    I am using the revolution church theme, because the revolution 1 theme is no longer available.

    Can some one help me with this. At the revolution demo the home page looks like this http://www.revolutiontheme.com/demo/

    I want my site to have the pages without all the sidebars and stuff, just like that demo. Then the blog page has all the sidebars and stuff, just like the blog page in the demo above.

    How do I do this?

    First it looks like you are using one theme, but want it to look like another. The example you show is not Revolution Church, which is what you are using. Correct ?

    Anyway....

    To change your home page to a static page (that is not the blog page) under your dashboard go to Settings->Reading. From there you can set your home page to be what ever page you want it to be, and set your blog page to be what ever you want it to be.

    As far as changing the page template to remove the side bars, you will need to create a .php file and change the code to remove the sidebars and install it into the theme files, then use that template when you create the new page.

    Open your text editor like Notepad or something and create a file called "something". php.

    In that file try this code :
    Save It.

    Now take that file and place it in the theme files, not the root !

    Now create the new page...in the option for the page template, your new page template should show up in the drop down menu, just as you named it.
    Chose it for your template. Save your page.

    Or you could just use the template that you are trying to re create. That would be easier.

    That should work.
