# Custom Theme issue

 * Our site is using Generatepress theme. We find that we prefer the ‘default’ Generatepress
   template but want it without the sidebar showing on the event page. Normally,
   Generatepress gives this option to disable on individual pages. However, because
   The Event Calendar isn’t using any shortcode pasted on the page, but accessing
   the theme directly, we can’t see a way to do this.
 * Is there a way to make this work to disable the sidebar for just that page? Maybe
   some way to have it access a CUSTOM PHP file from Generatepress that isn’t in
   the options list?
 * I have reviewed this: [https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/template-customization-example/](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/template-customization-example/)
   
   But found nothing in there that points me to disabling the sidebar while looking
   like the default theme.

 * Hi [@starhorsepax2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/starhorsepax2/) ,
 * Thanks for reaching out!
 * Can you try changing the “Events template” setting under Events > Settings > 
   Display? Does it make any difference?
 * Best regards,
    Marta

 * We ended up buying the Pro so we could use the shortcode instead (although if
   we try and reset the permalink to /events/ it just reverts to the other.
 * Now we are having trouble with the title length overflowing into neighboring 
   box. I looked for a way to adjust that but see no settings at all. All the suggestions
   to add functions to limit it are out of date for the issue of the updated new
   style. Isn’t there SOME way to do it? It’s a mess if you have a lot of events.
