    Always use 1 column WP themes? Sorry forgot to add you'll always need to tweak some stuff by hand.

      You can tweak them by going to the "Widgets" menu, and removing things from the sidebar options and such. Just remember that when you remove the log in part, the users cannot register. And for you to log in, you have to type (after domain)/wp-admin

      That way you can still log in.

      And then if you want to make it look like a sales page for affiliate marketing, you can buy addons to make it like so. Such as optimizepress.

        Doing some of these design changes depends on your theme. If you want a page that looks like a sales page, you probably need a sales page theme. Some of the one column themes do look like sales pages, but they add the sidebar stuff down at the bottom of the page.

        If you get a premium theme like Flexsqueeze or Thesis, it is a lot simpler but it costs some money to get those themes.

        There might be somebody here on the forum selling a salespage type theme.

        Optimize Press Theme might do this too, but I am not sure about that.

          You can just go into the PHP and delete the <?php get_sidebar(); ?> line from the index file

          to get rid of the comments, you can do something similar in the loop PHP pages. Requires a bit of knowledge but very easy.

            And what would you do with the resulting blank space?

            If you don't have the knowledge it can be very hard.

              Yeah it can be tough.... with the resulting extra space I'd probably expand the content div to about 140% width through CSS then bam, all the space is filled up

    It's very simple to do. Here's my checklist:

    Add a new page called Home (or rename the About page to Home)
    Add a new page called Blog (optional)
    Go to Settings and make the homepage Home, and the blog listing page Blog
    Go to Pages and select all (there's only 2), and uncheck the allow comments/pings.
    Go to Comments, delete Hello World.
    Go to Plugins, delete Hello Dolly.
    Go to Widgets, add a blank Text Widget if sidebar widgetised (this removes category listings etc on some themes e.g. TwentyTen.
    ???
    Profit.


    This is an awesome plugin     that does a load of post-cleanup stuff on new WP installs, highly recommended (no affiliation, just a big fan).

    Hope this helps.

    If you want a sales page hit me up. I have a template I created that should work with any type of theme out there.

    Was going to find some users to use it before I started selling it anyways

    Talk about conveniences? lol

    1. You may use 1 colomn wp themes (its the best solution for someone who does not have elementary knowledge about php and wordpress)
    2. For the second need you may configure a Multi Site on your server
    Here some doc:

    or google, google, google and .... hmmm... again google
