    Well – A twist. It turns out that this off the shelf template that I was working with was actually custom….And not done that well…There for numerous reasons many of the recommendations I’ve been given here didn’t apply. It was all pretty sloppy.

    Knowing this, I was able to actually create the new template without the sidebar and get it to work.

    Nothing was where it was supposed to be and as such I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why typical functions were just not there.

    Thanks all!

    OK – Ive found the get_sidebar in theMain Index Template

    So to remove the sidebar from the one page and make the area 775 wide is the goal now.

    Are you able to view it here?

    http://bilkeyadhd.com/test/main_index_template.txt

    I would make this modification and replace the existing file? Or doess it reference another?

    I have this one page called “orders” published but currently private. while I work on it..One thing really confusing me is how it affects only that page.

    Is this the theme that I just exported?

    There is no index.php

    I looked at page.php, single.php and style.css and see nothing looking like <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    These are all the templates that I have listed there:

    Here are the pages that you suggested I look at.

    I’m sure I’m missing something simple

    That’s something that I found odd. This is the theme. It is named “theme1069” “author – Unknown”

    Also it does indeed have an option for 1 or 2 columns, but not 0

    I found the css page but I’m thinking this is beyond me. Funny – I would have thought this would be a simpler thing to do…

    I guess the way to put it is that I “sort of” understand.

    I understand the concept of the template but I’m not exactly clear on where. I see the instructions on the link however the “edit” option is not there in the page menu.

    The page is currently published as “private”.

    By creating this template called “sidebar” (or whatever) do you mean to create a page? I see not options to create a “template”.

    I’ve played with css a bit in CMSMS but in WP I don’t know where to find it or moreover how to find that which relates to any specific page.

    I don’t know what my theme calls the content area either? not sure where to find that.

    I’m using theme 1069

    I really appreciate the assistance.
