# Create a REMOVE SIDEBAR method … PLease

 * My site has 100+ pages and growing. Last week, during a plugin update, something
   crashed. After a week, I am getting it back, but the Theme will now no longer
   load. The Theme (Phlox) had a setting to turn off sidebars. Now, No theme that
   I load picks up settings and the sidebar is there, on every page.
 * What a pain in the behind. It seems that many people have problems with sidebar
   issues. Sure, I found fixes, but change themes and what do you get. Or reload
   the theme and lose the changes you made. Even if some Theme creator makes a way
   of doing it, it does not carry over.
 * This is BASIC TO WP. It SHOULD be built into the framework so that it is Theme
   independent. If not, we need a good PLUGIN. I saw one plugin that can create 
   multiple side bars and then have those replace the default on assigned pages.
   But, it didn’t allow you to remove the original.
 * Of course, that is coming from someone who knows nothing about WP Coding.
 * So, for now, how about a good plugin?
 * I’m pretty new to WP, so you veterans can come up with a good list of desired
   features. For me, on this specific site, I would like to turn off side bars EASILY
   on all but one page, not the home page and have the remaining content width adjust
   properly.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcreate-a-remove-sidebar-method-please%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Thanks for replying
 * I have not tried this yet, so I don’t know if it fixes the width issue as well.
   
   I’m still swapping between different themes trying to find something I like, 
   or waiting for Phlox to get working.
 * So, its sort of like I said. I want to see a theme independent way of doing it.
   Oh well, we all want something. I would think that plugin/feature would be widely
   used.
