If you cannot locate page attributes go to the Screen Options pull down tab http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ located in the upper right corner of your Dashboard. It can be used to show/hide modules on some screens and show/hide columns on other screens.

It’s not page attributes that you change. May I ask some questions for clarity sake? I am using the same theme. I go to “Templates” under Page Attributes and in the drop-down menu box I select “Full width Page template, No Sidebar” and then I click “Update”. It works on my blog so I don’t know why it does not work on yours.

Hi there,

I’m sorry that it took us so long to respond to your question.

To make the plog posts page full-width, just remove all widgets from the Main Sidebar, the content width will adjust automatically.

Hi all, not sure if it’s ok to hop onto this thread but my problem is very related – I’m using a customised TwentyTwelve theme, and I have a front page that is not my blog feed page. Currently, my front page uses both bottom widget spaces that are available for the theme, and I don’t have any widgets in the sidebar space.
I would like to be able to leave my blog feed page widgetless, but have my other (connect) page to have a twitter widget. I have tried putting the twitter widget into the main sidebar widget space, but even when I set my blog feed page (…/blog) to Full-Width Template, and my (…/connect) page to Default Template, the twitter widget appears on both.
tl;dr,
is it possible to set the blog feed page to Full Width in TwentyTwelve?
Thanks. My site is http://www.jakebeamish.wordpress.com

Hi jakebeamish,

If I understand you correctly, you want your “Blog” page to be full width, while keeping widgets on your other pages? I’m afraid the only way to accomplish this is to hide the sidebar from your “Blog” page with Custom CSS, available through the Custom Design upgrade.

For example, the following CSS should do the trick (it hides the sidebar and adjusts the main column width accordingly):
```
body.blog #secondary {
      display: none;
}
body.blog .site-content {
     float: none;
     width: 100%;
}
```
