Sigma theme Full Width

[David Nathan]

Hi Stephen,

I have a problem with my current theme, and would like to switch to Sigma.

I need to have Sigma in Full Width mode, so have not added any widgets to the right sidebar. However, there does appear to be a blank right sidebar area on the screen, with this message displayed in it:

You need to drag a widget into your sidebar in the WordPress Admin

Can you help?

Thanks,

David

If this is a page, then you can select the full page template. For archive “pages” (i.e. not page post type) then a sidebar isn’t optional.

You could create a child theme and simply remove the sidebar from those pages.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your response.

I would like my pages to be full width..

I have looked in the Appearance, Settings and the actual page, but not found where I can select the full page template.

It’s probably there, but I just don’t see it…

On the ediy age screen you should be able to change the page template (on the right). One of those templates will be a full-width one.

Perfect, thanks Stephen.

I had to “show” the “Page Attributes” before I had the option “Full-width, no sidebar.

However, selecting “Full-width, no sidebar.” moves

from the right hand sidebar to the bottom of the page!

That’s a bug – an immediate fix is to edit wp-content/themes/Sigma/full-page-width.php and comment out the line:

get_template_part( 'sidebar', 'index' );

Thanks for your prompt fix Stephen.

Will do.
