I was able to remove the widget function of the ride side of the forum, hoping that it would center the forum in the middle of the page, but I see that it does not.

Is there anyway for the forum to center in the middle of the page?

Thanks,

Just took a look and there is still a sidebar. if your plan is to remove that on the forum page then yes – you will be able to widen the forum display.
Are you doing this with a custom page template (which is the best way)?

I was able to delete the widgets on the Forums pages that I was working with by using this code.

<?php

add_filter( 'sidebars_widgets', 'disable_all_widgets' );

function disable_all_widgets( $sidebars_widgets ) {

if ( is_page('Forum') )
$sidebars_widgets = array( false );

return $sidebars_widgets;
}

I put this path inside the functions.php folder to cause the widgets not to appear on the side bar. Problem is I was getting an error message and could not sign out, so I restored it to default, still looking to see whats wrong or if there is another way to remove the widgets, and then center the forum.

Thanks,

You probably will still need to create a special template as you will need to change some CSS settings for it.
Check first if your theme has a full width template – many themes do. if not then you will need to build one. We do have a generalised tutorial on this: http://wiki.simplepressforum.c…..-template/
