Even though you have sidebars turned off your WordPress theme is forcing the column that Simple Press is in to a width of 610px.

I am not familiar with that WP theme.
Is there a width setting in your theme for when Sidebars are turned off?

Thank you for reply. I most say… I don´t know 

But my “nosidebar.php” looks like this. Is that usefull?

<?php

/*

Template Name: No Sidebar

*/

?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”columns”>

<div id=”centercol”>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class=”box post full” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>

<div class=”post-block”>

<div class=”post-title”>

<h1>

<?php the_title(); ?>

</problem-with-post-edit-button1>

</div>

</div>

<!–/post-title –>

<div class=”content border”>

<?php the_content(‘<p class=”serif”>Read the rest of this page »</p>’); ?>

<!–/post-excerpt –>

</div>

<!–/content –>

</div>

<!–/box –>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

</div>

<!–/centercol –>

<div class=”clr”></div>

</div>

<!–/columns –>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I don’t know that SimpleWhite theme either but you need to look into it’s configuration, there must be a panel where you can set width when using 1 sidebar, and when using no sidebar.

OK Thanks, I will try to take a closer look. Now I have a lead 🙂

Have you tried going to your page “Forum” (or whatever you named it) in WP and clicking edit page, then on the RHS you should see “Page Attributes”. On the Template drop down menu click Page Fullwidth

Hi

Yes “Full page” template is active, but the forum is still in only 610px 🙁

Hi did you change location of your forum,and did you make a page with Fullwidth ,also you have to change where your forum is in your forum admin panel – in section called intergration: Select the WP Page to be used to display your forum:

SP is set to use up 100% of the available width. Your Wp theme determines the ‘container’ that is made available for the page content – in this case SP – so that is the restriction and the width needs to be sorted within the theme.

If the theme does not offer a truly full width page template – as many do – then the only recourse is to create a new template that does.

This very generalised tutorial in our old V4 wiki (http://wiki.simple-press.com/faq-answers/custom-wp-page-template/) is getting a little old in the tooth but it still explains what is needed to do this. There are also tutorials on the WP codex. It is not that hard.

Thank you very much. I will take a close look at this.

glad we could help. let us know how you make out…

Thank you. The link below given by Yellow swordfish worked great to make the forum page full width

That’s great. Thanks for updating the topic.
