Hello @vishnudash

Those are widgets area !
If you really want to remove them, first use a child theme for your own customization or a custom CSS plugin.

Try this :

#sitewide-top-widget-area, #page-top-widget-area {
    display: none;
}

You are most welcome @alago71

Happy coding 😉

Hello @soriamoriamax

I ADVISE YOU NOT TO MAKE DIRECT CHANGES TO YOUR MAIN THEME FILES !
If you do, all your customization will disapear on the next update of your main theme !
Take a look on how to create a Child Theme
If you found it difficult, use Child Theme Configurator
If you want to only play with CSS, install a custom CSS plugin.

As for your question above, just right click on the section/element you want to have information about and click on Inspect Element (Firefox) or Inspect (Chrome) or Inspect element (IE) …

Hello @alago71

First, I don’t know how you did configure your child theme.
My advise is to remove your actual child theme, install Child Theme Configurator and create a fresh child theme of 2016.
Then, create directly in the root of your child theme fullwidth.php and paste the following in it.

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: FullWidth
 */

get_header(); ?>

<div id="primary" class="content-area" style="width:100%">
	<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
		<?php
		// Start the loop.
		while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

			// Include the page content template.
			get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'page' );

			// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template.
			if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) {
				comments_template();
			}

			// End of the loop.
		endwhile;
		?>

	</main><!-- .site-main -->

	<?php get_sidebar( 'content-bottom' ); ?>

</div><!-- .content-area -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

As you can see, I’ve deleted <?php get_sidebar(); ?> and added style=”width:100%” insisde the #primary div of this template.

Hello @skilgore

First of all, when you want to customize a theme, always create a child theme.
If you don’t and modify the main theme that you are using, then all your customization will be lost on the next update of the main theme.

To add a widgets area :
1- In the functions.php file of the theme put the following :

/**
 * Register our sidebars and widgetized areas.
 *
 */
function arphabet_widgets_init() {

	register_sidebar( array(
		'name'          => 'Home right sidebar',
		'id'            => 'home_right_1', 
		'before_widget' => '<div>',
		'after_widget'  => '</div>',
		'before_title'  => '<h2 class="rounded">',
		'after_title'   => '</h2>',
	) );

}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'arphabet_widgets_init' ); 

This will tell WP that you have a new widgets area named Home right sidebar that have an id of home_right_1

Than, in your sidebar.php add :

<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home_right_1' ) ) : ?>
	<div id="primary-sidebar" class="primary-sidebar widget-area" role="complementary">
		<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'home_right_1' ); ?>
	</div><!-- #primary-sidebar -->
<?php endif; ?>  

This will tell WP, show my widgets area that I’ve created earlier with an id of home_right_1 if their is widgets in it.

Then, you have to choose the location where you want to display this widgets area.
For example, you wish to add it to all of your pages, depending the theme you are using (since you are not telling wish one… and not giving a link to your website), you’ll have to search wish template is used to display pages if page.php is linking to another file.
Assuming that it’s page.php, you can add the following exactly where you wish to display the widgets area :
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'home_right_1' ); ?>

Of course, you’ll have to style it as you need.
