]]> If you find yourself making a new WordPress template for pages that are identical to others on your site but just don’t have a sidebar, consider this technique instead which lets you turn the sidebar off selectively on a page by page basis.

Add this to functions.php

<?php // look to see if we've disabled sidebar in a custom field, if not show it
	$disableSidebar = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'disableSidebar', $single = true);
	if ($disableSidebar !== 'true') { get_sidebar(); }
?>

index.php, page.php … etc.

Next find the file that has the sidebar in it. If you want this to work on all blog posts, it’s probably single.php, or if you add it to index.php and/or page.php it’ll work on other types of pages. Once you find your sidebar you need to put a bit of code before it and a bit of code after it. In the beginning bit looks to see if the custom field is set on your page, the second bit is just the end of the ‘if’ statement

<!--BEGIN: sidebar~main-->
<?php // to disable this sidebar on a page by page basis just add a custom field to your page or post of disableSidebar = true
$disableSidebar = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'disableSidebar', $single = true);
if ($disableSidebar !== 'true'): ?>

<!--BEGIN: my sidebar, yours may look a little different-->
<aside id="sidebar-main">
	<h1>Main Sidebar</h1>
	<?php dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-main'); ?>
</aside>
<!--END: my sidebar-->

<?php endif; ?>
<!--END: sidebar~main-->

what it does

It checks to see if you have a custom field set in your post to disable the sidebar and if you do it turns off the sidebar

how to use it

Just make a new custom field for your page called disableSidebar and set it to true. That’s it.

]]> It took us a long time to perfect this gorgeous body tag, it includes everything you’d want as a front end developer, it inserts the name of the page you’re on into the class attribute, it adds the pages parent as the id, works on home, 404, search, tag, and category pages as well.

NOTE: we’ve updated the code to also show what template you’re using, so if you have an old version, grab it again below

NOTE: In order for this to work you’ll need to set your permalink structure to something that uses post names in the urls instead of numbers. You set that in Settings > Permalinks. We suggest /%postname%/

So without further ado, here’s it is:

<body
	id="
		<?php
		$post_parent = get_post($post->post_parent);
		$parentSlug = $post_parent->post_name;
		if (is_category()) { echo "CategoryPage"; }
		elseif (is_search()) { echo "SearchResults"; }
		elseif (is_tag()) { echo "Tag"; }
		else { echo $parentSlug; }
		?>"
	class="
		<?php global $wp_query;
		$template_name = get_post_meta( $wp_query->post->ID, '_wp_page_template', true );
		$tn = str_replace(".php", "", $template_name); echo "template-".$tn." "; ?>
		<?php
		if (is_category()) { echo 'category'; }
		elseif (is_search()) { echo 'search'; }
		elseif (is_tag()) { echo "tag"; }
		elseif (is_home()) { echo "home"; }
		elseif (is_404()) { echo "page404"; }
		else { echo $post->post_name; }
		?>"
>

Also here’s a more compact version (less readable but still works the same) if you want to save space in your template and don’t think you’ll be editing the code. You should probably just use this one:

<body id="<?php $post_parent = get_post($post->post_parent); $parentSlug = $post_parent->post_name; if (is_category()) { echo "category-template"; } elseif (is_archive()) { echo "archive-template"; } elseif (is_search()) { echo "search-results"; } elseif (is_tag()) { echo "tag-template"; } else { echo $parentSlug; } ?>" class="<?php global $wp_query; $template_name = get_post_meta( $wp_query->post->ID, '_wp_page_template', true ); $tn = str_replace(".php", "", $template_name); echo "template-".$tn." "; if (is_category()) { echo 'category'; } elseif (is_search()) { echo 'search'; } elseif (is_tag()) { echo "tag"; } elseif (is_home()) { echo "home"; } elseif (is_404()) { echo "page404"; } else { echo $post->post_name; } ?>">
