  The description for the Coraline theme says:

  “has an optional full-width page template that removes the sidebar.”

  But I can’t figure out how to do this. Can anyone help? I tried deleting my widgets from the sidebars, with no luck. I managed to get the archive widget to the footer area, which is really the only widget I want to have at this time.

  Thanks very much!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I don’t know where you read this:

  “has an optional full-width page template that removes the sidebar.”

  Coraline offers a variety of sidebar layouts, but no option to remove all sidebars:

  @1tess: Dashboard > Appearance > Themes. Search for “Coraline” and the description nywoe is quoting appears.

  @nywoe: The “no sidebars” option is applicable only to pages. Details here:

  From the description:

  …and has an optional full-width page template that removes the sidebar.

  As airodyssey says, it only applies to static pages.
