    Hi Ben,

    When the 404 error page is shown, it defaults to the Double Sidebars layout.

    Is there a way to change the layout to No Sidebar?

    Thanks,
    Johnny

    PS: I have a child theme to modify functions.php.

    Hi Johnny,

    There are a few ways you can approach this with a child theme, but here’s what I think is the simplest method.

    Copy both sidebar-left.php and sidebar-right.php from Mission News into your child theme. Then add the following snippet to the very top of both files.

    if ( is_404() ) {
  return;
}

    That simply checks if the current page is the 404 page and will exit the file without running any of the code which means no sidebar is output.
