  Hello!

  I was wondering if there is any simple HTML code I could stick into my sidebar that would allow me to hide text/images/my entire sidebar for one page of my blog. I love my sidebar, and I don’t want to get rid of it completely. I have to wait a bit to pay for the CSS upgrade, so if there is any hide/show code for images and text, I would be over the moon!!

  thanks!

  No there is not, and there is no way in the CSS to hide it on one page only either although if there was, I would expect only Sandbox 1.6.1 would have that ability.

  Actually, you could easily set something up in your template. In your template, open “page.php” and basically near the bottom there where it’s loading the function “get_sidebar();” just add a conditional statement there to tell it to load or not.

  For example. My “contact” page loads with the url:

  http://mydomain.com/index.php?page_id=2

  So when im loading the sidebar function, I tell it to ignore the load if page id = 2.

  <?php
  	if ($_GET['page_id'] != 2)
  		get_sidebar();
  ?>

  Simple. Now it loads on every page, but if the page_id in the url is = 2, no load.

  Hope that helps..

  Gak. I see this is for the hosted WordPress only. Color me ignorant I got this thread from a google result so I wasn’t quite sure what the context was. My apologies.
