How to get rid of sidebars??

  • Hey I want to use a certain theme however I want it without the side bars.

    For example the “search button, categories, recent posts” etc.

    I would rather have individual page headers at the top just below the banner.

    The reason I don’t want the sidebar because it squashes my forum plug in and it doesn’t look right!

    anyone care to help?

  • Remove <?php get_sidebar(); ?> from index.php and others.

    Unless your theme has an optional sidebar, it can be a little tricky.

    Removing the contents can be easy, depending on the theme: just remove the call to get_sidebar() in the simplest case.

    Expanding into the empty space can involve many changes to the style.css to widen other parts of the display. This can be particularly troublesome if images are involved, or if some items have the size coded in the HTML instead of the CSS.

    Bottom line, that can be a lot of work for a volunteer.
