On second thought, on the width in #content above, make it 97% to keep the left and right margins on the content balanced.

Hero will show the sidebar on post related pages (blog, categories, archives and tags).

To remove the sidebar from the post related pages would require modifying the CSS. Add the following to your custom CSS. I've widened the content area to recover the area where the sidebar was.

#secondary {
display: none;
}

#content {
width: 100%;
}

How can I remove the sidebar Archives and Meta on my blog?
I put the settings on my pages on Full Width but if I go on one of my posts the sidebar is still there (for example: http://projectbassthumb.com/2013/05/16/lake-barret-51213/)

Thanks for the help!

This will do it, but if the title changes in length (gets longer) things could blow up on you. :)

#content #homepagetop h3 {
width: 620px;
}

That's great thanks so much for that! I'm sure it's an easy one but I'm not sure how to work it out : is there a way to get the feature headline centered with the feature image? Adjusting the padding maybe?
Thanks again that looks much better.

Oh yeah, and then just go to appearance > widgets and add the categories widget to the right sidebar.

Add this to your CSS and see what you think. Since the size of the feature images is set in the theme php script files, we cannot change them, and what I've done below asks the browser to make the images bigger, and browsers are lousy at that and the images lose sharpness and quality. See what you thing though.

.home #sidebar_left {
    display: none;
}

.home .homepagemid {
    width: 620px;
}

.home .homepagethumb, .home .homepagethumb img {
    width: 620px;
    height: auto;
}

Hi there,
I recently switched to the Structure theme and I was wondering if it's possible to get rid of the left sidebar and have the categories with the rest of the widgets in the right sidebar.
Ideally the posts images would align with the featured post down the left side.
Thanks a lot for your help.

The content and sidebar widths are set as percentages of the overall width, but it looks like about 584px is the size you would have to upload. The image in the first post on your site was uploaded at 470px wide.

And finally to this topic, have you got any idea how to find out how many pixels the pictures will have to be now, after extending their space?

You are welcome, and yes that happens when more than one thing gets going in a thread. We've been trying to encourage people to start new threads when they have a different question, but I didn't do that in this case.

I tried once more and it worked! Thank you a lot.

I am sorry! I misunderstod you. When you were writing to the other person I thouhgt you ment to send me another code!
I am totally new to CSS, so I don´t know where to write the code!!! I have tried writing it in the custom design under CSS, but nothing happens! Would you please help me again? Thank you.

@karenkrogsgaard, that is what the code I've given above does for you.

Thank you for responding!
Do you think it is possible to remove the left sidebar and extend the space for the content of my pages (to the left)? Or should I use another theme?

thesacredpath on "how to remove left sidebar oxygen theme"

thesacredpath — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 00:31:15 +0000

The code I gave is to recover the left sidebar area that typically has the menu in it. You will require different code.

@marshmallau, can you please start a new thread on that and I'll watch for it? Dealing with two different issues in the same thread can confuse people coming to it later on. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm trying to remove the right sidebar and recover the space in the Oxygen theme (while keeping the left one). My blog is: http://travelblaug.wordpress.com

I was actually able to do it for my whole blog... except for the main page ; the widget area remains empty but I would like the picture and the articles' summary to expand full-width. Here's an example of what I mean: http://simplemedicine.co/

I'm new to WordPress and CSS editing. Will I recover the space on the right by using the code above and changing "margin-left" for "margin-right" ?

Thank you !

thesacredpath on "how to remove left sidebar oxygen theme"

thesacredpath — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 17:24:33 +0000

Ah, that we can do! Add the following to your custom CSS.

#content {
margin-left: 0;
}

You may have to rework some of your content after doing this so that it aligns properly with the new wider content area.

karenkrogsgaard on "how to remove left sidebar oxygen theme"

karenkrogsgaard — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 17:18:42 +0000

Exactly! I would like to move posts and pages to the left so to speak. And keep the right sidebar.

thesacredpath on "how to remove left sidebar oxygen theme"

thesacredpath — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 17:15:28 +0000

I'm not seeing the left sidebar on http://karensprojekter.wordpress.com/ . Are you wanting to recover that space for your posts and pages?

karenkrogsgaard on "how to remove left sidebar oxygen theme"

karenkrogsgaard — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 17:09:49 +0000

Thank you very much!
But I would like to keep sidebar on the right. If I can`t do that I now know how to have "full width" pages.

thesacredpath — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:48:55 +0000

Oxygen has a full-width page template. Open your pages in the editor and in the "attributes" module select "full width" from the page template pulldown and then update your pages.

To target just the home page, you can use ".home" at the beginning of your selectors.

So, try out this example and make sure to add ".home" and a space before each CSS block.
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/removing-sidebar-entirely?replies=10#post-866741

Note that this won't stretch out the video embed you currently have on your home page. You could try stretching it, but note that it might look pixelated if you do. Also, you'll need to figure out the exact right aspect ratio to fit the new size:

.home .embed-youtube iframe {
	width: ?;
	height: ?;
}

Adjust the "?"s to the proper aspect ratio for a bigger video. If you're not sure, start experimenting to see what works best. The current size is 560 x 345 px.

Hi, I am currently using the Forever theme template for my website. I have figured out how to remove the sidebar from all the pages except the main page. How do I do that?

designsimply on "oxygen theme: how to hide/remove the sidebar when reading a post"

designsimply — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 01:57:42 +0000

I see that you currently have the following CSS to hide one of the sidebars on posts in the Oxygen theme:

.single #content {
	margin-right: 0;
}
.single #tertiary {
	display: none;
}

If you wanted to hide both sidebars for single posts, you could replace the CSS above with this instead:

.single #content {
	margin: 0;
}
.single #secondary,
.single #tertiary {
	display: none
}
