Remove left sidebar but keep right widget area?

Two easy ways you can do it.

1. In the page.php template. You can add an if/else statement. This tells the site: if the page is (your-page-name) then do not display the sidebar, else display the sidebar. Its a simple code to implement.

2. Or you can create a specific page template for the page in question (your-page-name.php) add it to your themes files and copy and past everything from the normal page template and just delete the line that reads “get_sidebar();”. This menas that wordpress will use this template for the page in question. You can read more about this method here

The first option is a bit more friendly, but if you want to make further changes to the template file then its probably better to create a new page template file as option 2.

No! Do not edit the theme itself. First create a child theme for your changes.

@knoppys: Please do not encourage users to edit their themes.

Soz esmi. Should have said create a child theme first. Used to creating my own themes.

Thanks knoppys, I appreciate it. I am using a child theme for the first time, not as difficult as I once thought!
