 * I just switched to this theme and like it so far – very clean looking. Thanks.
   And of course, I will donate if I find that the theme is suitable. Site is [http://www.AnythingGoesGourmet.com](http://www.AnythingGoesGourmet.com)
 * I am rather new at this, so simplicity would be wonderful.
 * 1. In the right narrow sidebar, there are two widgets: Meta and Archives. I would
   like to remove them both (but be able to add the archives back later). I’ve tried
   to do this in the Widget area of the dashboard, but I wasn’t able to figure it
   out. Ideas?
 * 2. Is there a template for a page and/or post with no border at all? I will need
   this for ecommerce pages.
 * 3. Is there an easy way to limit the number of posts that show up before the “
   older posts” notification?

 * Hello jkgourmet,
 * I am happy to help you with your questions:

 * **Solution:** To add / remove widgets, you must visit the widget area of your
   admin. To access, look beneath Appearance in your left sidebar and click “Widgets”.
   On this page you will see the available widgetized areas. If you notice that 
   the Meta and Archives widgets are not applied to any widgetized area, you will
   need to view the sidebar.php file and remove the code manually. Look for:
 *     ```
       <div id="narrow-right">
       	<ul>
       		<li class="widget">
       			<h2 class="widgettitle">Meta</h2>
   
       			<ul>
       ```
   
 * > **Question:** 2. Is there a template for a page and/or post with no border 
   > at all? I will need this for ecommerce pages.
 * **Solution:** You can only apply a custom template to “pages” not “posts”. Custom
   templates are created in the theme files and applied by using the “Template” 
   option located on the right side of the Page Editor, under the “Attributes” section.
   Please note: _If there is no custom templates available, this option will not
   appear_
 * > **Question:** 3. Is there an easy way to limit the number of posts that show
   > up before the “older posts” notification?
 * **Solution:** Sure, look beneath the “Settings” section in your admin sidebar
   and click “Reading” you will see: _Blog pages show at most_ which is probably
   set at 10posts – adjust this to the number you prefer…
 * I hope I have been able to assist,
    Warm Regards, wp-coders.com

 * Thank you for the quick and complete response! Regarding question #2, it should
   have read

   > pages.
 * This theme does not show a page with no sidebar template. I assume that they 
   wonderful guy who does WP fixes for me can add one?

 * Hello fellow WP peeps. I have a website, [http://www.jbdaigle.com](http://www.jbdaigle.com),
   that I’m using to help me find a job. The sidebar content I have on my home page
   is way too much to fit in a few of my other pages/tabs. When the page content
   ends, the sidebar content just kind of stops being in a sidebar and goes underneath
   the page content. see here: [http://jbdaigle.com/job-requirements/](http://jbdaigle.com/job-requirements/)
 * My question is, how do you make sidebar content page-specific, so that I can 
   put less side bar content on short pages like the one above?
 * I tried using a couple of plugins to do this, but didn’t have any luck because
   the instructions, I think, assumed much more experience with we design than I
   have–this is my first site.
 * If you could help me out, that would be awesome!

 * Hello,
 * [@jbdaigle6](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbdaigle6/): Please start new
   topics for new questions. Posting non related question on the middle of a discussion
   disrupts the discussions and you will get no answer.
 * [@jkgourmet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jkgourmet/):
 * Will try to answer to your questions:
 * 1. The widgets shown on the sidebars only shows if you have not yet set anything
   on the widget area. Setting a widget on the sidebar, will automatically remove
   the defaults. To have the archives go back to any sidebar, there is a provided
   WP widget you can set anywhere you want. I recommend not to hack the code as 
   this makes upgrading so difficult.
 * 2. If you mean a template with no sidebar, It will make it available in the next
   theme version this week. (Wait for Chameleon 2.2)
 * 3. Already answered.

 * Answer to number 2 (Have a template for pages with no sidebar): This is available
   from Chameleon 2.2 released yesterday night.
