 * Hello
    I have added left and right sidebars and removed all their widgets. However,
   now on both sides appears: the option to search, and the archive of articles 
   by months. There is no widget in the widget area, how do I leave the sidebars
   blank? Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fside-bars-widgets%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi there,
 * Any reason why you want to use the sidebar without any widgets in it?

 * good question 🙂 I know it sounds a bit silly.
    But the thing is that I want 
   the text of my articles in the middle with empty margin on the sides and I can
   ´t find another way od doing it

 * What if we try this CSS?
 *     ```
       .single .site.grid-container {
           max-width: 800px;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks!
 * My theme is generatepress and I think I can do that in personalize – layout -
   container
    but I only want that for the posts not for the home or rest of the
   pages. Is that possible?

 * My CSS is targetting single posts only with `.single`
 * Have you tried it?

 * Sorry I have “user” knowledge. That Css, do you put it on each single post or
   in the general configuration?
