   Hi Guys,

   On some pages I need to completely remove the sidebar and use the entire width for page content.

   What's the best and easiest way to approach this?

   Cheers,

   How you accomplish this really depends on which theme you are using, and your website specifically. Can you provide that information?

   You need to make a Page Template that only has one column. This should be pretty simple to do.

   Make a copy of page.php, and rename it onecolumn.php, then open onecolumn.php in your favorite text editor.

   Add this code to the very top:

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: One Column
   */
   ?>

   Then take this line:

   <div id="content">

   And replace it with:

   <div id="content" style="width:975px; padding-right:0px; border-right:0px;">

   Finally, remove this code from the onecolumn.php file:

   <div id="sidebar">
   <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/l_sidebar.php");?>
   
   <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/r_sidebar.php");?>
   </div>

   Then you just need to upload it to your theme, and choose that template on the pages you want to only have one column.

   What if the theme does not have the code

   <div id="sidebar">
   <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/l_sidebar.php");?>

   <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/r_sidebar.php");?>
   </div>

   in the page template? I am using the "inove" theme.
