Hi
3 ways.
1.use a blank page using sharepoint designer
2. remove applied master page for an existing page
3 use &isdlg=1 on your URL ( to hide the top of the master page elements )
http://domain/path/page.aspx&isdlg=1

Hi,
You can associate master page during feature activation as follows:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/19933.sharepoint-2010-set-a-custom-master-page-during-feature-activation.aspx
Then, you can use feature stapling to apply automatically on site creation:

Create a custom Master Page in SharePoint Foundation 2013

Hi,
I am new to SharePoint foundation.
I am trying to create a custom master page and save it as template, so that i can use it for all other sub sites. But i don't know where to start. Also i tries searching in Google, i got results for share point and not for share point foundation.
So, Please give me a step by step procedure or a link to step by step procedure on how to create a master page, save it as template and use it for a sub site.
Thanks in advance,
Gowtham R

Few points to note related to SharePoint Master page:
You don't need to create master page template. If you deploy your master page in site collection level you can reuse the same master page in subsites without copying again and again, rather just by referencing
You have not mentioned how you are going to deploy your master page. If you have any Visual Studio (VS) solution already, try to add your master page in the VS solution and deploy your master page (and other branding components) as SharePoint WSP
solution.
Deploying master page will not activate the master page, you need to use some kind of 'Web Level Feature' to activate your branding - the feature will basically set the master page property of SharePoint site to your custom master page.
Please follow the links below for steps by steps instructions (and you will find many just by googling 'sharepoint master page visual studio'):

Setting the custom master page through powershell is NOT working

Hi,
I am writing the below code to set the custom master page through powershell.
But its not working .when i went to site settings-->master page --> in the drodown , the maste page set is seattle.master ONLY, though my current master page is available in the dropdown.
Can anyone pls help, whether i am missing in the below :
      Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell
       $SiteURL = "http://srvr1:22307/sites/SPW5"
    $weburl= $SiteURL
    $Site= Get-SPSite $SiteURL
    $web = $Site.OpenWeb()
$web.CustomMasterUrl = "/_catalogs/masterpage/myMasterpage.master"
$web.MasterUrl = "/_catalogs/masterpage/myMasterpage.master"
$web.Update()
Das

Hi,
Is it a publishing page? If yes can you try the PowerShell scripts corresponding to the following code snippet?
var publishingWeb = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(web);
publishingWeb.CustomMasterUrl.SetInherit(inheritFromParent, false);
publishingWeb.CustomMasterUrl.SetValue(masterPageUrl, false);
publishingWeb.MasterUrl.SetInherit(inheritFromParent, false);
publishingWeb.MasterUrl.SetValue(masterPageUrl, false);
I've noticed sometime (not sure though) that Master page doesn't get updated if the inherit property is not updated first.
Thanks,

Auto-hostep app with custom master page does not allow custom workflows

This has been troubling us all day. We have a sharepoint 2013 auto-hosted app. We wanted to simply change the site logo of the master page but it was easier said than done. Finally we had to create our own custom master page with our own site logo to overcome
this issue.
Now we are trying to add a custom workflow in our app. But the instalment of the app always fail with this message:
3> CorrelationId: cec727fc-bbf9-4499-ae36-6a7d05f3ae8c
3> ErrorDetail: There was an error during the operation.
3> ErrorType: Configuration
3> ErrorTypeName: Configuration
3> ExceptionMessage: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
3> Source: Common
3> SourceName: Common App Deployment
After many hours of searching I came across this
post that sums up the problem to this:
Do not use the WebTemplate element in the app manifest to designate any of the built-in SharePoint site definition configurations as the app web's site type. We do not support using any of the built-in site definition configurations, other than APP#0, for app webs.
Thus, if you would like to include your workflow to SharePoint-hosted app, you have to use APP#0 template.
I am fairly new to the sharepoint 2013 app development and having so many problems just because we wanted to have a different site logo is making us focus out of the important stuff of our app. Isn't there a simple way for us to change the app's site logo
and add a custom workflow? Has anyone come up with a solution?

Have you configured SharePoint Workflow Manager in the farm? Not sure if you are familiar with but in SharePoint 2013, there's a new component called Workflow Manager that needs to be configured to use SharePoint 2013 workflow.
Thanks,
Sohel Rana
http://ranaictiu-technicalblog.blogspot.com
I am using SharePoint Online. I have enabled the following site feature:
Workflows can use app permissions
Allow workflows to read from and to write to all items in this site.
just in case but it makes no difference. When I stop using my custom masterpage the app can install just fine and the workflow is working. When the custom masterpage is enabled the app won't install with the workflow. I am required to remove the workflow
to install the app.

Apply custom master page for a new sub site in programming

Hi;
How Apply a custom master page for a new subsite ?
My code is as follows but it not working : the master page is not applied ?
SPWeb newSite = web.Webs.Add(name, name, name, Convert.ToUInt16(1036), "{815BF557-AFE0-42B4-92A1-A8A56011EDBF}#LaPoste.DTC.ModeleSite", false, false);

Setting Custom Master page in search results page - Publishing site

Hi,
I have a publishing site, in which i have a custom Master page.
However when doing the search in the site, the search results does not show the custom Master page.
Is it possible to set the custom created Master page for the search results page? How to achieve this?
Thanks

Hi Venkat,
The search page for a publishing site is a file available in the layouts folder (I believe it is the osssearchresults.aspx if you see the address bar). It is used by all web applications and site collections in your farm. So ideally you should not change
it. I mean you can change it to point to your master page but it is bad practice ..
I would instead do the following
1. Create a custom search results web part page and place it in the site collection itself (one of the document libraries)
2. Custom search results is not difficult because all search results pages are made of a set of Out of the box search results web parts. If you add the same webparts to your page as the default search results page, you have effectively created a copy of
it
3. go to site settings --> search settings and change the search results page to your newly created page
4. The newly created page by virtue of its location will automatically use the master page the rest of the site uses.
I could not spend the time to try the above for you but I am sure the above will work.
Thanks and Regards,

Custom Master Page changes wont apply to few page layouts

Dear All
I'm having issue applying custom branding to SharePoint 2010 sites.. Branding works overall fine but it doesn't apply to few pages.
For example if I click on Enterprise and Metadata Keyword Settings in Document library the changes are not applied. I notice it's a page called metadatacolsettings.aspx in layouts and I see it references application.master.. Similarly I see couple
of other pages out of sync and all of them have application.master as Master Page..
Any ideas why this could be happening.. Please let me know
Thanks

Hi,
pls check below links
There are a few things to consider.
Have all page layouts / master pages been checked in and published / approved?
Have you created a new page using the custom page layout?
Are you creating or modifying this content?
Keep in mind, the progression of rendering goes as follows:
masterpages determine the ASP.NET structural layout.
Page Layouts determine the SharePoint structural layout based on the masterpage ASP.NET structural layout.
Your .aspx pages determine what content to display based on the Page Layout SharePoint structural layout.

Custom master pages don't appear in all site collections within same App

I created an additional site collection within an existing application which has a preexisting site collection.
The preexisting site collection uses a custom master page:
.../_Layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
that doesn't appear in
.../newsite/_Layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
Anything I need to do in
.../_catalogs/masterpage/forms/allitems.aspx
to apply the masterpage to the new site?

Hey,
I don't get the problem completely. I undestand that your custom masterpage, which you created once for an existing site collection, does not appear in a newly created site collection. So what where your deployment steps for the custom masterpage?
Generally you would create the masterpage via Visual Studio and deploy it within a feature to the catalogs library, either in web-scope or in site-scope. A feature event receiver applys the masterpage to the current website (in web-scope) or to all webs
in the site collection (in site-scope) on feature activating. But in both scopes you need to active the feature in every site collection (or website).
So please tell us how you deployed the masterpage.

How to set custom master page for social/sites.aspx in sharepoint 2013

File path is
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\SocialDataStore\SocialDataStoreList\sites.aspx
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You could open the sites.aspx in Notepad or SharePoint designer, and set the master page to your own master page directly via editing:
<%@ Page language="C#" MasterPageFile="~masterurl/custom.master" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.FollowedContentWebPartPage,Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal,Version=15.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"

Applying custom master page on layout pages

I am applying my custom master page on application layout pages which I am deploying using visual studio. My issue is; I have to copy my custom master page in the same directory where my layout pages exist otherwise its not working.
I want to deploy my custom master in the default master page directory and refer it to my layout pages.
is it possible or I have to copy my custom master page in the layout page directory ????

Hi Nazish,
By default your application pages will inherit the masterpage currently applied to the site where your app is hosted, but to specify a custom master on a app page you have to set the "CustomMasterURL" property on your site.
Next your application page needs to inherit from the "LayoutsPageBase" class and you need to specify your custom masterpage on your application page with "~masterurl/custom.master"

Transferring Custom Master-Page, Custom Page Layouts and Pages created to a new SharePoint Site.

Hi All,
I have a SharePoint 2013 Publishing Site for testing named 'Test'. In the Test I have created a Custom Master-Page and several Custom Page Layouts. Also using them I have created several pages. Now they all are connected to the navigation. Now I want
to transfer all the pages, custom master-page and custom page layouts to a new site (a publishing site) that will be used as production. Will I able to do this or not. Please advice me with best practices.
Thanks and regards,
Chiranthaka

Hi Chiranthaka,
thanks for posting your query, The master page can't be copied in designer and pasted into the new site collection. A better approach would be to bundle it into a feature and deploy it to the farm where it can't be activated and used.
If you want to copy your master page to another site collection you can download your master page from the master page gallery and upload it to the the master page gallery of the second site collection. From the root site Site Actions > Site Settings
> (Galleries)Master pages and page layouts
If you want to deploy the same master page to multiple site collections using a feature, create a module in Visual Studio, add your custom master page to the module, and create an element manifest something like this:
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Module Name="Master Pages" List="116" Url="_catalogs/masterpage" RootWebOnly="TRUE">
<File Path="Master Pages\MyCustom.master" Url="MyCustom.master" Type="GhostableInLibrary"></File>
</Module>
</Elements>
The basic idea is to have your site-scoped feature include a module that copies your custom master page from the file system to the masterpage gallery. Since the feature folder is shared, the same master page gets copied to the site collection master page
gallery whenever you activate the feature.
I hope this is helpful to you, mark it as Helpful.
If this works, Please mark it as Answered.
