    Romel Apuya says:

    in your template css add
    
    

    #sidebar2,#sidebar3,#sidebar3{
    
      display:none;
    
    }

    Romel Apuya says:

    Charlotte Raboff says:

    Thanks.. I have added the code now to the ccs but it didn´t really work, look at the website now, one sidebar is still there (categories) and below is a grey line from another...

  • 07/16/11 11:39am
    
    Romel Apuya says:

    the categories with blue text or grey text?

  • 07/16/11 11:58am
    
    Romel Apuya says:

    add to the bottom of your css
    
    

    #sidebars b .side{
    
    	display:none;
    
    }

  • 07/16/11 12:01pm
    
    Romel Apuya says:

    ok revise it to
    
    

    #sidebars b .side{
    
    	display:none !important;
    
    }

  Go to Dashboard/Appearance/widgets and remove what you want from the sidebar (click then delete.

  • 07/16/11 11:30am
    
    moviezman says:

    Go to Dashboard/Appearance/Edit then edit index.php
    
    
    Remove
    <?php get_sidebar2(); ?>
    <?php get_sidebar3(); ?>
    
    or
    
    <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar2.php'); ?>
    
    <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar3.php'); ?>
    
    if you find them ...
    Before deleting Make a copy of index.php by security

    Charlotte Raboff says:

    Hi, yes that worked!
    
    the <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar2.php'); ?>
    
    But there are still grey lines left, maybe that is another question...:)

  • 07/16/11 11:49am
    
    moviezman says:

    For the Grey buttons, it is in CSS:
    You have the choice, remove this :
    1- Remove in the index.php -- <div class="side_bottom"></div>
    
    2-Or remove in CSS this line in bottom if you don't need
    .side_bottom {
    background: url("images/sidebottom.gif") no-repeat scroll left bottom transparent;
    height: 8px;
    width: 230px;
    }

    Charlotte Raboff says:

    thanks....it worked for two of them but there is on left and I can´t find the code for that one...

  Luke America says:

  Method #1:
  Without actually modifying your sidebar source code, in sidebars.php for example, here's a CSS trick that should make them disappear.
  
  At the bottom of your style.css file, add the following:
  
  #sidebar1 {display:none;}
  #sidebar2 {display:none;}
  #sidebar3 {display:none;}
  
  
  OR
  
  Method #2:
  
  Open your theme's functions.php file, and make the following change:
  
  register_sidebars(4);
  to
  register_sidebars(1);
  
  
  OR
  
  Method #3
  The best method is to comment out the sidebar code in your theme files (put two backslashes before the code, it, //). But, these particular filenames vary from theme to theme ... examples are sidebars.php, sidebar.php, etc. Also, some themes implement these sidebars one by one in the other files, such as, page.php, single, php, index.php.
  
  
  Also, some themes will simply let you delete the content from the Dashboard. But, your theme appears to be using default content. So ... you can not remove it that way.
