No, wordpress is it, yeah, I just opened a fan page on FB and twitter and am about to start promoting..... I need to clean up a few things on the site and write a disclaimer......then promote....content.......promote.....content.....
Yes, Roey helped. It fixed everything.... Thanks, but do you know if I can place my adds on certain pages and not others. Meaning, I don't want my adds on my home page and the "Recommended products" page. Apparently, I try put an add in, and it defaults to every page......Little my little I gues
I was getting ready to tell you how to remove the sidebar from selected pages, but when looking at the latest version, The page template is not available. I will have to do a bit more checking. It is probably easier than the way I used to do it. If you want to investigate it for yourself you can go to wordpress.org and search through the documentation and even register for their free forum if you like.
I will check it out, since I am curious now, and get back to you unless somebody beats me to it
Here is what I found out so far, apparantly my theme has no page.php or standard template, but yours may, even in new versions. When editing the page it is only available in "quick edit" mode. (in version 2.92)
You may need to switch to the default theme and then back to your theme to get it to show up.
So here are the general steps.
1.Open Page.php file using a text editor like notepad or from wordpress editor. Make sure you make a backup first. If you go log in to wordpress and go to Appearance then to Editor, you should see page.php on the right. Click on it. Now select all the text and right click and copy(or Ctrl+C) Then open notepad from accessories from all programs (Windows xp or greater) Then right click and Paste (or Ctrl+V). Now Click on File|Save As and give it a name like originalpagetemplate.txt and save it. You now have a backup in case anything goes wrong while editing.
2.With notepad still open find the code that says <?php get_sidebar(); ?> and remove it. If you have two sidebars you will need to remove both of the entries that call the sidebar. I think it is sidebar and sidebar1.
3. Edit the top of the file Where it has code that looks like
/**
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Default_Theme
*/
And replace it with something like this
/*
Template Name: NoSidebar
*/
4. Click on File |Save As and save this as NoSideBar.php or something similar that is descriptive.
5. Upload this file to your /wp-content/themes/yourtheme/ Using FTP or Cpanel File manager. However you got your theme uploaded. There may be a way to do this right from wordpress, but I'm not sure. Anyway the goal is to get the new template file into your theme's folder.
6. Once that is done you can log in to Wordpress and got to the pages that you want to not show a sidebar and select quick edit and select the nosidebar.php template as the page template for that page from the pull down menu. And you can leave the other pages alone.
With a two column theme like yours you may be able to put all the ads in one sidebar and leave the other one for widgets. I have not tried this but it should work. You would just delete only one of the getsidebar functions in step 2.
Note: You also have a copy of the original page.php file in your zipped up theme file.
I know your new to this stuff, but it really gets easier the more you do it, and this one is pretty safe to try since you can always put your original page.php file back if anything unexpected happens.
Hhhhhmmmm....... looks difficult and easy at the same time...LOL. Well, I'll giveit a try........ I contacted the maker of Amazing Grace and he said we would have to rewrite the whole HTML in order to do it. But maybe this is rewriting it... technically...IDK. I will give it a shot, if it doesn't work, I shrunk the e-mail sign up link and will move it to the left where the adds are and pt the adds in the far right column, so at least it is away from my articles.
Thanks a lot, Pablo, it is great to meet people, make friends and get help. I am so very glad for all you generous people.
Also, its important to emphasize Pablo's instruction to copy into a "text editor." Be sure it is a text editor like Notepad and NOT a word processing program like MSWord. This is because you want to keep all of your code characters true; Word will convert some stuff and then when you try and paste it back into your Wordpress Editor it won't be identical to what you had saved and will result in lots of tears and possibly a chocolate binge!
