Removing the menu bar on full wight page

Are you using a child theme?

yes, made a twentytwelve-child but misread the instructions and threw in the entire css file and stated editing massively so to late now. I’ll be hating life come upgrade time lol.

Just looked and in the child theme I have
footer.php
sidebar.php
single.php
in addition to the style.css. But I haven’t done anything with the footer as of yet.

Esmi. I’m assuming you went offline last night. I’m hoping you are around today and have the time to help me out.

Is this full-width.php template file in your child theme?

no, but I can make it so and thank you for responding.

Oooo should I place it in a template subfolder like it came in the zip?

Once you have done that, drop a copy of that file into the pastebin and post the url here. Someone should be able to help you to remove the menu call in that template file.

Place the full-width.php file in the child theme’s folder.

Done, And thank you Esmi for you help.

That code should work just fine. There’s no call to <?php get_sidebar();> in it (it would normally be just before <?php get_footer(); ?>).

However, you may still have to add some new CSS to your child theme to get the main content area to now stretch across the page to take up the space left by the now-missing sidebar. Try something like:

.site-content {
    float: none;
    width: 100%;
}

I’m sorry Esmi but I don’t understand. The code I posted will bring in the header with the menu. As for the sidebar this is the template that has none. I checked the original download and it is the same.

Oooooo I see. I think you misunderstood me Esmi and thought I wanted to remove the sidebar which isn’t the case as it’s already gone on this template. I want to remove the menu bar for this template only.

Sorry! My bad! In order to omit the top nav menu, you need to create a custom version of header.php in your child theme called something like header-nonav.php. On this new template file, you’ll need to remove:

<nav id="site-navigation" class="main-navigation" role="navigation">
			<h3 class="menu-toggle"><?php _e( 'Menu', 'twentytwelve' ); ?></h3>
			<a class="assistive-text" href="#content" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Skip to content', 'twentytwelve' ); ?>"><?php _e( 'Skip to content', 'twentytwelve' ); ?></a>
			<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'menu_class' => 'nav-menu' ) ); ?>
		</nav><!-- #site-navigation -->

Then go back into full-width.php and change get_header(); to get_header('nonav');.

Esmi You’re not bad, You’re GREAT!!!! Thank you very much for taking the time to help me.

For all the other nobs like me it won’t work unless you put the full-width.php in a subfolder called page-templates just like it is on the regular twentytwelve theme. Or at least it wouldn’t work for me. Problem is you won’t be able to edit it from WP like you can the other files. So do your editing and then upload it.

Thanks again to Esmi
