    I don't see the drop down for choosing the new template.
  • My theme did not contain the line that needs to be removed so what I did was merely change the size parameters from within the settings page in my dashboard till it fit my page just right. Works great! I use the Visionary WP theme and wp 2.8.4.

    Thank you for sharing your tweak. :)
  • No problem, this is a must have plugin for Wordpress if you ask me.;)
  • good way but i have one doubt I missed it or you forgot to wrote that if this method is used user will not be having access to the sidebar in any ways on that particular page to which this theme is applied.
