I'm trying to remove the sidebar from certain pages and once it is removed the width of the post div readjusts. How to do this?
For pages you can create different template and use it with a specific pages. For posts you can use a custom field to mark pages that requires no sidebar, then read this custom field in your single.php and make corresponding layout adjustments. Hope you know how to do it.
You can use the simple PHP script in page.php to remove the sidebar from specific page.. Here is the PHP script-
<?php if (is_page('your_page_name')) { ?>
<? } else { ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<? } ?>

We use Wordpress for the company blog. We would like to show some of the posts in a popover (or light box) on another website. To do that, we need to be able to show just the post's contents without the widgets, header, footer, etc.
So, for example, look at this post:
http://wordpress.org/news/2014/07/wordpress-4-0-beta-1/
Imagine being able to use a special URL, like http://wordpress.org/news/2014/07/wordpress-4-0-beta-1/?postOnly=true where the top header would be removed (the black stuff), all the widgets on the side bar, the entire footer, etc.
Only thing remaining would be the headline, when posted and by who, and the actual post contents.
Any ideas?
Create a very simple page template with code similar to this:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Clean Page Template
*/
wp_head();
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;
endif;
wp_footer();
Then just set this template in the post edit screen.
If You can modify theme You're using it's simple to do - just check if postOnly parameter is set and set to true in places that render header, footer etc. If so, simply don't render it.
I'm designing a website using WordPress. I want to know how to remove the post and comment boxes which is available by default in WordPress...and also I want to know how to add plugin's in that static page
First, create page with name "Home", insert shortcode of plugin or anything you want.
Second, go to Apperance, choose Customize. At Static Front Page, tick A static page radio button, choose "Home" from dropdown list Front page. Save.
In order to remove comments yoy must select the "Screen options" in the post editor (it's an option located at top-right on the screen) and check the Comments checkbox. Then at the editor's bottom you'll find a box with a checkbox to disable comments.
If you're working in Wordpress.com you cannot add plugin's for free. This is for security reasons. You must install Worpress in your own server to do that.
Ok, as per your comments on main question, I understand you want to remove posts and comment box on public facing page, not in WP-Admin panel.
I am giving you an overview of how you can proceed.
If you are using default TwentyThirteen thee then just remove this part from single.php
<?php /* The loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php twentythirteen_post_nav(); ?>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
This will remove post and comments template.
However I will recommend you to use custom page templates rather :

Here you'll find way to add custom page templates. There you can remove posts and comments :-)
i everyone i have afew pages in wordpress that i need different custom right sidebars on with different css styles. for example i would like my homepage right sidebar to be a set width say 100px and displaying specific content and id like to have my special offers page with a right sidebar thats a different width say 230px displaying different content like widgets etc...
to my understanding this should be able to be achieved by creating custom sidebars by registering them with a wordpress function and then creating a custom sidebar template php file with a different css class for the sidebar. and then calling the new custom sidebar template file inside of a custom page template file being applied to a target page in wordpress so that the page loads the custom sidebar template instead of the normal sidebar template with a new css class that can be modified to achieve different sidebar styles for different pages. so i created the following custom sidebar template and called it customrightsidebar.php
<div id="sidebar3"><div class="sidebar3"><?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('customright-sidebar') ) : ?><div class="customright-sidebar"><h4>Recent Posts</h4><ul><?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=5'); ?> </ul></div><?php endif; ?></div> <br style="clear:both"></div>
i then registered a new custom sidebar using this function
register_sidebar(array('name'=>'customright-sidebar','before_widget' => '<div class="customright-sidebar">','after_widget' => '</div>','before_title' => '<h4>','after_title' => '</h4>',));
and here is the custom page template that is calling the custom sidebar template
<?php get_header(); ?><div id="breadcrumb"><?php breadcrumbs(); ?></div>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/customrightsidebar.php");?>
<div id="kontenutama"> <div class="postingan2"><?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?><h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2><?php the_content(); ?><?php endwhile; else: ?> <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p><?php endif; ?><br style="clear:both;"></div></div>
<br style="clear:both"><div style="clear:both"></div><?php get_footer()?>
i successfully have a custom right sidebar that appears in my wordpress admin panel and i can apply widgets to it in the widgets section of my admin panel i can also see it appear in the custom sidebar dropdown selection menu in my wordpress pages where you would specify your new custom sidebars to overwrite the old ones. you can see a screenshot of the sidebar selection boxes in my theme by visiting this url
http://test.smartphonesource.org/sidebars.png
and normally by selecting it it would overwrite the default sidebars on the page
i have been able to get the custom sidebar template to load with the custom class on the page and ive been able to edit the css but the actual custom sidebar itself with its widgets isnt appearing or overwriting anything even though ive selected it to overwrite the right sidebar of the current page in the custom sidebars selection box
im not sure where to go from here or if there is a different way to do this i think somewhere the customsidebar isnt overwriting the default right sidebar when its been selected in the custom sidebar selection box on my pages im new to wordpress and php. ive been able to use the customright-sidebar on my videos page for testing and it successfully overwrote the right sidebar and worked but it was running this default right sidebar template
<div id="sidebar2"><div class="sidebar2"><?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar Right') ) : ?><div class="left-sidebar"><h4>Recent Posts</h4><ul><?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=5'); ?> </ul></div><?php endif; ?></div> <br style="clear:both"></div>
anyhelp would be greatly appreciated figuring this out =) you can see the homepage of the site here that im using to learn wordpress and from there you can navigate to the videos and special offers page that im tearing apart to get a better idea of what im trying to do with the sidebars

First of all, your website looks really awesome:) And to fix this did you make sure that your page is only grabbing the new sidebar code only?
i managed to fix the page issue im not sure what was wrong but it suddenly started working with the same code i know i cleared my cache so maybe that was affecting it or preventing the new changes from appearing sometimes if i dont clear the cache after i upload new images they wont display for me
I want to create a page template that has a pre-fixed css. Lets say I name it page-sevencol.php then I know that the content will have a fixed width and a specific style and so on. My pages have different layouts thats why I need to create these kind of templates.
Is it possible? if so how? Ive looked in the wp codex and it does not seem to have the answer. Please take a minute to help me.
Thank you!
you seem to need just a limited set of templates. The question is: do you want to apply them automatically? Basically, there are two techniques to apply a template to a page (or post or custom post, etc.) in WordPress.
First method: using the template naming convention to get the template automatically applied to a page (or post) with the same name.
In this case, you create a page page-mynewpage.php and this template will automatically get applied to your page named /mynewpage/.
Second method: you create a template by creating a page (let's say : template1.php) and declaring it as a template with a comment at the top of the page:
/**
* Template Name: Template1
*
*/
This template will now be selectable inside the admin of WordPress to be applied to any page:
So if A) you only need a limited set of templates & B) are ok to select them on a per-page basis in the admin, this is your solution. You would just need to create as many pages as you need templates, not forgetting to include the comments that declare them as templates and using a different name each time.
If you need your templates to be applied dynamically, then we need more info about the logic to use for select each template...
EDIT : That is it, Abel (just read your comment). Your page is mainly generated with 4 elements: header.php, sidebar.php, footer.php and another page to produce the content, but this page is different depending on where you are in the site. If you are on a page, it will be, by default, page.php. If you are reading a post, WordPress will by default use single.php.
To apply all your different templates, just go and open page.php in your theme folder. Save it under another name, like page-template7cols.php. Insert a comment like I just explained above, so this template will show in your admin next time you create a new page. Adapt it the way you want (changing the HTML / PHP and therefore adapting the way the content of the page will be displayed). Do the same for your other 9 templates.
Then, everytime you create a new page, just start by selecting the proper template in your dropdown (see previous screen capture). And whenever you will make a change to page-template7cols.php, for example, the changes will be reflected on all pages for which you have selected this template.
/**
Template Name: Template1
*/
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="content-wrap sevencol clearfix">
<div class="row clearfix">
<div class="content">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I need to display several sidebars with custom context.
I suppose that I need to add several additional blogs to be displayed as sidebars. That is for every sidebar I am going to create a little specialized blog.
The question: How to make sidebars from a different blog to be displayed in a blog sidebar?
If you want to add more than one sidebar, you need to create sidebar for each blog and name it. E.g., want to create sidebar for aboutus.php (created as template page). Create sidebar as sidebar_aboutus.php and add what you want in sidebar to it.
Then include that sidebar_aboutus.php in your aboutus.php like this:
<?php
/**
* Template Name: About us
*
* Selectable from a dropdown menu on the edit page screen.
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php include ('sidebar_aboutus.php'); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Likewise, you can create and include as many sidebars as you need for your different blog pages.
