Deleting Existing Sidebars

• 1). Log into your Wordpress account. Navigate towards the Pages section, located on your left toolbar. Click on the "Pages" option under the Pages section.
  
  
• 2). Choose the page you would like to remove the sidebars from. Work on one page at a time and save your work often to make sure nothing gets lost. Click on the Edit button, located in the menu below the selected page.
  
  
• 3). Navigate to the Page Attributes section located on the right side. Under the Template option, in the drop-down menu, choose the "no sidebars" option.
  
  
• 4). Click "Update" to completely remove the sidebars from this specific page. If you need to make more changes to different pages, repeat the steps as many times as desired.
  
  

Create Custom Sidebars

• 1). Find your custom_functions.php file using your FTP. Follow the path "~/wp-content/themes/thesis/custom/," and the file will be located within the Custom folder.
  
  
• 2). Open the file in a code editor program, in a separate window. This will allow you to see both your Wordpress account and the coding at once.
  
  
• 3). Click on your Wordpress window and navigate to the Pages section, located to your left. Click the "Edit" option to start working on one of your preexisting pages.
  
  
• 4). Roll your mouse over the page you would like to work on and click the "Quick Edit" option. Look for the "Slug" that is located under the "Title" option. Copy what is written in the "Slug."
  
  
• 5). Go to your PHP coded window. Paste the slug where it says "Page ID." Save your new code.
  
  
• 6). Open your CSS.php file located in the same folder as your custom_functions.php file. Open your CSS file with the same code editor as before.
  
  
• 7). Go back to your Wordpress window, still working on the same page, click "Edit." Scroll all the way down until you locate the "CSS Class" section. Give this page its custom CSS class name. Make the name the same as your Slug to avoid confusion.
  
  
• 8). Copy the Class Name you have just created in Step 7. Go to your CSS coded window and paste the Class Name where it says "Page ID." Save and update all new codes to the Custom folder, thus creating your custom sidebars.
