloads pages so that products appear on a cleaner view. If CSS is the only workaround, can you please share with me the EXACT CSS code so I can hide: 1) header
2) sidebar (all of it)
3) the author bio at the end
Also how can I make the book cover look smaller and not occupy all the page? Is there a way to center the purple button and make the font bold and bigger? Thank you,
To create a custom template for Downloads pages in Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) that removes the sidebar, author bio, and provides a clean layout without relying on custom CSS, you can create a specific template file for single download pages in your active theme or child theme.
Here are the steps:
Locate the single.php file in your parent theme folder.
Copy this single.php file into your active child theme folder.
Rename the copied file to single-download.php.
This new single-download.php template will be used by EDD to display single download product pages instead of the generic blog post template.
To remove the sidebar and author bio:
Open single-download.php and remove or comment out any calls to get_sidebar() to eliminate the sidebar.
Remove or comment out any code related to displaying the author bio.
This approach gives you a clean layout specifically for your download product pages without needing custom CSS.
In this case, I recommend building a custom single post template using Elementor, then assigning it to your custom Download post type by going to Appearance → Customize → Single Posts → Custom Post Types Builder.
But just for this https://mayneza.com/downloads/diario-de-gratitud/ page the scenario is different, so if I do what you're suggesting me do, would the change ONLY apply to this page, or to all single article post pages like the one I showed earlier?
No, it only applies to the post type you’ve assigned. For example, if you assign a custom template for the Download post type, it won’t affect the Single Blog Post type.
Hi,
I'd like this page https://mayneza.com/downloads/diario-de-gratitud/ to look like this other one: https://mayneza.com/descargar-cuadernillo-gratitud/ with this type of header, no side bar, no author bio at the end, more clean and neat. It's a "Downloads" page with the plugin Easy Downloads .

Thank you! but if I do that, wouldn't all single post (blog articles) change layout as well?
For example, I do want this blog article, single post, to stay exactly the same: https://mayneza.com/frases-estoicas-estoicismo/ - with side bar, author page, header, etc.
