    Hi there Kadence, hope you´re all well.

    Firstly I´m on WP 4.0 and Virtue 2.2.5.

    I´m having a styling problem with my page layout which contains the title and post excerpts from blog entries.

    The page is http://www.family-friendly-holiday-villas.com/useful-travel-articles/ which are all blog entries.

    The page has an unwanted RH sidebar, and the blog post titles and entries are condensed into the left hand third of the page and are not showing thumbnails from the blog entries, which I want to show.

    The page setting is set to fullwidth.

    I want the blog entries to be full width (No RH sidebar) and to display a relevant thumbnail/featured image.

    Any ideas, por favor?

    Thanks.

    Hey,
    1. In the settings > reading. Make sure you have not selected that page to be your latest post page.

    2. In the page settings make sure you have selected the blog page template.

    3. Save the page and you will see the option to “Display Sidebar?” select no.

    4. In regards to your images. Have you assigned an image to be the featured image in the post settings?

    Hi there, thanks for the reply.

    I tried point 1, and all my blog post titles and post excerpts disappeared from the page, so I put it back.

    Point 2, selected blog instead of fullwidth, and the display sidebar option appeared along with Blog Category, How Many Posts, Display Content and Choose Sidebar. Thanks

    Point 3, Selected “No Sidebar”, nothing happened, still have a blank sidebar on page. However, it does say below it “Choose if layout is fullwidth or sidebar”. As it didn´t work on Blog Template I tried it on these 2 options but no joy either.

    I reverted back to “Blog” template and the options re’appeared

    However, the Choose Sidebar option remains with “primary sidebar”. In the dropdown there is no option for blank, just this one default sidebar option. As there is no content in the sidebar widget I am presuming this is what I was seeing.

    I placed a social sharing widget in the previously blank sidebar widget and it appeared straightaway, which is what I don´t want. I want the blog summary to be full width.

    Funnily enough, placing a featured image solved the last problem. Thanks for subtly reminding me of my obvious omission, lol. How do I resize it to something more acceptable, say 120 x 90?

    Thanks again for the help so far.

    Point 1. would of course remove the posts until you set the page template to blog… I still recommend you follow the instructions and do each one in order. I didn’t lead you astray and if you had done the first then your blog page would be full width.
