Help customising theme “mandigo-14”

  • Hi all.
    I am really new to wordpress and I am no wizz when it comes to css.

    I have a several page blog and on one of the pages I have my flash slideshow plugin that I want to fill most of the area on that page. Problem is its overlapping my sidebar.

    How do I go about removing the sidebar for this page only?

    This is a downloaded theme remember.

    Thanks

  • Howdy,

    You create a template page then assign that template to the page with your Flash slideshow.

    To make a template page take a functioning page such as page.php or comments.php, add to the top just below <?php:

    /*
Template Name: Your Template Name
*/

    That is the easy part. Next you have to customize it to suit your purpose.

    Curious, what theme are you working with?

    Oops!

    Ive still got no idea how to do this. If anyone has this theme and can build/modify the template needed and host it for download I would really appreciate it.

    Follow the instructions given by flashbuddy, but on your new template page delete the code that reads <?php get_sidebar(); ?>. That will remove the sidebar.

    To expand on flashbuddy’s suggestion, go into your theme folder, copy page.php and give the copy a new name.

    Add 

    <?php
/*
Template Name: Your template name
*/
?>

    at the top of the page.

    When you then go to create a page to host your flash presentation you’ll select that template from the drop-down list.

    That’s it. It’s not rocket science and you don’t have to understand what you’re doing as long as you do it.
