 * Hi There,
    I have taken every last widget out of the sidebar box and still the
   is still a sidebar on the blog posts. it has meta, archives & search even though
   on my widgets page those are all moved to the “off” column.
 * The search box is particularly redundant as it is right under the main menu search
   box.
 * How do I remove the sidebar from showing up on the blog posts.
 * Thank you.

 * Hello,
 * in order to remove the sidebar, you can place this code in your child style.css
   or insert it with the Custom CSS plugin:
 *     ```
       #secondary .widget, #footer-sidebar .widget {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Once you do that you will have a big space on the right where the sidebar used
   to be, so to fix that you can expand the content area by adding this code:
 *     ```
       #primary {
             width: 100%;
       }
       ```

 * Thank you, now to find someone who understands what all that means to help me
   make it so.
 * Any chance it will become an option to turn it off in future updates?

 * You’d have to wait for the theme author to answer that.
