i am currently using the coraline theme and i would like to remove the sidebar and make my main content column full width. all the descriptions of coraline say that there iit “has an optional full-width page template that removes the sidebar” but i can’t seem to make this happen!

if anyone has any tips i’d really appreciate it!

thanks

I see 5 layout options and all have a sidebar. Have you tried removing the widgets from the sidebar?

Coraline has the “no-sidebar” page template for static pages, but it does not have a no-sidebar setting for the blog related pages.

To remove the sidebar on the blog related pages would require CSS editing experience and the CSS upgrade.

The theme description for Coraline and the listing at http://themes.wordpress.com is confusing because it says it is, or can be, a “one column” theme and that isn’t entirely true. The dynamic post related pages cannot be “one column”.

Understood. I wasted time trying to figure out what the heck that confusing theme description meant.

Yeah, they need to get that straightened out since Coraline, zBench and Spring Loaded all come up if you filter as “one column” but they are not. They have no-sidebar static page templates, but the post related pages cannot have the sidebar turned off.

Hello,

I wonder about the same thing.
If you look at my blog you can see that it is as narrow as most others’… but I then googled for other blogs using the same them and came across this one here: http://jdubb1983.wordpress.com/ … it uses Coraline as well but the layout is wider… I wonder how he did it. Does anyone know?

If under theme options if you set Coraline for sidebar-content-sidebar (3-column) its width is 990px. If you set it for 2-column (single sidebar), the width is 770px, if you set it for 3-column (two sidebars left or two right) the width is 990px.

Content-sidebar or sidebar content: 770px wide
Content-sidebar-sidebar or sidebar-sidebar-content: 990px wide
Sidebar-content-sidebar: 990px wide

I had just worked this out for myself in the meantime and was just coming back to report… You’re very quick! It works indeed! Thank you! :-)
