WordPress: Site/Page Layout

You can configure your site layout in Appearance > Customize > Site Layout.

On this location, you will find several layout options including:

  • Right Sidebar
  • Left Sidebar
  • No Sidebar

These options apply to the entire site. If you want to hide the layout on specific pages, check the boxes below them. Some of the other options are:

– Hide sidebar on single posts

This setting is specific to your single posts.

This setting refers to your regular pages.

– Hide sidebar on blog pages

This setting is specific for your blog, archives, search results etc.

Different sidebar layouts for individual pages and posts

For some individual pages or posts, you may want to apply a different layout than your global settings. In this case, you can use the Sidebar Layout setting while editing that page/post.

  1. Go to your WordPress dashboard > Posts (or Pages) on the left.
  2. Edit the post or page.
  3. Click on the Sidebar Layout panel from the right column.
  4. Select Left Sidebar, Right Sidebar or No Sidebar.

Other page templates

  • Blank – removes menu, header and footer and shows only the content you add.
  • Full Width Content – the content spans from right to left and takes the full 100% of the screen’s width.
  • No Sidebar, No Title – removes both the sidebar and the page title.

Note: These can be used only on single pages.
