I’ve got the same issue as Shipra: how can I just remove one sidebar (secondary aside) from a certain page?

I’m having the same trouble a plenty of other people… I can get rid of the side bar BUT can’t make use of that space. The page I’m working on is called Sandbox so I edited the CSS to read:

body.sandbox #container {
width: 960px;
}

body.sandbox #content {
width: 940px;
}

It’s still not working though. check it out: http://www.allenjcochran.com/sandbox-2/

Any words of wisdom would be hugely appreciated!

Hi,

Thanks, I was looking for this.

Also, I found another way to do this. With this you don’t need to create two .css files, and don’t need the @import code on the .css file neither. Just paste the following code in the functions.php file:

function childtheme_create_stylesheet() { $templatedir = get_bloginfo('template_directory'); $stylesheetdir = get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); if (is_home() || is_front_page()) { ?>

} } add_filter('thematic_create_stylesheet', 'childtheme_create_stylesheet');

Not sure if you’re still around. I’m currently using a child theme I made from Thematic however I can’t really seem to change anything. So far I’ve added a header… All I want now is to have my content centered instead of on the left side, and I’ve tried using this code but it doesnt change anything. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any help is appreciated.

I wanted to be able to have the user be able to define a layout on a per page basis. To do that, I added a custom field that is set in the admin edit page, and the value of this custom field tells what layout should be used,

I copied the thematic style.css file as the main style sheet for my child theme and took out the reference to the style sheet for the layout.

Then I created a function in the functions.php and hooked it into the wp_head action hook. In that function, I get the value of the custom field, and output a reference to the correct layout style sheet from thematic.

Comments on this method?? Any better way to do it? Thanks

I am confused by this thread, because thematic has multiple sidebars on a page. This code does not refer to removing a specific sidebar, so I am confused. I want to remove the primary aside sidebar on some pages, and remove the secondary aside sidebar on other pages. How can I do this? Thanks

Thanks for the instructions; they worked perfectly. Incidentally, you could more-or-less cut my_stylesheet() to half it’s length by omitting the else clause, since all it does it set $content to the same value it already has.

I love T4U, I wish it could be more extensive though.
What else do you think could be visualized and how?
Would you share your plans for its future?

I’m using this but it doesn’t work.

body.projectew #container {

Can anyone help?
