How To Remove Sidebar from Single Post Pages?

[opossum 0]

I'm spending quite some time now trying to figure out how one can remove the sidebar from all single post pages per default (in Platform Pro)? Just like on PageLine's blog posts, how am I going to do this, please? Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Try going under "Layout Editor" in the settings ??”? and under the "Default Layout Mode," select the full-width option (it's the block just to the left of the default).

+1 for David. You can also hide sidebars for individual posts in the PageLines Section Control settings on the right side of the post editor. (That is, if you want a sidebar to hide in one single post page, but not in any others)

Thanks for the answers. It doesn't do the trick yet though. What I want to accomplish is a layout that's very similar to that of the PageLines Web site. In other words, the main blog page in magazine style with a sidebar on the right, ALL single blog post pages with two "empty" sidebars (one on the right, one on the left) and, consequently, a width of the main column (~560px) that's smaller than the width of the whole site (960px). Then some pages with that same main column in 560px and others with a full 960px width. Again, just like on the PageLines site. I can get the above partially working by going to the Layout Editor, choosing the last default layout (the one with two sidebars), and then removing sections from Sidebar 1 & 2 in the Template Setup. However, then the blog's home page is left with a blank right sidebar. And whatever I did in Appearance -> Widgets the sidebar remains empty. And also, how can I have some page layouts with the main column in a full 960px width?

Hi Marcus, In "Template Setup" you can also modify single pages. Simply choose "Single Post Page" from the dropdown, and in the right column you can choose the options (including sidebars) that you do or don't want to appear. Additional changes (to width, for instance) can be made via CSS.

Thanks Kate! The things is though that whenever I place sidebars to "Displayed xxx Page Sections" these sidebars show up above or underneath the content area, not in the actual sidebar! I'm still wondering how I get content to the sidebar of the main blog page (with what I've said previously in mind)? As for additional changes to width via CSS, where exactly am I supposed to do these changes?

It would help to get a link so we can see how the sidebars are acting. Also, the CSS changes can be made in either Settings > Custom Code > CSS Rules or the base.css file the child theme, PlatformBase. Do you know how to change width using CSS?

No link, unfortunately... theme is still installed in a dev environment. Again, single (post) pages are pretty much how I want them. I'm still wondering how to get content into the right sidebar of the main blog post page... Anyone knows the solution? How or what did the folks behind PageLines do (it)?

OK, I think I go it... The idea is to install the Widget Logic plugin and entering

is_home()

in all "Widget logic" fields in the Primary Sidebar widget at Appearance -> Widgets. :-) Thanks to Andrew's hint... http://www.pagelines.com/docs/sidebars-widgets#comment-120378256 Thank you all!
