    Hi Guys,
    hope someone can answer this for me.

    I have a theme that I want to use called Manifest.
    For the particular site I am building I do not need any widgets and want to extend the text right across into the widget sidebar area.

    Is this possible to do this?

    If it is can anyone tell me how, what and where to change the code please.

    If I cannot do this for some reason can you suggest a plain full width theme, something like the Titan them but without widgets or sidebars.

    I am thinking something like a Joomla theme.

    I cannot code so am looking for something I can use without much effort.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance
    Best regards
    Graham

    most theme use a <?php get_sidebar(); ?> call to include the sidebar – remove this from all template files.

    then adapt the css styles to stretch the remaining column to the full width of the template.

    if you need more detailed suggestions, please post a link to your site with the theme activated – and possibly all sidebar code removed.

    Hi again,
    I thought I would return and post a conclusion to this in case it will help anyone else.
    First this was the TWEAKER theme not manifest as I said on the first post.
    nothing like getting the your information right before you make a post 🙂

    Here’s what I did
    1. REmoved the code line <?php get_sidebar(); ?> from page.php template

    2. Removed all code from sidebar php

    3 in stylesheet.css at the beginning of the file under the structure heading , I entered container width 980px
    and content width 980 px

    It seems to work perfectly and aligns the text the full width of the header. just what I wanted.

    I will mention if you do not change container width a scroll bar will appear at the bottom of the screen.
    I found this out by accident, it’s a good job I know WTF I am doing 🙂

    thats all folks.
