Oxygen has a full-width page template. Open your pages in the editor and in the “attributes” module select “full width” from the page template pulldown and then update your pages.

Thank you very much!
But I would like to keep sidebar on the right. If I can`t do that I now know how to have “full width” pages.

I’m not seeing the left sidebar on http://karensprojekter.wordpress.com/ . Are you wanting to recover that space for your posts and pages?

Exactly! I would like to move posts and pages to the left so to speak. And keep the right sidebar.

Ah, that we can do! Add the following to your custom CSS.
```
#content {
margin-left: 0;
}
```
You may have to rework some of your content after doing this so that it aligns properly with the new wider content area.

Hi,

I’m trying to remove the right sidebar and recover the space in the Oxygen theme (while keeping the left one). My blog is: http://travelblaug.wordpress.com

I was actually able to do it for my whole blog… except for the main page ; the widget area remains empty but I would like the picture and the articles’ summary to expand full-width. Here’s an example of what I mean: http://simplemedicine.co/

I’m new to WordPress and CSS editing. Will I recover the space on the right by using the code above and changing “margin-left” for “margin-right” ?

Thank you !

@marshmallau, can you please start a new thread on that and I’ll watch for it? Dealing with two different issues in the same thread can confuse people coming to it later on. Thanks in advance.

The code I gave is to recover the left sidebar area that typically has the menu in it. You will require different code.

Thank you for responding!
Do you think it is possible to remove the left sidebar and extend the space for the content of my pages (to the left)? Or should I use another theme?

@karenkrogsgaard, that is what the code I’ve given above does for you.

You are welcome, and yes that happens when more than one thing gets going in a thread. We’ve been trying to encourage people to start new threads when they have a different question, but I didn’t do that in this case.

And finally to this topic, have you got any idea how to find out how many pixels the pictures will have to be now, after extending their space?

The content and sidebar widths are set as percentages of the overall width, but it looks like about 584px is the size you would have to upload. The image in the first post on your site was uploaded at 470px wide.
