• If i wanted to create a page that the sidebar that did not show up when the page is accessed .. how can i pull that off? Is there a way to turn off the sidebar on certain pages?

    To still have the rest of the page build itself up but w/o a sidebar. I have a schedule i would like to fit int he middle of my site as a page but with a sidebar it looks way to condensed, i want to remove the sidebar so i have more room to work with.

  • You might want to check out this:

    You could write an if statement to check to see if it’s the homepage (to show the sidebar) or if it’s not the homepage (to take away the sidebar).

    For example:

    if(is_home()) {
    the_sidebar();
    } else {
    // whatever else you want
    }

    I have tried to understand this, but can’t get this to work in my page.

    Where do I put the above-mentioned code? Inside the sidebar.php ?

    Or in the page-template file? (page.php)

    Put it within your loop – the index.php file. You have to change “is_home” to the name of the page you don’t want it to appear. I’m no expert on this one, but I’m pretty sure that’s what you do (and if someone wants to correct me, then by all means…!)

    Alternatively, you can kludge it with CSS. It’s not as clean – but it might work in the meantime…

    In the header of the page that you don’t want the sidebar to appear, put in:

    <style type="text/css">
    #sidebar {display:none;}
    </style>

    Be sure you place that as close to the closing </head> tag as you can get it.

    Like I said, though – it’s not as clean and easy as getting that code up there to work. I’d definitely try to figure out how to make that code work – it’d be well worth the time spent. But in a pinch, the above will work, too!
