Hi – Hope you can help…

Im using SimplePress with Wish List Member and the Thesis theme.

I'd like to have the forum appear full width, using the "no-sidebars" page template.  It presently appears to be using "members.php" – which (apparently) has 2 sidebars.

I already set the Forum page to use the "no sidebars" template – but that doesnt appear to be enough.

Any ideas?  Is there a file I can edit?

Many thanks for any suggestions… Smile

you are on the right track… assuming your 'no-sidebars' page template is written properly (no sidebars and full width css), the forum will use the width available…

did it remove the sidebar?

do you have a link so we can see?

well, you have not selected a page template that is without sidebars…  if your theme comes with such a page template, you need to edit the page the forum is on and select that page template.  dont forget to save the page after changing the template…  if you believe you have already done that, you need to look at that theme template page file and confirm it has not sidebars..

if your theme does not have a full width page template without sidebars, you will need to create one.  you can use our wiki as a guide for creating a custom page template…
