I just installed the mingle forum plugin to my blog, i created a page and place the coding there for the forum to show however all of the page templates that come with the theme, when selected shows the side bar. Thus my forum cannot expand to its full width, instead it takes up half of the page's width while the other half is taken up by the sidebare.

All the templates for my wordpress theme are like this.

So i manually removed the sidebar coding from the " popular page template".
Now i am getting the full with of the page however when i use that template for my blog page"forum" i see noting, the page is blank, no forum images nor outlined structure.

With that problem i am now thinking about adding the code that i got from my plugin manually to the "popular page template"

which is= [mingleforum]

The problem is that i don't know how create a php coding that will work..

Hope you understand the problem that i am having here.

Below is what the current code of my "popular page template".

Can anyone help me to place the forum cod e in there or is there any other way to do this.
