Problems with the virtual pages
Permalink Browser Info Environment
Im still having difficulties with my virtual pages. Is there a way to edit these pages with a particular; personal style, blocks, page types, design etc., and how do I have to do this? To get an idea:
-http://www.aci-computers.nl/blog/... This is my main page, and if you then click on an article you get redirected to a virtual page which has its own style. I would like to modify this.
-http://www.aci-computers.nl/blog/laat-uw-website-maken-door-stb-web... This is a virtual page. I would like to decide per page whether the sidebar is visible or whether I want more articles on the page (it’s a wordpress entry block). At the moment, it automatically ‘copies’ that block from the main page, so if I were to delete it, the sidebar would also be gone from the main page. Also, currently I can’t decide myself on the number of articles in the sidebar, since this has a standardized style that always only shows one article.
To summarize: I would like to choose per page if I want to keep the sidebar, and I want the possibility to have the sidebar which I have on the main page, on every page. What is the best solution ?

So I have added some screenshots to let you see exactly what I want and how.. Can you please help me out? I've been waiting a long time and If I cant resolve this problem I have to cancel the plugin.. Please leave a message before tommorow otherwise I have to cancel it.
Please take a look at the "custom template" section ofhttps://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/wordpress-for-concrete5... you are looking for the "page_multiple_posts" and "page_single_post" templates, which modify the behavior between the blog listings and entering into a single blog post.
Beyond this, you can also make two blog sections, one that has the listings, and one that has the post content. There's an option to set a "blog" page when you add the add-on block. This will cause all the links the user clicks in a listing to redirect under there. In this way, it would be possible to make the listings have different blocks then an individual blog post page.
Further, you could create a Concrete5 template that overrides the add-on to customize the behavior even further, filtering blocks per page type, etc.
I'm simply afraid, though, that having unique blocks per post is not going to be supported. The intention of the add-on is to transparently reproduce all of your WordPress content in Concrete, it does not generate hundreds of Concrete pages which are editable. You can imagine this from the opposite perspective, when you want to improve your blog, you do not have to edit every single blog post page in order to make it behave the way you want
