Full width side bar

  • Hi,

    I am using a theme called yestilo that I am working on personalising.

    It has 2 features built into the sidebar that I cant remove or switch off. A video and then adverts underneath that. Below those the sidebar splits into 2 where I have the functionality to add widgets through the control panel.

    How DO I either remove the video placement or even better make it so that it can be switched on and off if it is simple enough to do?

    I also want to remove the built in ads and turn the area into a full width side bar where I can add widgets which would mean I had a full width side bar and then a left and right sidebar below.

    I am new to wordpress so will no doubt need this breaking down for me.

    All help very much appreciated.

    Regards

    Paul

  • Hey Paul,

    I don’t know what the theme looks like but I’ll take a stab at it. The template makers probably hard coded those information into function.php. Take a look there and see if you can make sense of the code.

    I wrote a tutorial similar to what you want to do. Check it out and contact me via Twitter if you need hand with your current theme.

    I should really have put a link to the site

    https://www.crosfieldsarlfc.co.uk

    in your index.php of the theme remove the following and those fields will no longer be there.

    <div class=”videopost”> </div>
    <div class=”clear”> </div>
    <div class=”banner”></div>

    hope that helps

    Sorted, Your’e article was superb.

    I have commented out the video code and the theme ad code and that seems to have done the trick.

    Ah something has gone wrong, cant view the site or get into the admin panel.

    Hellllp

    Did you erase anything in the function that your template relied on? Take the original template and replace the function.php that should fix your problem. If you are following my tutorial with this template, just add on to the function.php don’t erase everything.

    I haven’t deleted anything!!

    I have managed to get the site back online by deleting the theme logging in and activating a different theme and then re-uploading the original theme and activating it which is a good start.

    However I am getting these headers already sent messages everytime I try and do something in the back end.

    Always the same message about headers but refering to different lines on different .php files.

    I really am not clued up enough to fix this.

    The only files I changed to try and sort my side bar issue where functions.php and sidebar.php

    Thanks
