Need Help Removing Sidebar

   I was able to successfully get bbPress installed: http://brewreview.com/forums but it's pulling in the sidebar from my blog. Inside of a topic, it then pushes the sidebar down below the forum: http://brewreview.com/forum/general/beer-talk. Is there an easy way to just remove the sidebar?

   i'm trying to do the same thing right now. looks like you're going to have to search through each PHP file in the bbPress theme and remove the following code:

   <?php get_sidebar)(); ?>

   it's the only way that i can think of... which is neither fast nor easy. :(

   as a quick addendum, i didn't actually delete the code. i just commented out the PHP contents, like so:

   <?php //get_sidebar(); ?>

   that was if something changes and i still need the sidebar, i'll know where they all were to begin with. :)

   WR!

   It's also worth noting that you need to make sure and create your own bbP theme if you are going to modify it.

   If you edit the core theme that is inside the bbPress plugin directory you will lose all your customizations next time you update.

   having accomplished this, see if you can figure out how to have the content expand to full width ONLY in the forum... lol.
