    Hey guys,

    I’ve been trying to figure out how to remove the sidebar widget area from my site.

    http://sharlawhalen.com

    If you scroll down you can see that the meta area and categories are there. I have no widgets installed, obviously, and would like to remove what’s left.

    Thanks for any help, it will be appreciated.

    best way way is to use a template file with no sidebars some themes do have one but you do not have one then you can create one there are instruction here.

    Regrettably I do not have the coding experience with which to create one.

    Would you advise trying to find wherever the sidebars are in the template’s code, and try removing it like that?

    Click Appearance and editor and right you will see index.php click on it and you will code in editor.

    scroll all way down you will see <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    keep copy of code just in case you need add it back and delete the code and save.

    check if that took the sidebars out.

    You are welcome if you want to add sidebars all you will need to do is that code back.
