You’ll need to edit the custom contacts page template file, page-contact.php, in order to remove the sidebar.

Create a Child Theme, copy the page-contact.php into your Child Theme, and then comment out or delete the call to <?php get_sidebar; ?>.

And it seems to use style-1.css for both category 10 & 8, and then style-3.css for any other categories. Piece of #£%&!

Do any posts have both category 8 AND category 10?

The is_category() conditional tests to see if the current page is a category archive index page. The in_category() conditional tests to see if the current post has the specified category.

If in_category() is used outside the Loop, then you need to pass the $post object to it.

It’s just different stylesheet links.

Can you describe – in human rather than code terms – what exactly you’re trying to accomplish/implement?

What exactly are you trying to do, and where exactly are you putting your code to implement what you’re trying to do?

The login page returns false on is_admin() because, well, the login page isn’t the admin area. It’s a boundary/gateway between the front end and the back end.

To detect the login page, you can use the $pagenow global, e.g.:

global $pagenow;
if ( 'wp-login.php' == $pagenow ) {
    // current page is the login page;
    // do something
}

So, for your script enqueue callback, simply change:

if ( ! is_admin() )

to:

global $pagenow;
if ( ! is_admin() && 'wp-login.php' != $pagenow )

As Soundcheck is a commercial Theme, you will need to consult the support offerings of the developer, Press75.

Try a lightbox Plugin.

Yeah, you’re going to have problems/unintended consequences if you try to register_post_type( 'page' ), since that is already a core post type.

Be sure to use your own, unique slug for your custom post type. I would stick with 'ompage'.

I’m sorry; I’m not following either of these:

“hierarichal => true” is in the functions.php file

As a part of what function? Without relevant context, it’s impossible to know what’s going on.

& if i switch over to Twenty Eleven Theme I do not see the new section with the pages in I wish to set templates for.

What new section? Are you not using Dashboard -> Pages to edit pages/page attributes?
