Hi @ericdrichards
1. To create a child theme you need to create a folder name theme-name-child.
2. Now inside that folder you need to create two main file functions.php and style.css and for the solution of your problem sidebar.php as well.
3.Now in function.php you need to copy and paste the following code.
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
4. Now in style.css you need to copy and paste the following code:
/*
Theme Name: Road Fighter Child
Theme URI: https://www.inkthemes.com/wp-themes/roadfighter-wordpress-theme/
Description: The Road Fighter WordPress Theme is a simple and beautiful theme with lots of customization options that can tweaked by Theme Options Panel like logos, intro texts, background etc. The Road Fighter Theme supports five widgetized areas (two in the sidebar, three in the footer) and featured images(thumbnails for gallery posts and custom header images for posts and pages).

/*
WARNING! DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE!
To make it easy to update your theme, you should not edit the styles in this file. Instead use
the custom.css file to add your styles. You can copy a style from this file and paste it in
custom.css and it will override the style in this file. You have been warned! :)
*/
5.Now in sidebar.php delete all the code and save it as empty.
6.Now activate this child theme that’s all.
7.Report if any problem faced during this process.
Thanks and CHEERS!!!
