    Dear WordPress Experts
    I am using WordPress 3.8 on my webiste (pakistantribune.com.pk) using Jarida WordPress theme. Jarida is a 3 coulmn theme with
    1. Content Area (620 Px)
    2. Narrow Sidebar (160 PX)
    3. Normal Sidebar (300 PX)

    Now I want to remove/Hide Narrow Sidebar (160 PX) in single post pages belonging to "Football Category" to extend the content area width by 160 px.

    How can I do this? I have very little programming skills but if guided can implement pieces of code and tweak. Alternatively, I can provide Theme files is someone can help me out in configuration.

    Jarida is a premium WordPress theme but customizations are not covered under support.

    Regards
    Azhar Nadeem

    You need to use a condition which displays the sidebar only when the current post isn't in category X.

    The code might look like this:

    <?php
if(!in_category('football')){
//use the ID of the category or its slug
?>

<!-- sidebar code which will be displayed if the current post isn't assigned to the category -->

<?php
}
?>
    PHP:

    @Devtard Thank you for the reply. Actually I looked into single.php and sidebar.php...single.php does not call narrow-sidebar separately so i think it will be difficult for me to manipulate this. Actually I want wider content area in couple of posts only. Will it be possible through CSS. If Yes, Can you help with some code
