Create a new file called full-width.php inside your templates directory and paste this code –> http://pastebin.com/Fnt6Hcg3
I created it by copying page.php, then removed get_footer() function and copied the contents of footer.php into it.
After that I removed the following code
if ( 5 != $bavotasan_theme_options['layout'] )
get_sidebar();
?>
I tried to remove this get_sidebar() function by hooking and applying filters but couldn’t make it work which is why I manually copied the footer code into this template and removed that function.
No!
@jesin: Please stop advising people to edit WPORG themes!
@exceldevelopers: Do not edit the theme itself. First create a child theme for your changes.
@esmi
Create a new file called full-width.php inside your templates directory
does this come under “editing themes”? does upgrading a theme wipe manually created files ?
@esmi: Just now tried it with an older version of this theme and you were right! I never thought newly created files would be deleted. I’ll include it the next time I advise someone 🙂 And thanks for making me aware of this.
so should i:
create child theme
copy parent theme page.php to child them and rename to page-fullwidth (say)
make changes to page-fullwidth as Jesin suggested?
I did all that but it doesn’t seem to pick up that there is now a custom page template available. I have page.php in parent them and page-fullwidth.php in child theme. I presume I should be doing something differently, but what? place a copy of page.php in child theme?
Did you activate your child theme ?
Yes. But I forgot to name the custom page template:
/**
Template Name: Full Width
*/
Once I did that, I was able to select the page template for the page I am editing, but the right sidebar still shows. Sigh. Here is the custom page template code:
<?php
/**
Template Name: Full Width
*/
$bavotasan_theme_options = bavotasan_theme_options();
get_header(); ?>
<div style="width:100%" id="primary" <?php bavotasan_primary_attr(); ?>>
<?php
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>
<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content( __( 'Read more →', 'tonic' ) ); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'footer' ); ?>
</article><!-- #post-<?php the_ID(); ?> -->
<?php
comments_template( '', true );
endwhile; // end of the loop.
?>
</div><!-- #primary.c8 -->
<footer id="footer" role="contentinfo">
<div id="footer-content" class="grid <?php echo $bavotasan_theme_options['width']; ?>">
<div class="row">
<p class="copyright c12">
<span class="fl"><?php printf( __( 'Copyright © %s %s. All Rights Reserved.', 'tonic' ), date( 'Y' ), ' <a href="' . home_url() . '">' . get_bloginfo( 'name' ) .'</a>' ); ?></span>
<span class="credit-link fr"><i class="icon-leaf"></i><?php printf( __( '%s created by %s.', 'tonic' ), BAVOTASAN_THEME_NAME, '<a href="https://themes.bavotasan.com">c.bavota</a>' ); ?></span>
</p><!-- .c12 -->
</div><!-- .row -->
</div><!-- #footer-content.grid -->
</footer><!-- #footer -->
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
<!-- <?php echo BAVOTASAN_THEME_NAME; ?> created by c.bavota - https://themes.bavotasan.com -->
</body>
</html>
