How to delete side bar ‘menu & search’

Hi Bert,

This actually isn’t the sidebar; it’s just the main menu and search form at the top of the page. It’s to the side (like everything else) because it’s unstyled.

If you don’t understand even the basics of CSS, you’re going to have a very hard time with BlankSlate. If you’re looking for something very simple, but that at least has some starter CSS for you, I would recommend using my other theme, Generic, instead:

Thanks

For me the theme was working perfect until an update. Since then there is this page menu i cant get rid of. i changed to your other theme but same problem there. now the menu is on the top and horizontally. How to get rid of that?

Hmm, I’m less sure I know what you mean now.

Would you mind uploading a screenshot?

So it looks like your menu is currently just auto-filling. To stop this behavior, go to Appearance > Menus, create a new custom menu and then assign it as the Main Menu.

As i use site origin pagebuiulder i do not need a standard menu. So i deleted all pages from the menu. i hoped to find a really empty theme but i find black boxes above and below the page, the home page automatically gives a link to the wordpress dashboard.

To completely hide the header, use:

#header {
	display: none;
}

I know you’re not familiar with CSS and that’s okay. All you have to do is copy and paste the above to:

Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS

To hide the admin bar, go to:

Users > Profile > Personal Options > Toolbar > Uncheck “Show Toolbar when viewing site”

Thank you so much for your much appreciated help. I try to get rid of the three point in the left corner of the page, they do not seem to have any function but appear on every page. I use the site origin page builder wich works fine with your theme but insert a the site origin video wigdet and selecting autoplay i cannot get my videos to autoplay. is there a general setting that controls this behaviour?

#header {
	display: none;
}

Should hide the mobile menu too. Try:

#header {
	display: none !important;
}

As for your video not auto-playing, most like this is a security/safety/privacy setting in your browser that is blocking videos from auto-playing. You should keep in mind that most browsers are set up this way by default so even if you change your own browser settings, the behavior won’t change for your visitors.
