It took one second to remove the code enabling the display of the sidebar in the posts. It’s taken me hours, searching for the fix to widen the post column across the space of the disappearing sidebar.
I’ve learned more than intended on WP coding, which is good, really. But, I couldn’t find the fix for the column situation. I’m using the same theme here for my fiction blog, hence, the removal of the sidebar for aesthetics reasons. This theme is a thing of beauty and is perfect for highlighting individual stories without the clutter of the sidebar.
Each search turned up complications in expanding the column width. Apparently, one must modify more than the index and the single post template files. Adding the code – Class=â€widecolumn†to the Content code simply does not do the job.
My important wish list for WordPress is to develop a function to allow choosing which template will have sidebars.
