How to Remove the Sidebar on Your WordPress Website

许多WordPress主题都使用默认的侧边栏构建。侧边栏是一个区域，该区域在主内容空间的左侧，右侧或下方显示信息。

Depending on your WordPress website, your sidebar may include social media feeds, recent blog posts, or advertisements. However, sidebars aren’t always necessary for a particular page (or your entire website). Let’s explore how to remove sidebars on yourWordPress网站.

为什么要从WordPress网站上删除侧边栏？

侧边栏是一个宝贵的空间在你的网站上。You can showcase related content to your visitors, like popular ebooks, your latest podcast episodes, or an email sign-up form. Many businesses find the sidebar useful for engaging their potential customers.

But the sidebar isn’t helpful for every website experience. For example, visitors landing on your website on their mobile devices may find it difficult to view your sidebar content due to the reduced screen size. You don’t want your visitors constantly放大智能手机只是与您的网站互动。

如果侧边栏未进行战略性放置，则可以分散访问者的注意力。您不想将访客带到一个永无止境的侧边栏内容的兔子洞，因为它可能会降低转换率。

If you don’t want to remove sidebars from all of your blog posts, you can customize a single post to have no sidebar.
