Removing sidebars from specific pages?

Welcome to programmer world, we'd rather walk a 500 miles over broken glass to 'make something work', rather than a leisurely 500 mile country drive to start from scratch

I am much the opposite, I find it so much easier and quicker to make from scratch rather than trying to figure out how to make wp do it

Wordpress gives me a constant headache.

When it comes to mini-sites I like to build them in php.

Doesn't stop me wasting half my day adapting includes and classes when I should really just start from scratch. Once you've put time in, it seems a waste to bin it, so you keep on slugging

couldn't you have just changes the CSS to suit the given page?

Wordpress assigns each page with it's own class assigned to the <body> tag, giving you the ability to do this in the CSS:

Code:

body.search .sidebar {display:none;}

This is theme specific, though. Not all themes, especially custom ones, will do this.

A solution would have been to add an extra line of CSS inside the <head> on the specific page.

<?php if(is_page('search-results) { ?>
#maincontent { width:1000px; }
<?php } ?>

Install this theme and view the bottom of a page whilst editing it - It has options for lots of options you can dig into the code for and see how it's done.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the continued help!
@ skinner: yep, programming is not my thing so once i'd put it all together and got it working i figured it'd be a waste to chuck it and start again

@ seemly: suppose i could have tried but like i said, the constant tweaking without a changelog started to make everything 'fuzzy'

@ golddiggerguy: cheers for the link, will look into it.
I feel i'm being dragged deeper into php although this wasn't my intention!
thanks again guys!
