Removing the sidebar in the POOL theme

    I’m using the Pool theme… and I’ve been finding it tough to get rid of the text in the sidebar without totally destroying the page. The white background disappears when I delete the sidebar text, and then the footer is pulled into thetop right column. How can I simply delete the sidebar text without losing the white background and screwing up the footer placement?

  • The easiest solution I could find was to continue to call the sidebar from the footer, but make the sidebar.php this (this is the entire file code):

    <!-- begin sidebar -->

    <div class="both"></div>

    </div>

    <!-- end sidebar -->

    You need that div there to clear the float.

    There’s probably a more elegant way to do it, but that’s a quick hack.

    Thanks a lot FruitFly, that works. I would like to find a way to standardize the length, though. Right now the white area expands to fit the text, but with multiple pages, it means that the length of the white area will vary depending on the length of the text.

    Not a big deal, and once again, I definitely appreciate the prompt assistance!

    I’m going to leave this issue unresolved for a couple days, just to see if anyone else wants to chime in. If not, I can certainly live with it.
