Full Width Page
WordPress normally displays pages and posts with a sidebar, but sometimes it is preferable to use a full width page without sidebar.
I had this problems recently when I decided to display on some pages of my WordPress blog Books-Software.com an Amazon aStore. The Store was just truncated when I used the default page template of my WordPress theme.
I found two articles that helped me to solve the problem and you can read them with the following url:
==> Make a Full Width Page For Your WordPress Theme
==> How to Integrate Amazon aStore to WordPress Page
I try to summarize the main points:
Pages in WordPress are defined by page.php in the theme. Make a copy of page.php and rename it with a name such as fullwidth.php or store.php.
Remove the sidebar; Sidebars are included in the page template using <?php get_sidebar(); ?>, Delete this statement from your new php template file
.Open up style.css and find where the style of the content area is defined. Usually its called #content. Create a new style for the full width called for example #contentwide
This solved my problem and I think that it is a useful approach to know.
