I need to activate the right side bar on my Autofocus Theme. How do I do that?

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

In the AutoFocus theme, the sidebar doesn’t display on the homepage, nor on individual blog posts. It’s displays only on pages, not on posts.

5. Widget-enabled sidebars are enabled on all pages.
6. Single post sidebars will in lieu of widgets show important post metadata. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/autofocus/

Is there a way to remove the sidebar on pages? I took off the widgets but now there’s just a blank space. In other words can I make it single column?

It can’t be done without purchasing a custom design upgrade so you can undertake CSS editing.

That being said, said I don’t know if it can be done with the upgrade so I’ll tag this thread for Staff response. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

I do have access to custom CSS editing but don’t know what code to use, still getting familiar with CSS.

Please hang in there. I don’t help with CSS Editing but other Volunteers and Staff do.

Oh ok :) Sorry didn’t mean to rush, just wanted to inform that I did have CSS editing capabilities.

@myvelasquez, the following will get rid of the sidebar on static pages and extends the content to recover that space.
```
.page #sidebar {
    display: none;

.page #content {
    width: 100%;
}
```
