Remove sidebar in Twenty Fifteen

#1 · June 12, 2020, 8:50 pm

I have a blog using Twenty Fifteen template. Would like that when I go to the forum, the sidebar on the left (default in Twenty Fifteen) goes away. Any easy way to do this?

Thanks.

Hey @mb-walker,

unfortunately your theme doesn’t support a full with template for pages. To do so you can follow this tutorial:

But keep in mind, that the menu is also in the sidebar so you also have to find a solution for that.

This turned out to be a fairly easy fix.

I simply added the appropriate custom CSS in the Forum/Appearance/Custom CSS box.

But didn’t you also loose your main menu with that CSS?

In my case, I just wanted to show the forum and wasn’t that concerned with the main menu. I did, however, make one change to the links at the top of the forum, adding a link to the main website for those who want to get back there from the forum.

To recap for anyone who’s interested:

Here’s the CSS I added to the Forum/Appearance/Custom CSS box.

body:before,
#sidebar,
#colophon,
.entry-footer {
  display:none;
}

.site-content {
  margin: 0 auto;
  float: none;
  width: 100%;
  max-width: 1200px;
}

And I changed the forum menu by adapting the suggestion given here: https://asgaros.com/docs/administration-guide/tips-tricks-useful-information/header-menu-custom-links/
