How do I use secondary or tertiary sidebars on individual pages/posts?

How do I use secondary or tertiary sidebars on individual pages/posts? I have a few pages that I want to use the secondary sidebar for and disable the primary sidebar. How do I do this without changing my default layout to include two sidebars? I don't want to have to go manually disable the secondary sidebar in 700 pages/posts. Thanks, Dan danoah.com

I understand that I can change the layout on the individual page to have two sidebars and then disable the primary, but that just leaves a large empty area where the primary sidebar would have been. If I set it to "one sidebar" the option for secondary sidebar isn't there.

Hey Dan, If you only want to do this on a few pages, you can change the width of the #content div, specifying it using the ID of the page that's dynamically added to the body element as a class.

That was way over my head Kate. :)

My site requires the same use of primary/secondary sidebars.. so can I just add this CSS to the CSS rules on the Custom Code section of the Pagelines Settings? I tried this but it doesn't seem to work: .content.page-id-89 {width: 650px;}

i figured it out...this seems to do the trick: .post-89 {width: 650px;} where the -89 is the id # for the specific page i want content to overlap the (hidden) primary sidebar... @danoah -- do the following: 1. load the page you want to apply this to...then click View Page Source in your browser (different for each browser)...look for the

Hello, thank you for this. All this did was make the sidebar and the content overlap, with a blank area for sidebar two. I've noticed that nothing shows up in sidebar two (I have widgets in the secondary sidebar). Am I doing something incorrectly?
