    Hello there!

    My issue is that I want to create just a SINGLE page on my site that uses a different template than the the standard one. E.g. On a single page, rather than having the sidebars, there will be no sidebars.

    Is this possible? Thanks!

    If you want to see what I’m getting at, go to

    You can see that the forum is very squished and I’d like to take off the side bars. Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    For a page to use a different template, you need to first create that template PHP file (in which you won’t call any of the sidebars). At the top of that file place the following text (I’ve just called the template “Forum” here but you can use whatever name):

    <?php
/*
Template Name: Forum
*/
?>

    Then in the WordPress Admin panel, edit the page and in the Page Template section, select the “Forum” template from the drop-down list.

    Hope that helps.

    It absolutely helped!

    Essentially I just created another template w/out the right sidebar and it looks fantastic. Thanks a bunch Vaughan, you rock!
