 * if the whole sidebar is control by widget you can enter a blank text widget into
   the sidebar and the whole sidebar should collapse. if not you have to go into
   your theme and remove manually.

 * Please excuse my lack of experience. Could someone provide more detail about 
   the process? I have 3 files: Sidebar, l_sidebar, and r_sidebar.
    Also, do I need
   to modify the css file to divide the remaining room?

 * I currently have 2 sidebars and want to remove 1 of them. In the editor I see
   3 php files: sidebar, l_sidebar, and r_sidebar.
 * I edited sidebar.php to remove the mention of r_sidebar. While this removed it,
   the space for it was not allocated to my page and remaining sidebar, so I put
   it back.
 * Which php files do I need to modify and do I need to modify the css file to reallocate
   the remaining space?
 * My website is [http://www.everydaychristianity.com](http://www.everydaychristianity.com)
   and my theme is Super Adsense 2.1 by Gobala Krishnan.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * Sorry for the delay…
 * In your sidebar.php file, search the HTML code that correspond to the **<div 
   id=”r_sidebar”>** container, then delete the entire container. (from **<div id
   =”r_sidebar”>** to the **</div>** of the same level.)
 * Then, into your CSS file (usually called ‘style.css’)
    Go to the rules called**#
   l_sidebar** and see the ‘Width’ attribute, put the value ‘350px’ instead of ‘
   160px’ and add the attribute ‘Height’ with the value ‘100%’
 * It should work, I’ve made some test on your website.
 * Otherwise, if you want make something cleaner, then you can replace everywhere
   the HTML code **<div id=”r_sidebar”>** by **<div id=”main_sidebar”>** and do 
   the same into your CSS file, you’ve just to replace the rule **#l_sidebar** by**#
   main_sidebar**
 * Bye
