blog – get rid of the sidebars

  • Dear community
    Greetings!
    I will make this short: I have a blog divided into three sections (languages), and each section has its own category in order to classify the content more clearly.

    I add posts for each section (language) as a convenience of visitors to choose the content. However, I would like to get rid of the left sidebars (Recent Post, Recent Comments, Archives and Categories) placed exactly in each of these sections (languages) and I also want the same thing in its corresponding categories as well.

    So far, the content after clicking on each topic properly classified by category it is clear. I mean it does not show me the sidebars. That’s my target with the above mentioned.

    Any help? tia!!!

  • Hi myamerica,

    I’m a little confused.

    Are you saying that you do not want to get rid of the sidebars, you just want it to list different links? And those links should be each of the languages followed by their respective versions of Recent Posts, Recent Comments, Archives, and Categories?

    What is your site address? That might help me to better understand.

    Dear starxedsteph

    Thank you for your feedback and sorry to let you confuse. The website is this:
    https://www.laaglobal.com/

    I am trying to get rid of the sidebars, for example:

    – Click on my blog tab section: you will see all content but not classified by category. I would like to see only the post belong to English and not mixing all the post of different languages.

    – Click on my blog —- English Post: you will see the title English Post and then the sidebars on your left. I do not want the sidebars in there.

    – Click on my blog —- English Post — Submenu/ Category — Culture-
    Languages and you will see the corresponding category, at this point in here I do want the sidebars but only belong to this category, and so on.

    Any idea, I would like to the same for the other languages.

    thanks in advance!

    Best;

    Luis A.

    Hi Luis,

    I think I understand now. I’m assuming you want all the English posts to show on the “English Post” page too?

    If you don’t have categories setup already for English, Spanish, and Vietnamese, you need to add those. Then edit the subcategories to make the relevant language the parent of each subcategory. To do that — edit the Culture-Languages category and select English from the dropdown for “parent.”

    Now you will have pages that list all the English, Spanish, and Vietnamese and you can point the “blog” menu item to the English one if you want and just change the menu title to Blog. Then it will be the same page as the English Posts page and, if you choose to have a sidebar on that one, it will too.

    If you really don’t want the blog page to have sidebars but want the English Posts page to have sidebars you could make some changes to exclude the Spanish and Vietnamese categories from the main blog page.

    This requires editing some code or you may be able to find a plugin to do it. Just look up “exclude categories from blog page” or something along those lines and there is a lot of discussion about that.

    Next – custom sidebars for archive pages

    I would recommend a plugin for this which makes it really easy. The one I normally use won’t work with your theme but I found this one which seems to be highly rated and has the ability to set custom sidebars for archive pages which is what you need.

    I know that’s a lot of information but hope it helps!

    Hello, I am struggling to get the category page ( https://goo.gl/DoplPK ) to centre align or make it appear like a fullwidth page when I click on the option(digital marketing) from the blog(hover) in the main menu.

    Please help.
