Remove one of two sidebars

    I’m trying to remove one of two sidebars (which doesn’t have any widgets) and extend the content of the post over that empty area. Is that possible?

    Alternatively, I’d like to center the sidebar I’m using – otherwise there’s a lot of empty space between the post and the sidebar, and it looks neglectful.

    Hi there, the following CSS hides the sidebar you are not using and adds the width of that sidebar to the content.

    .sidebar-left {
    display: none;
}
.site-main {
    width: 71.5%;
}

    If you have not yet done so, I would suggest creating a child theme so that any customizations you make will not be overwritten by a future theme update. Alternately you can use the Edit CSS function in the Jetpack plugin, or use one of the other Custom CSS plugins that will keep CSS changes from being overwritten.

    Hi Sacredpath, thank you for the help!

    I ended up using a child theme plugin, adjusting the post width to 60% and the sidebar to 30%. That’s pretty much what I wanted!

    Thanks again!
