   I've looked at several sources, read many things but, come away still confused. I have a site I'm trying to modify. I want to create a series of pages within the site that will not have a sidebar and, I'm stumped as to how best to go about it.

   I understand I can use an "exclude" but, since my theme doesn't have a pages.php, don't I also have to create one in order for the layout to have something to render with or to?

   Thank you in advance

   well if you still have your index.php or any available template files inside your theme directory. You can try the following tricks.

   find all
   

   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

   replace with
   

   <?php if (is_page() == false) get_sidebar(); ?>

   Extra css, the below code will make the right content fill up the sidebar space.

   add it inside functions.php

   function custom_page_css()
   { global $wp_query;
   	if ($wp_query->is_page){
   ?>
   	<style type="text/css">
   	/*<![CDATA[*/
   	#content{width:858px}
   	/*]]>*/
   	</style>
   <?php
   	}
   }
   
   add_action('wp_head','custom_page_css');

   Thanks. So, I create pages.php by copying index.php and insert the above code? Or, only replace the code on index.php?

   for clarification: I DO want the sidebar to show where it currently is showing. I want to create a new set of pages where the sidebar will not show.

   u could mod the index.php the code will disabled/exclude the sidebar on "page" sections only.
