   I cannot get a full page, no sidebar view for my blog. I have tried a standard page with the overwrite default layout set to full preview image, no sidebar. I have also tried a dynamic page with the themebuilder and selected fullsize, no sidebar as the template. In both cases I get a sidebar on the right with widgets for pages, categories and archives. I have used appearance/widgets and removed all widgets from all pages.
   On the abundance/theme options/layout menu I do not get an option for no sidebar in the default blog layout dropdown. It seems the pages, cats and archives widgets are defaults. If I select some widget for the sidebar it appears and they do not but I cannot get a view with no sidebar at all. The standard page is blog, the themebuilder page is news. whitemangrove.com/dance Thanks

   I was able to find a partial solution. I modified the includes/register-admin-options.php file (line 496) to include 'Fullsize preview image, no sidebar'=>'fullwidth', in the array. That seems to have eliminated the default sidebar widgets from appearing. It has not eliminated the sidebar column and given me a fullsize area for the post. I am still hoping you can suggest a proper solution.
   Thanks

   Hey!

   open the template-blog.php file and remove the get_sidebar() call in line 44. then add this to your custom.css stylesheet in folder /css/ or to the quick-css panel located in your wordpress backend at abundance->styling:

   .template-blog.content {
   width: 100% !important;
   padding-right: 0 !important;
   }
   
   #top .template-blog .entry-content {
   width: 770px;
   }
   

   last but not least open functions.php and at the top search for the following line:

   $avia_config['imgSize']['page'] 		= array('width'=>690, 'height'=>200);		// image for pages and one column portfolio
   

   and change it to

   $avia_config['imgSize']['page'] 		= array('width'=>930, 'height'=>200);		// image for pages and one column portfolio
   

   this will modify the size of the preview images to stretch accross fullwidth

   Hi,

   Thanks. This has made the blog page look just as I wanted.
   It has left me 2 new problems.

   1) When I create a custom blog page in theme builder with full width option, a sidebar appears as a page 2 (news page - whitemangrove.com/dance )

   2) I can no longer create a custom blog page with a sidebar (the content area blows out). How do I make the size conditional on the template option selected?

   1) Open up loop/helper-template.php and replace following code:
   

   //if we got a fullwidth template set a temporary sidebar
   			wp_reset_query();
   			$avia_config['currently_viewing'] = "blog";
   
   			get_sidebar();

   with:
   

   //if we got a fullwidth template set a temporary sidebar
   			wp_reset_query();
   			$avia_config['currently_viewing'] = "blog";

   2) That's not easily possible because this would require a new option for a different sidebar layout, etc.
