Reply To: disable Sidebar

i managed to have the index full width by making my own page with the forum shortcode and page set using full width layout. but once i click anywhere on the forum (go to a section, thread) the sidebar re appears.

That’s because it’s going back to the bbpress.php which isn’t working for you.

try replacing

if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

                /**

                 * Find the post formatting for the pages in the post-page.php file

                 */

                get_template_part('post', 'page');



                if(comments_open( get_the_ID() ))  {

                    comments_template('', true);

                }

            endwhile;

with

while( have_posts() ): the_post();

	 the_content();

 endwhile;

in your bbpress.php file
