    I have removed all widgets as i want a single column wordpress blog site. For some reason it has started showing – Meta, Archive and Search – after removing all widgets from the sidebar.

  • Hi Sudhir

    It’s likely that your theme sets a number of ‘default’ widgets to display if you haven’t set any yourself.

    You could use css to hide the sidebar using ‘display:none’.

    Or, a better (but more complex) option would be to create a child theme and create a new template to create a full-page layout.

    Thanks Andrew, I don’t know how to theme but looks like it would be better to use your latter option as using display:none certainly hides the widgets but the widget background persists.

    Ah, I see! Can you provide a link to your site, and I’ll see if I can give you a way to achieve the look you’re after using only css?

    I simply want the singly column with blog posts.

    Thanks Sudhuir

    Here’s the css changes you’ll need to make:

    #content {
        background: #fff;
    }
    #primary {
        width: 100%;
    }
    #secondary {
        display: none;
    }

    Let me know how you go!

    Thanks Andrew,

    That is what I wanted.

    WordPress is the nicest community around.

    Thanks again for your help.

    You’re very welcome! Good luck with the site.
