Theme layout issue on plugin

Im using a child theme of the theme ‘DevDmBootstrap3’ thats using bootstrap to control the main area as well as sidebars.

Furthermore I have made a filter function to use the parents theme hook that controls the 12 colums available based on the sidebar settings.

My function looks like this:
```
function jh_deregister_sidebar_per_page() {
    //gets the parent theme variable array that stores view areas
    //such as main, right_sidebar, left_sidebar
    global $dm_settings;

    $columns = '12';

    //checks if current page is Kalender, if so set right sidebar to 0
    if (is_page('Kalender') ) {
        $dm_settings['right_sidebar'] = 0;
    }

    if ($dm_settings['right_sidebar'] != 0) {
        $columns = $columns - $dm_settings['right_sidebar_width'];
    }

    if ($dm_settings['left_sidebar'] != 0) {
        $columns = $columns - $dm_settings['left_sidebar_width'];
    }

    return $columns;
}

add_filter( 'devdmbootstrap3_main_content_width_hook', 'jh_deregister_sidebar_per_page' );
```
Notice the if(is_page(‘Kalender’), which does the magic I need, I want to display the output of your plugin on my Kalender page. I am able to disable my sidebar on my ‘Kalender’ page with my code just fine, except when I activate the calendar plugin and set it up to output its view on that page. Then my main area is changed from col-md-12 to col-md-9 and a useless sidebar that I don’t want on this page re-appears with a col-md-3.

So how can I view the calendar output of your plugin in a main col-md-12 div wrapper without having that annoying sidebar (I can’t globally disable it because I need it on other pages).

The problem can be seen on http://www.jh-dev.dk/MIL/kalender , the sidebar I don’t want has the H3 ‘Relaterede sider’ in a div class=”col-md-3″ wrapper.

I should add that I made a page template for my calendar page titled ‘Kalendar’. It goes like this:
```
<?php
/*
Template Name: Kalender
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_template_part('template-part', 'head'); ?>
<?php get_template_part('template-part', 'topnav'); ?>


<div class="row dmbs-content">

    <div class="col-md-<?php devdmbootstrap3_main_content_width(); ?> dmbs-main">

    </div>

    <?php //get the right sidebar ?>

</div>


<?php get_footer(); ?>
```
And I have tried to change the “col-md-<?php devdmbootstrap3_main_content_width(); ?> to col-md-12 and its not helping. The result is the same. I get both a main col-md-9 wrapper as well as a col-md-3 sidebar wrapper (when I set my calendar to output its view on this page that is).

Thanks for informing me about your post. Very thoughtful 🙂 Let’s see if someone can help us, with our layout problems. Here is mine again: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/month-view-shows-disturbing-design-elements-of-theme?replies=1

I found a hacky temporary fix that isn’t disabling the sidebar as I wanted but rather hiding it and upscaling the main wrapper to use 100% width.

With this LESS code:
```
body {
  	&.tribe-theme-child-devdmbootstrap3-child-mil{
  		.dmbs-main{
  			width: 100%;
  		}
  		.dmbs-right{
  			display: none;
  		}
  	}
}
```
So if anyone finds a solution to have my sidebar remain disabled on this calendar page, even after the calendar plugin is activated, I would still be interested in hearing how this would be done.

Howdy jh5512,

You could create a standard WP “Page Template” and then not show the sidebar in that template. You might already even have on created. Have you viewed the various template in WP-Admin > Events > Settings > Display? Does oine of those looks as you want, without a sidebar?

Cheers!
