Unregister sidebar widget in single page

[wizz6113]

How do I unregister the default primary sidebar widget on single pages? I have installed the Genesis Simple Sidebars plugin, which is helping register bespoke widgets per page, but I simply want no widgets at all (but retaining sidebar space for the future) on some pages like this one:

How do I go about it? In the simple hooks plug-in or hard code? I am using Outreach Pro.

Thanks!

unregister the default primary sidebar widget on single pages

You mean remove the primary sidebar from single pages?

Yes, Brad, that's what I mean - simply to not have that default black box and text showing up. If I put a blank text widget in a bespoke widget created using Simple Sidebar plugin, I still get a empty black box. I just need white space there!

Tnx!

I would hide it using CSS.

Otherwise, you can create a template for single pages using the WordPress Template Hierarchy http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy

and add the remove action for the primary sidebar

The other option is to conditionally remove the sidebar using a custom function.

Where is the black box? Please link to it.

Brad, thanks for this.

The 'black box' is basically the widget box (in my theme coloured black as background) which shows either the default primary sidebar prompt or a content-empty box when I tried my (failed) workaround of creating an empty text box for a new widget using simple sidebars plugin. As per this eg: http://wpreneur.com/iicss/about-iicss/fellows/

If I opt to remove the hook for the sidebar how and where can I do it for single pages / posts? I have the Simple Hooks plug in installed.

In CSS, I have no idea where to attempt to hide some page (or post) IDs to get it removed on single pages / posts only. Any quick links or idea to help?

Tnx for all!

I don't see any black box except for the footer. http://wpsites.net/web-design/genesis-3-ways-to-remove-the-primary-sidebar-from-single-pages/

Thanks Brad, it's the black default widget background in the right sidebar, but not to worry. It now seems I simply need to remove the primary sidebar widget altogether, on all pages, not single ones, so perhaps that makes life easier?

I'll go see your link above to see if that helps.

Cheers,

HI Brad, very simple solution to my issue - as it's not now custom sidebar per page / post but remove altogether; I just chose a different page template for each page to suit!

Feel really silly not thinking of that earlier. But your info v useful for a future job I need to do on another site. Thanks so much.
