 * I see `get_sidebar()` is in the header.php file. How can I make a full width 
   template for this theme?
 * I’ve made a child theme
 * Thanks, John

 * Hi John – If you don’t place any widgets in Sidebar 2, the layout is full-width
   by default.
 * Would this serve your needs well enough, or did you want to create a full-width
   template that you can select only for specific pages?
 * Because of the way Adaption is coded it might be a bit tricky to create a full-
   width custom template the traditional way. It could be done more easily with 
   some custom CSS, to hide the right sidebar on specific pages.
 * Let me know which route you go and if you need more help.

 * Removing widgets from sidebar 2 makes the content area go from 715px to 790px
   ish on a 1366px screen. Not much of a gain for removing a 240px sidebar considering
   it also shrinks sidebar 1 slightly and still leaves 260px of white space. Of 
   course I can re-adjust all that with css.
 * Is there some trick I don’t know about for hiding a sidebar conditionally with
   css or are we talking inline css per page?
 * Not a big deal. This was a potential theme for a potential client as it almost
   matches his hand coded html site so I thought he would want to keep the look 
   but since then I’ve found out he’s been eyeballing premium photography themes
   that look nothing like what he currently has.

 * You can hide the right sidebar – or make other CSS tweaks – on specific pages,
   by targeting the page’s unique ID. For example, this would hide the sidebar on
   the page with the ID 5.
 *     ```
       .page-id-5 #secondary {
        display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * To target multiple pages:
 *     ```
       .page-id-5 #secondary, .page-id-6 #secondary {
        display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can also use CSS to widen the main column on specific pages as well.
 * Let me know if you need further help.
