In my below post I used code and information from:
http://www.expand2web.com/blog/wordpress-custom-page-template-no-sidebars/
I found this code to make a no sidebar template:
<?php
/*
Template Name: No Sidebar
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div style="width:850px !important;">
<?php the_content('
Read the rest of this page »</p>’); ?> <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit this entry.’, ‘<p>’, ‘</p>’); ?> <?php endwhile; else: ?> <p><?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’); ?></p> <?php endif; ?> </div> </div> <?php get_footer(); ?>
That made it almost perfect except that the forum wasnt centered on the page.
I thought I should add:
<DIV ALIGN=CENTER> at the top and </DIV> at the end.
I thought I made it when I found out that:
1. the top navigaion menu was completely gone
2. ALL the text in the forum was centered ( forum topics, the texts in posts….)
3. The text resizer (AAA) was black against my grey background, above outside the forum “wrapper/body”
4. It looked weird in Explorer.
