  How to remove all “single post sidebar” in the worldview theme? Visually, I don’t like the single post sidebar because I want the body of my post to appear fuller and wider. I’ve removed all single post sidebar in my dashboard, but still it automatically put “about”, “category”, and “tags” widget on. Please help me get rid of it, thank you.

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

  HI there!

  I see that you were able to remove it by adding an empty Text Widget!

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  Thanks for your reply. Actually I have done that a long time ago without effect. For example, currently I only have an empty Text Widget on the single post sidebar, but the “about” and “category” widgets still appear as you can see here: http://nadya.wordpress.com/2014/06/06/why-indonesias-farmers-are-getting-younger/

  Please help, it is annoying to see two head-shots of me in a single page. Thank you!

  Hi there,

  Sorry about this. I just took a closer look at your theme and found that this is the intended nature of the theme as seen in the theme’s support guide here:

  https://wordpress.com/themes/worldview/support/

  Specifically it states this:

  Above this sidebar, there are post meta Widgets (Categories, Tags, Multiple Author Information) that are always visible, no matter what changes are made to the single post sidebar. Once you add Widgets to this sidebar, they will appear directly below the tags.

  So the only way to manually remove this would be to edit CSS. You would need to purchase the Custom Design upgrade to do this. In addition to editing CSS you can also apply custom fonts and colors.

  If you are interested in purchasing the upgrade, let me know and I can help you with the code to remove it!

  Cheers!

  Thanks, I will think about it.

  My second question is about “comments”. It seems to me that readers have to click the single post to see comment box. It means I am supposed to put the “more” sign in my post so that reader could click “read full article”. Only then would the comment box appear. Otherwise they would not know where to comment.

  The problem is, I feel it creates a bit of hassle and inconvenience for reader. Is it any way for the comment box to appear at the primary post stream for example here (under each post): http://nadya.wordpress.com/category/the-wallflower/

  As you can see, how it appears right now, there’s no chance the reader would notice how to comment. Please help me, if possible without CSS upgrade.

  Thanks so much!

  My second question is about “comments”. It seems to me that readers have to click the single post to see comment box. It means I am supposed to put the “more” sign in my post so that reader could click “read full article”. Only then would the comment box appear. Otherwise they would not know where to comment.

  So this is also the intended nature because if comments were possible on the Posts page, and you were to have hundreds of comments, readers would then have to scroll quite a bit to get to the second post.

  This is why comments are only allowed once readers click into the specific post itself.

  However, if comments are the centerpiece of your blog – more than the posts itself, we do have a theme that allows this:
