Remove Two Column From Single Post

I want to remove sidebar from single posts. I deleted the get_sidebar but the template hierarchy is still laying out the page as two columns… thus giving an empty sidebar container. I have twentyseventeen child theme, with sidebar enabled. (Wanted sidebar on main blog page, author, categories, etc.).

My research told me to create a single-post.php (copied from single.php in the parent) and delete the get sidebar call. Then add CSS to my child theme style.css like so:

@media screen and (min-width: 56.875em) {
	.single-post .content-area
	{
	  float: left;
	  margin-right: -100%;
	  width: 100%;
	}
}

But it isn’t working. Here’s a post sample: https://techpoet.net/wordpress-4-7-released/ but note that I’m continuing to work on this problem…

By the way, it looks like this line (parent css) is being invoked

.has-sidebar:not(.error404) #primary {
		float: left;
		width: 58%;
	}

I assume now that I need to add a class to css and to the template…
