 * Hi!
 * I want my single posts to be full wide and the sidebars to disappear to create
   more space. Reading and searching around I thought that the simple solution would
   be to remove the “get sidebar”- call from single.php.
    But there is no mention
   to the sidebar in that file! (I am using Magazine Basic, and my site is [http://www.swed.info](http://www.swed.info)).
   Where does the sidebar call come from and how can I remove it just for single
   posts? Best regards Erico

 * The call to sidebar is in footer.php of the theme.
 * But it is not straightforward removal of “get sidebar” stuff.
 * The call contains some if clauses. To prevent the sidebars from appearing on 
   your single post page you will have to introduce an if is_sidebar condition to
   the code snippets. I tried what follows and it worked for me!
 * >  <?php
   >  if (!is_single()) { if(get_option(‘uwc_sidebar_location’) == “oneright”){
   > get_sidebar(1); } if(get_option(‘uwc_site_sidebars’) == “2” && get_option(‘
   > uwc_sidebar_location’) == “twoseparate”) { include(TEMPLATEPATH.’/sidebar2.
   > php’); } if(get_option(‘uwc_site_sidebars’) == “2” && get_option(‘uwc_sidebar_location’)
   > == “tworight”) { get_sidebar(1); include(TEMPLATEPATH.’/sidebar2.php’); } }?

 * Thank you for your quick help.
    I understand what you mean because removing the
   call in the footer leaves me without sidebar all over the site. I will try your
   script. Thanks! Erico

 * It worked nicely.
    Now I will search de forum to see how I can get the post to
   make use of the empty room left by the sidebars.But that is another issue. Thank
   you for your help! Erico
