changing sidebar widgets on one page

    I’m trying to figure out how to change the sidebar on just one page and am having a hard time figuring it out – any help/guidance would be appreciated. I need the sidebar on this page, and this page only: http://innocenceprojectpa.org/donate-2/donate/
    Upper right hand corner, where it says “Other Ways to Give”.

    However, that same box shows up on some of the other pages, but not all of them. For instance, it shows up here: http://innocenceprojectpa.org/resources/, so of course the “other ways to give” is out of context.

    The whole concept of widgets and sidebars is new to me, so I know the answer is probably right at my finger tips, but I could sure use some help in knowing exactly where to look! Thanks!

    First off, see if there is a full-width page template included in your theme. IF not:

    Create a child theme so these changes don’t get lost if you update your theme- unless you don;t plan on updating the theme. In that cse just make the changes to the theme.

    Duplicate the php template that page is using and remove the line that calls the sidebar and change the name of the template at the top of the page.
    <?php get_sidebar( ” ); ?>

    also make the content section full-width by changing this line too <section id=”main” class=”col span_24″>
    save the template with a different name and assign it to the other pages that do not require the sidebar

    I’m not planning on updating the theme, so that should be easy enough.. This is a page I somehow got roped into updating on a continual basis through volunteer work. So the template is set in stone.

    I’ll try the suggested changes and hope that fixes the problem!These things are well above my comfort level, but I’ve been slowly teaching myself as I go along. Thanks for the help!
