# Storefront Theme/WooCommerce Plugin Issue

 * I am looking to find out how to fix an issue with the WooCommerce plugin and 
   Storefront theme.
 * When the WooCommerce plugin is active, you cannot use the page templates to change
   to full-width or homepage. You must deactivate the plugin to access the page 
   templates in the page attributes.
 * However, as soon as you reactivate the plugin, it discards the template you chose
   and reverts to the default template.
 * I find it odd that the plugin the theme is designed to work with, removes page
   template options when activated.
 * I was trying to use the full-width template as I am not interested in having 
   sidebars on my site. While I realize I could make a child theme and remove the
   sidebars in functions.php, I was hoping to avoid doing so as a full-width template
   is built in to the theme.
 * Any ideas short of my having to break down and child-theme Storefront to remove
   the sidebars through code?

 * Hi there,
 * Would you mind sharing a screenshot of what you’re seeing on your side? The reason
   I’m asking is that I’m unable to replicate that on my side with both Storefront
   and WooCommerce active:

 * Ok, here’s what I mean. This is on the live server – as you can see, WooCommerce
   is active and I don’t have the option of changing the page templates on the Storefront
   theme.

 * Hi [@thespookybookshelf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thespookybookshelf/)
 * Thanks for that screenshot. The reason for this is that you have designated this
   particular page as the store’s Shop page (under **WooCommerce → Settings → Product**)
   When you do that, WooCommerce basically controls the look/settings for it, and
   you won’t be able to change the template for it.
 * You should still be able to change it for other pages, though!

 * I don’t want it on the shop page though, that’s the problem. I don’t want it 
   on any page. And it annoys me to no end because I see screenshots of people using
   Storefront without sidebars all the time. I’m assuming they’ve just removed all
   widgets from the sidebar and don’t have business partners who might add widgets
   in and make it show up again.
 * I guess I’ll just ditch my website plans because that sidebar needs to be absolutely
   gone to prevent it from ever being used. (Interesting to note – you cannot unregister
   the sidebars – it doesn’t work at all.)

 * If you only need to remove the sidebars from your pages, then that can be done
   by using some CSS code (if removing all widgets doesn’t help).
 * Do you still have an example of your site online, so I can take a look and provide
   you with the code?
