   Hello,

   I'm trying to get rid of the sidebar in my blog page. Why isn't there an no sidebar option for the Default Blog Layout setting?
   How can I use my blog in full width?

   Thanks!

   Hi Remco,

   I'm not sure why there isn't a "no sidebar" option for the Default Blog Layout. I'll have to ask Kriesi. To get the blog in full width though, you can do one of two things.

   Solution 1:
   - Go to Pages > Add New and create a page called Blog
   - On that page under Layout on the side select "Fullsize (no sidebar)" from the menu
   - Go to Choices > Theme Options and select the "Blog" page you just created under And where do you want to display the Blog?

   Solution 2:
   - Go to Choices > Template Builder and create a new template with "no sidebar" selected and the element "Blog" added
   - Go to Pages > Add New and create a page called Blog
   - On that page under Layout on the side select "Blog" (or whatever name you gave the template) from under the Dynamic Templates section of the menu
   - Go to Choices > Theme Options and select the "Blog" page you just created under And where do you want to display the Blog?

   Note: The solution above is good if you want to include other items on your Blog page such as Heading, Slideshow, Callout/Quotes, etc.

   Hope this helps!

   Regards,
   Mya

   Hi Mya,

   Thanks for your help. However I'm getting the same result. Automatically the sidebar is displayed on every blogpage I create with or without the template builder solution. I made sure all the sidebar widgets are inactive etc. So this don't seem to be the solution to this problem.
   Any other options?

   Regards,

   I found out one option to get the blog without sidebar. That is when you assign a blog page at the reading settings page in wordpress. In all other cases I get a sidebar. These doesn't solve my problem. I want a front page that consists of a slideshow, general text and the three latest blog posts.

   Anyone who can help me?

   There is one more thing I didn't mention yet. When I follow Mya's second solution I end up with an empty blog page (or blog part of the dynamic template).

   I sure hope that anyone can help...

   Thanks,
   Remco

   Remco,

   To offer more help I would have to look at your back-end. What I suggested should work. If you want to setup a temporary admin account for me I'll be glad to look at it for you. You can email directly at mya (at) myaleigh dot com. Please include a link to this thread.

   Regards,
   Mya
