    Hi, heres the front page – http://bringingbalance.co.uk/dir/

    I was hoping to have the ‘archive, recent comments and posts’ right hand side bar widgets only appear on the front page. At the moment they are visible on every other page of the site too. Can this be changed?

    Thanks

    The widget side bar also seems to be a little too far left, ive tried out some css code to change this but had no luck.

    Ive temporarily removed widgets whilst i build the rest of the site but if someone is able to help i can add then in again.

    Cheers

    The link you have supplied is not what you have described above. The blog pages in the provided link still have sidebars. Only the static pages do not have sidebars. If you don’t want sidebars on your static pages all you have to do is select the template you want (like full width) in the page options. The blog pages are automatically generated and use the index.php file since a category page has not been specified in the template hierarchy. One way to achieve what you want is to copy the index.php file and remove the code below. Then upload the new file and call it category.php.

    <?php get_sidebar( 'boxes' ); ?>

    According to the template hierarchy the blog pages will default to category.php before index.php. Check out the hierarchy by following this link.

    Hope this helps!

    PS: You will have to use a child theme to do this change. Make sure that you are!
