    I have looked at a lot of posts about removing the sidebar from categories and have tried this but all that happens is the sidebar is no longer visable when you view the category page (list of posts in that category).
    Is it possible to remove the sidebar from all posts that are in a category. So when you view the post if it is in cat. 18 it will not display the side bar?
    Thanks for the help.

    In your template file you can use a conditional statement: if we are not on the no sidebar category, then display sidebar. You can set up a conditional statement by using is_category( ’18’ ): https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Conditional_Tags

    Thanks very much. Just for anyone else looking for a solution to this what i did was replace
    <?php get_sidebars(); ?>
    in single.php
    with

    <?php if (in_category('18'))
{
echo "";}

else
{
echo get_sidebar()
;}
?>

    My PHP knowledge is next to none so i assume this sucks but it worked. I’m sure someone will have a more elegant solution.
