Hi All,
Just wondering if someone could advise on how I can remove the sidebar from certain pages.
Say for instance I do not want the sidebar to show up on the Home page and About page.
Is there some way i to tell page.php to check what page the user is on before grabbing the side bar ?
e.g.
<?php
if (!home || !about)
thematic_sidebar();
?>
Thanks in advance

This is some where in the forum. In the interest of time use the following code in the functions.php used by your child theme:
// Begin Filtering Display of Thematic Side-Bar
function remove_sidebar() {
if (is_page(array('home','someotherpage'))) {
return FALSE;
} else {
return TRUE;
}
}
add_filter('thematic_sidebar', 'remove_sidebar');someotherpage can also be specified as a page id number too I believe.
Good luck!
Thats perfect! Thanks Justin!
This works great. But how do you now use the space that the sidebar use to take up?
Ive tried adding this to style.css but it doesnt work.
body.slug-gallery #container {
width: 960px;
}
body.slug-gallery #content {
width: 940px;
}
Hi,
if you would include the CSS snippets as listed above it would work :)
You included:
body.slug-Gallery #container {
width: 960px;
}
body.slug-Gallery #content {
width: 940px;

Hi Chris,
Sadly that snippet doesnt work for me. Ive added it to my child template style.css file. Is this correct?
Cheers

Hi Mike,

Use:
body.slug-gallery #container {
width: 960px;
}
body.slug-gallery #content {
width: 940px;
}Don't use:
body.slug-Gallery #container {
width: 960px;
}
body.slug-Gallery #content {
width: 940px;
}I tried it with Firebug and your blog. The 'G' should be a 'g'.

I swear I tried that. But I must admit I refreshed with a ctrl+shift+refresh, which bypasses system cache. And vola! It worked. Champion. Thanks.
A couple more questions.
1. How do I work out the name of each page? Is it pre-defined somewhere?
2. How do I include other pages in the CSS? Or do I copy the code and just edit "body.slug-gallery" to the respective page name?
Cheers in advance.

Well I do, but that css snippet works if I call "2c-r-fixed" and doesn't work if I call "2c-l-fixed". Didn't dig in to understand why...
Cheers

[edit]
seems to work this way (if 2c-l-fixed is loaded)
body.slug-[your] #container {
float:left;
width: 960px;
margin: 0;
}
body.slug-[your] #content {
margin:0 0 0 10px;
width: 940px;
}
body.slug-[your] .hentry {
width:940px;
}Hi,
that's right. My original post http://www.wupperpiraten.de/2009/03/how-to-remove-the-sidebar-from-a-certain-page/ is only talking about the 2c-r-fixed layout.

Wonderful code, however it does not work on my static "home" (index) page. Is there a workaround?

Can this be done for the search result page?
This does'nt work:
body.slug-search #container {
width: 960px;
}
body.slug-search #content {
width: 940px;
}

bump - This doesn't seem to work for the home page. Is there a trick here I'm missing?
I'd like to change the bg image on the #container that appears on the home page only.
Thanks!

Try:
.home #container {background:red}
