BuddyPress.org

Hey guys, I’m looking remove the sidebar on a few pages of Buddypress and I’m having a difficult time. I’m currently using the “Catch-box” wordpress theme.

For instance, say I wanted the specific member pages NOT to have a sidebar. What I’m currently doing is modifying the Catch-Box-Directory/buddypress/members/index.php and Catch-Box-Directory/buddypress/members/single/home.php files to exclude the “<?php get_sidebar( ‘buddypress’ ); ?>” code.

While that does, in fact, get rid of the sidebar, it also dramatically messes with the page formatting. My question is, what am I missing? Is there an easier way to go about fixing this?

I did a forum search and found that @mercime did a post (http://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-fixing-alignment-problems-on-pages-using-buddypress-catch-box-themecath/#post-140906) to make the catch-box theme compatible with BuddyPress. I believe the solution to my problem could lie within this post however I was wondering if I am reading this post right. From what it looks like I’m supposed to replace a couple of dots with another couple of dots..? Is that correct? Did the forum delete the code from the post or am I missing something?

I any case I would truly appreciate any guidance or direction. I’m feeling a little crushed at the moment as I’ve spent probably 6+ hours trying to do a seemingly easy task. I just want a few select buddypress pages (like the register page and the member’s pages) to not have a sidebar.
