   Hey!

   I'm using the famous Compositio theme and I cannot seem to hide the sidebar.php (in any easy, known way) from my brand new forums:

   http://steamunpowered.eu/forums/

   Could anyone give me a hint? I have created a page template but this theme is forcing the damn sidebar every time the page loads. I can move it around by removing some stuff from the page code but I cannot hide it on this particular page.

   if you leave out the sidebar call it will work

   With this theme default page.php looks like this:
   

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
    <div class="p-head">
     <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
    </div>
   <div class="p-con">
   <?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;</p>'); ?>
   </div>
   <?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
   </div>
   
   <?php if ( comments_open() ) comments_template(); ?>
   <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
   <?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<p class="edit">', '</p>'); ?>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   And making a new page template like for example "Forum" (forum.php) doesn't seem to work, if I remove any part (well almost) of the page.php code the site is just blank and nothing loads.

   ;/
   And as you see the "get_sidebar" isn't even there.
