No-Sidebar Template Issue

Postby smelehan » 20 Jan 2010, 18:31

I can't thank you enough for making such a great theme. I do have a bit of a problem, but it is not really with your theme, it is with plugin. I was just wondering if you have any suggestions on how to fix it.

I am using a plugin called Pods to create custom wordpress pages and content. In order for the plugin to work correctly it has to have a call to get_content() rather than suffusion_content() . I made a custom page template by deleting the loop and replacing suffusion_content() with get_content() . This custom template works great and all the content shows up fine. However, I have decided to delete the sidebars on the custom pages so I tried changing the call to suffusion_content() to get_content() in the no-sidebar.php template, and deleting the loop. However when I do this, the page still brings up the sidebar, and all the content is displayed under the sidebar.

the page is: http://libertyandpride.com/government-c ... /senators/

I changed the page back to its regular format, but I would really like to get rid of the sidebar altogether on this page. Please let me know if you have any suggestions

Thanks for the explanation. The no-sidebars template should work for what you are suggesting. For the pages you are trying to create, did you assign the no-sidebars template or something else?

I assigned the no-sidebar template to the pages that I am trying to use. I think the issue is that they are not actually wordpress pages they are called pod pages (these are special custom pages generated by the plugin). So I guess what I am trying to do, is manually delete the call to the sidebar. For some reason, when I assign the no-sidebar template (the version I edited) it still calls the sidebar and displays the page content beneath the sidebar.
