   So I am using the theme OceanBeach (http://www.skinpress.com/ocean-beach/) and im trying to remove the sidebar from just one of my pages. I have put the following code into my header that points to a new stylesheet but I cant seem to actually get rid of the sidebar. What am I forgetting?

   <?php if ( is_page(array('3','103','471')) ) { ?>
   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/no_sidebar_style.css" />
   <?php } else { ?>
   <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
   <?php } ?>

   I removed all items in the new stylesheet that pertains to the sidebar, but cant seem to get rid of it. Here is a before and after the changes I made to the code:

   <img src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee187/codeblue2k/WordpressImage2-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">

   <img src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee187/codeblue2k/WordpressImage-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">

   Is there some other place that the actual sidebar is called? I did this on another website and all that I remember doing was what I did above. Please help :) thanks!!

   are you sure you don't have one of those set up as a widget?
   admin - appearance - widgets

   Here is what the new style sheet looks like. About half way down you can see where the code was for the side bar, between /* sidebar*/ and /* end sidebar*/

   `
   /*
   Theme Name: OceanBech
   Theme URI: http://www.askgraphics.com/
   Description: Widget ready theme with two sidebars.
   Version: 1.0
   Author: AskGraphics.com
   Author URI: http://www.askgraphics.com/

   [huge chunk of code moderated - please use a pastebin]

   no - you have 2 meta's in the sidebar
   I think your problem may be you are trying to use widgets and edit code - you may be outwitting yourself.
   you can do both but must do it in the correct locations
   just look at your widgets - if that's not it we can move on

   I looked in admin - appearance - widgets as you suggested and I no longer have any widgets assigned to any of the sidebars. Issue still seems to be sticking around.

   I also looked thru the rest of the files in me theme and still cant seem to find where the sidebar is being loaded.

    I figured it out!!

    Instead of just deleting the sidebar section from my new CSS I replaced it with

    #sidebar { display:none;}

    Worked like a charm
