REmove sidebar vs post author widget

[David]

Hi,
Things are starting to shape up on my final site, and BuddyBoss is looking good. What a relief after trying various themes and several months worth of work. I’m trying to figure out some changes to the way posts appear on the site. I’m using Gravity Forms to allow members to create posts containing images into an online gallery (blog grid). I’m also using MotoPress Content Editor plugin to achieve the grid look that I want. However, the sidebar on these posts is problematic for me. I’ve removed the widgets from the right sidebar, but that still leaves a big chunk of unused real estate. I’m wondering if there is a widget or some other method that could display the post author’s name, avatar and profile, along with a link to PM them in the right sidebar?
Alternatively, can I eliminate the sidebar or at least reduce it’s width?

Here’s a screenshot of my testing site to show the area I’m referring to:

Thanks for your help.

@davesharpe you can make the page full width, not sure of any plugins that do what you want but I’m sure they are out there. I’m more familiar with BuddyPress designed plugins these days 🙂

TJ – I see how to make a page full-width, but he trouble is that the default for posts seems to be “right sidebar”. Since the user does not have access to the dashboard and posts are created using Gravity Forms, I need a way to change the default to “full-width”. Is that possible?

As for plugins – I’ve been searching for it, but haven’t tracked it down yet. Will keep looking.

@davesharpe add this code to your custom.css file:

.single-post .site-content{width:100%;}
.single-post .widget-area{display:none;}

That did the trick! Thanks!
