How to turn off theme for a page.

    I have never used CSS prior to yesterday. Published a forum for my users. The forum was 50% of the page and would not stretch to the width of the page.

    Using WordPress 6.4.1 , I sought to simply apply a null theme, or even ANY other theme that would use my full page for the forum.

    Ended up hacking my way through it and thought I would share what did work. Under Appearance -> Edit CSS I placed the following code where “page-id-#” can be found in the URL of the page that you are editing in the WordPress GUI.

    .page-id-202	.site-header {
	display: none;
}

.page-id-202    .site-footer {
	display: none;
}

.page-id-202    .site {
	margin: 1.5em 1%;
	padding: 1.5em 0 0;
}

.page-id-202	.site-inner {
	max-width: none;
	min-width: 960px;
	min-height: 700px;
	max-height: none;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
}

.page-id-202    .site-content {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
}

    You will find that Widgets still appear on the page unless you turn their visibility off for your page. “Appearance -> Widgets -> Visibility (for every widget listed)”

    That site is not hosted by wordpress.COM. You are posting to the wrong support forum.

    We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
    (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
    (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.

    Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.me/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

    Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.me/support/

    Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
    http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack

    However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    As you are referring to a site that is not hosted here, if you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.
    Resetting your WordPress.ORG password http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password
    WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

    Hi there,

    Thank you so much for sharing your findings!

    As @timethief noted, these forums are intended for folk who have their sites hosted here at WordPress.com but thank you so much for sharing your findings!

    You may wish to share it to the forum for the plugin you used to generate your forum.

    If you enjoyed diving into CSS then we also have a dedicated CSS forum on WordPress.com, where you could tackle other problems and help people:

    We also have a listing of good resources for learning more about CSS here:

    Thanks!
