I dare ya try and remove the sidebar with ease

  • Yes, you can remove it on the home page and on pages that you can edit and choose the full width template. But what about auto generated pages created by plugins? I am quite experienced with WordPress and I have never seen a them that goes way out of their way to make the code “edit-friendly” in the sense. Between the regular pages, template pages, content part pages, etc…there’s no easy way to remove the sidebar. This of course SHOULD be an option, even if the theme is free, but all posts on the web were not helpful, since the theme authors made it clear that the Free theme is limited regarding support. Would it be so hard to include instructions for the sidebar removal/ Instead you have several posts about it online and no answers…smh. I also got very turned off when I came her and read how sarcastic your comments are to people who were not happy with your theme. Are you that cocky that you think your theme is perfect and nothing can be wrong with it? That “losers” like myself, who didn’t pay anything are worth less than the people who bought your “premium” theme? Either way, enjoy your one star rating…cause you’re NOT perfect.

  • Hey,
    Sorry to hear about your frustration. I feel bad that we aren’t communicating well that we support the free version on these forums. I’ll have to make more mention of it around our site. Is there a certain place you looked where you didn’t get the sense that we support the free theme?

    I certainly apologize and feel bad that you think of us as being cocky, I don’t want to portray that at all and I appreciate the feed back.

    In terms of the sidebar. It depends on what page/post/custom post type your trying to target. It would be hard to have settings for every possible plugin adding a custom post type but I can certainly look into adding support for a specific plugin if you wanted to post what plugin it was.

    There is also a simple script you can add to your functions to control the sidebar based on a conditional. So we have child theme examples here: https://www.kadencethemes.com/child-themes/

    You could add this into a child theme functions.php file and it would turn the sidebar off for a custom post type of “events” as an example:

    add_filter('kadence_display_sidebar', 'kad_sidebar_off_on_events_page');
function kad_sidebar_off_on_events_page($sidebar) {
	global $post;
	if ($post->post_type == "events") {
    return false;
  }
  return $sidebar;
}

    I work hard to make the free theme very versatile and powerful. I am continually updating it and adding to it. I don’t think it’s perfect. But I do want to believe it has value, it’s something I personally want to be proud of. I hope for most it’s worth better then 1 star ??

    I regret your unfortunate experance and hope you have success with your site.
