How can I hide the sidebar in individual posts? Per the theme documentation the default layout settings can be over-ridden for individual pages but I do not see that as a possibility for individual posts. The only think I can change is choose a post format, which doesn’t affect the sidebars at all.

Thanks.

I would like to know how to do this as well, but after searching around it seems like the only way to do so is to download a plugin like Widget Logic or Dynamic Widgets.

I just discovered how to do this…

Appearance –> Tempera Settings –> Layout settings

If you set Main Layout to 1 column no sidebars, your posts will not have any sidebars.

You will have to manually go back into each of your pages and choose which template style you want (which pages have bars on the sides).

Thanks for the suggestion, Walt, but the issue is that I would like to hide it in some posts but not all of them. The problem lies in the fact that Cryout Creations, despite doing a really great job on this theme, put a right sidebar in the post template by default, so there is no way to hide it except through the layout options, as you say. This is a problem that should be rectified, but I fear that CC’s developers are not monitoring this forum or paying attention to feedback from anyone who hasn’t paid the $25 for “Premium Support”. That’s unfortunate, especially since I would happily pay the $25 if they didn’t claim the fall-back position that they won’t help with any coding because that’s “Custom Work.” Really? Why would I pay $25.00 just to learn what I can learn here?

I guess the best option for now is to use a plugin and design a simple default sidebar that I can use on all my posts unless I want to specify something else. Meanwhile, I hope that Cryout will fix this issue in new versions..it should be very easy to do.
