It was the vertical to be honest, was wanting just a nice plain thing to work on! If you’ve got any ideas I’d be grateful! Cheers D * [Rev.

Cuz if you want the sidebar gone and the post content to fill the width of the page, its going to take some fairly heavy mods…. * Thread Starter [sirps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sirps/) * (@sirps) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-by-admin-line/#post-1448396) * I was hoping to yes, and yes I was in my newbie mind wondering when someone was going to tell me that one! Any thoughts on what I could do? D * [Rev.

I’m just kind aeyeballing it here * Now if you don’t plan to remove the sidebar on everything, its harder….as #content is shared by your posts, pages, etc. So if you left the sidebar in some areas and widened #content…it would jack up some of your layout * So to just affect your index.php youd have to do something like change #content to #content2 and copy the css in your stylesheet, changing the name to the new div id * confusing yet?? * Thread Starter [sirps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sirps/) * (@sirps) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-by-admin-line/#post-1448455) * hell yeah that hurts! how much time do you think it would take someone who knows what the hell they were doing to work it out? would rather toss someone a few bucks than spend the next three months trying to suss it! though if I have to… big thanks by the way! * Thread Starter [sirps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sirps/) * (@sirps) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-by-admin-line/#post-1448533) * Had a look at it in the cold light of day, rather than after a lengthy liquid lunch, sorted!
