Wordpress question....Help a brutha out - GoFuckYourself.com

Snake Doctor · 03-30-2006, 11:48 AM

I want to add some pages to my blog, BUT they're rather large and I don't want to have the "sidebars" displayed on these pages (it's a 3 column blog)
How do I add these pages to the blog without doing an actual hahahahahaha but still have them show up on the google sitemap and be searchable within the blog?

Thanks

You can change the layout of the pages by adding a page.php to your theme directory and modifying it accordingly.

If you don't want the sidebar on any of your "pages" you can take it out in the page.php template. If you're trying to mix it up well I dunno.

I'm creating a page but now wordpress keeps fucking up. When I go to view the new page I get a 404 error. Weird.

Also, on the one page I did get working it still displays with the sidebars and header. I think I'm in over my head here.

Have you asked for help over on the Wordpress forum?

The 404 error is probably because of how your permalinks are setup. One of the combinations fucks up the pages from working. The sidebar has to be edited out of page.php, not much else to say there.

Download the google sitmaps plugin for wordpress, it works great.

What I have done in the past is this:

Copy the index.php from the theme you are using and rename it

Stick this at the top of the code

Code:

<?php
/*
Template Name: your_page_name
*/
?>

Edit that page to the layout you want, in your case removing the sidebar call.

Save and upload.

Now, in WP, go to Write > Write Page, and you can then select your new 'your_page_name' template from Page Template on the sidebar.
