where can i find the form for single articles??

i’m confused, i can’t find anywhere to edit what the single article page looks like. i’ve looked everywhere and can’t seem to find it.

basically, i want it to look exactly like my main page.. but for some reason when i click the link to an individual article, 2 of my divs just simply disappear. i have no idea why and i can’t figure out where to edit it??

example:

on my main page i have

LOGO
SIDEBAR-1
—sidebar article 1
—sidebar article 2
—sidebar article 3
—etc
CONTENT
—content article 1
—content article 2
—content article 3
—etc
SIDEBAR-2
—sidebar-2 article 1
—sidebar-2 article 2
—sidebar-2 article 3
—etc

so when i click on “content article 1”

my page looks like this

CONTENT ARTICLE 1
SIDEBAR-2
—sidebar-2 article 1
—sidebar-2 article 2
—sidebar-2 article 3
—etc

the logo and sidebar-1 are completely gone. does this make any sense ?

Re: where can i find the form for single articles??

You need to look at the “page” and “forms”. Likely what you are seeing is that your articles are set up to appear on the “archive” page if you have the default TXP settings. Your archive page (or whichever page displays your articles) can be adjusted to display what you want.

In the forms tab, you will find the “default” form and the “Single” form. Edit those to display the articles as you wish.

Basically: Pages contain the design, forms are responsible for the actual content display.

ahh awesome. thanks. for some reason i always thought ‘archive’ was an actual archive of the default page.
