Removing sidebar for Single Blog Posts Categorized as "Testimonials"

[alethamcmanama]

For single blog posts categorized as "Testimonials", the client wants the sidebar to be removed. How do I go about doing this specific for just this category?

For example, here is a single blog post (a testimonial) that has the sidebar with Recent Posts and a text widget called, "Click here for..". Need to remove the sidebar for these.

Possibly force full width content if single view and in Testimonials category

add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', 'child_maybe_full_width_content' );
function child_maybe_full_width_content( $opt ) {
    if ( is_single() && in_category( 'Testimonials' ) ) {
        $opt = 'full-width-content';
        return $opt;
    }
}

Or, conditionally remove sidebar without forcing full width layout. e.g.

add_action( 'get_header', 'child_maybe_remove_sidebar' );
function child_maybe_remove_sidebar() {
	if ( is_single() && in_category( 'Testimonials' ) ) { 
		remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'ss_do_sidebar' );
		remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar' );
	}
}

Thanks, Graham! I went with the full width content filter above. Worked like a charm!

Thanks again for your help.
