No sidebar, how to adjust width?

    Hi

    I am building a theme and I want to have the option to turn the sidebar on and off depending on which pages are shown, I want this to be simple so rather than coding it into the theme I am using custom fields. It all works fine but I am stuck with another problem as a result of this. my content section is 650px and the rest is sidebar, but with the sidebar off i am still stuck with 650px of content and i want it to stretch to the whole page. anyone got any ideas?

    Cheers in advance

    PS: website is currently on lockdown so can't show an example so hopefully I explained it clearly enough

    Nevermind, got it sorted, for anyone wondering what I did. I created new styles in the css file for the content and post sections, made them content2 and post2 and made the widths longer, then used php if statements to check if the custom field was present and if so use those divs instead of the normal ones, else use the normal works. worked perfectly
