Hey I know this shouldn't be a problem for me but I am trying to design a custom child theme using twenty fifteen but I can not figure out how to get rid of that freaking left sidebar without losing things. What is the best way to get this off to a blank page with only header nav content footer?

Thanks, Yes I have gone to codeX and searched for this problem but still NO FUCKING LUCK!

Damn where is everyone??? Anyone kind enough to help? I was thinking about messing with

Code:

<?php wp_head(); ?>

When I take that out it does give me a blank page but I know I shouldn't because it is useful any suggestions?

Use magnifying glass in Chrome Webmaster Tools, check rules on the right hand side, on and off, you can also navigate starting from <html> towards <body> - <head>, and so on (horizontally, meaning you can select it on a horizontal menu there). Get familiar with this tool, and then figure out what you need to do. You may need to delete some php code, in the child theme, you would need to work on that.

It is possible, that somebody did something like that before, search the Internet for it too.

Edit: I mean, Chrome Webmaster Tools magnifying glass will show you the html code too, so you can easily find, what code needs to be deleted or changed.

2014 and 2015 themes are not very good / successful, I would say. Especially the 2014 one, which starts from the left hand side of the screen, and the other side is empty / blank. Somebody messed it up, for some reason, but people seem to use it, anyway. I centered 2014, one time, but it is still not good (proportions of post content to the rest of the design are not correct, I am not sure, again, they messed it up).

2015 is not bad, and it can be modified to anything you want, but it may be difficult, I am not sure. Some changes are easy, the other ones a little harder, but in general it is not a difficult thing to do. I worked on modifying 30+ themes, as child themes.

Edit:

Go to - https://twentyfifteendemo.wordpress.com/

Right click on the left hand sidebar, and select "Inspect element".

Chrome Webmaster Tools opens, and you can start working on it with the magnifying glass, and the other tools there. It looks like "sidebar" div, is what you would be interested in. the @media screen may be getting in the way of this, a little bit, like I said, it may require some work. Anything can be done, in the end...

Also, like I said before -> google.com -> "twenty fifteen wordpress no sidebar"
