    I know this is very basic, but I need a bit of help…
    I am adding Forums to my blog, The Discerning Photographer, (theme is Mimbo 3.0) and I
    need to remove the sidebar from the new Forum page:
    https://thediscerningphotographer.com/forum/

    I tried duplicating my page.php file and simply removing the line that calls the sidebar; this errored out the whole page.

    Any simple instructions about how to proceed greatly appreciated!!

    Can you tell me exactly where to place this in the stylesheet, Andrei?
    Would it go inside the existing content brackets, below the regular specification for 620px content for everything else, or inside its own brackets, or where?
    Sorry, I know this is incredibly basic.

    Incidentally rahendz, I tried making the change in the forum-php file as you suggested but the content stayed 620px…

    Try adding it to the bottom of style.css.

    OK, adding #post-4038 { width:910px; } to the bottom of the
    stylesheet does not seem to work. My content on that page remains at 620px.

    It doesn’t matter where you place it, since it isn’t used anywhere, but as esmi suggested place it at the bottom of your stylesheet. In Mimbo it would be right after rss{}.

    I can’t seem to see that you changed your css file. Are you sure you overwrote the file?

    Here’s a link to the css file with the code pasted at the bottom.

    Is it possible that the ‘Content’ tag is taking precedence over this addition for this page?

    My page is still conforming to the 620px content well.

    The page looks fine now. You likely looking at the cached version. Refresh cache with Ctrl-F5 or just delete browser’s cache.
