How To Remove Sidebar From Pages

    Hello all,

    So far I’ve been able to adjust pretty much everything I need in the edegree theme and it’s starting to look exactly like I want it, but I’m having an issue with the sidebar / widgets. Within my layout, there’s a few pages that would look much better without any of the sidebar. I’ve been doing some modifications to header.php, since pretty much everything in edegree is located there, but following the semi-standard directions of…

    <?php if (is_page(‘x’)) : ?>
    <?php else : ?>
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

    …isn’t working properly.

    Anyone have an idea of how to remove the sidebar (or point me in the right direction) just from a few specific pages within the edegree theme?

    you will need to create a page template to use for those pages you don’t want a sidebar on
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates
    basically make a copy of the theme’s page.php using above guide
    remove the call for the sidebar
    save it as whatever.php and upload it to theme folder
    select this page from drop down in add/edit page editor in right sidebar

    Unfortunately that doesn’t work with the eDegree theme because the sidebar call doesn’t appear in the page.php file, but rather is included in the header.php file. I want to do the same thing as the first poster, but haven’t quite figured it out yet. Guessing the new page template will need to also call a custom header file with the sidebar removed? Not sure yet..

    Actually in the eDegree theme, the sidebar call is in footer.php

    Whodathunkit.
