Quick wordpress question...

by Kim Standerline

I'm trying to make a wordpress site look more like a sales page. (Using flexitheme) 100dietandexercisetips.com

I can't get rid of those last 2 links on the right (Catagories and archives) and it's really bugging me.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be eternally grateful

Thanks
Kim

    just place a blank text in the widgets area... that should do it.

    Try putting an empty Text widget in the sidebar

    You'll need to select a template page that does not display the sidebar.

    Also, you'll possibly have an additional issue that the right column will not fill out.

    You may need to have a modified php page created, that displays without sidebar.

    You upload this to your host into the proper templates folder so it can get selected when you actually post.

    I had this done recently. I bought a theme from theme forest and the designer made me the page I needed for free.

    remove the sidebar completely by finding this line in your template home.php or if that does not exsists your index.php

    get_sidebar();

    place // in front of it

    next in your style sheet (style.css) change line 526 which says
    .postwrap {
    float:left;
    margin-bottom:5px;
    padding:0;
    width:560px;
    }

    into this

    .postwrap {
    float:left;
    margin-bottom:5px;
    padding:0;
    width:780px;
    }

    that will make it fill the page

    ^^ do this ONLY if you will never have any Pages/posts that will use the sidebar.

    If you have a view with sidebar - then the above advice is not so good...
