  I would like to know which themes allow arbitrary switch on/off sidebar for both posts AND pages.

  I want to have a sidebar on some posts/pages and not others. So far I only know of the Corporate theme which allows this feature. Are there any other themes?

  Many thanks.

  Hi @enlightenmentmyth, have you thought about using widget visibility instead of looking for a particular theme?

  We have several themes that won’t display a sidebar if you don’t have any widgets to display. So using one of those, you would add widgets, but change their visibility so they would only display on certain pages or posts:

  Let us know if you need more help with this:
