 * Hi, I’m not sure if this is a theme question, or a wordpress question… Anyway,
   I’m trying to remove the left side bar in all my posts. I have no content in 
   them, but there is a very large margin that I’d like to disappear completely,
   especially when the browser window is narrowed. Right now, when the screen is
   compressed, the blank sidebar/margin gets a fixed size while the images in the
   post are pushed off screen.

 * Hello!
 * First thing I would check is that when you are creating your post, that you chose
   the full-width temple (no sidebar).
 * Also, can you post a link to your site so I can take a look for you?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@xofd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xofd/)
 * Try going to Appearance > Theme Settings > Posts and de-activating the first 
   setting labelled Clickable Thumbnails.
 * Hope that helps.

 * In addition, give the following a try at Appearance > Custom CSS:
 *     ```
       /* Posts */
   
       #post-main {
         width: 100%;
       }
       ```

 * Hey [@bjscott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bjscott/), when I click Post
   > Add Post, there’s no option to chose a full-width template. I think I got rid
   of this somehow when there were big images appearing on the rhs of screen. Similarly,
   @Mispion, I had already de-activated the clickable thumbnails. And sadly, the
   CSS doesn’t seem to change it at all.

   while I set it up, but how?

 * The page template drop down is only available on pages. It’s not there for posts.
