    Hi,

    Taking my first steps with WP and having great fun with it.

    I’m kinda stuck on one issue regarding the use of conditional comments to remove the sidebar.

    I have a 4 page site: Home – Portfolio – About – Blog

    I’d like to just have the sidebar showing on the Blog page. I did a search and found this advice:

    link

    but I’m stuck on how to implement it into my sidebar.php file.

    Please let me know if any more info is needed.

    Appreciate your help.

    Rob

    Not sure if it would help, but here is my sidebar.php file in full:

    [code moderated according to Forum Rules - please use the pastebin]

    if your theme has the template file page.php, and you don’t want a sidebar on any static page, it might be the easiest to remove the get_sidebar(); code from page.php.

    the next challenge is then to stretch the content over the available space; by editing style.css.

    details depend on the theme you are using.

    link to your site?

    Hi alchymyth,

    Afraid I’m only working on it locally at the moment, but here is a link to the theme I am using: Live demo of theme

    Thanks

    @ Mods: Sorry about the code overload.

    i have trouble downloading the theme ??

    does it have a page.php template?

    if so, have you tried my suggestion?

    (keep a clean copy of the theme as a backup in case you need to reverse some changes)

    Hi alchymyth,

    Sorry for the delay, yes just removed get_sidebar(); from page.php and it works ??

    As you say, there is now a slight problem with the sidebar looking a little out of synch, but that should be easily fixed in the CSS.

    I will have a crack at that now. ??
