Yes. Go to Appearance > Widgets.
You will see the Sidebar and a set of smaller “boxes” inside the sidebar.
Click on the one you want to remove and there will be a “Delete” link.
…oops, didn’t see your post, Michael
1st option: Go to theme option and select page layout as wide layout.
2nd option: add new page > select layout as wide layout from sidebar.
Thanks, guys. It must be a weird theme issue. I’ve tried both suggestions and neither worked for some reason (both made logical sense).
I’ll go try to hit up the other thread, unless you have a third idea?
