Yesterday you learned some of the advantages and disadvantages of advertising copy in WordPress. Today is going to cover some solutions to the sidebars and menus.
Does your theme have templates?
Many WordPress themes have various templates. If you are writing a page in WordPress you can look for Page Attributes. This is to the right of your writing if you have two columns or underneath if you have just one. In this box you hopefully will see parent and then template. Unfortunately not all themes offer various templates. The template will have a name sometimes it will tell you archive, no side bar, clean or something similar.
Template Testing
Unfortunately previous does not always show various templates. If you do not want it going live, go to the publish button and change Visibility to private then publish. Then you can see if that template is going to fit your needs.
Theme Options
Some themes have special page options. You can look for a box with the theme name and options on your page. There you can turn off the sidebar or navigation menu.
Make Your Own Template
You can learn coding to create your own template. It really does not take much, if you like your theme you just create a copy of your sales page and remove the sidebar and header information. Since this information varies so much there is no simple explanation of it. I have created templates and now I would rather BUY MINE
Buy Your Own
This is what I did. You can see the package I got (he’s since updated it with new templates) by visiting WP landing pages. Tomorrow I will have a video for you on how to load it and set it up.

You have picked a great choice for WP Landing Pages templates. I have used them and love them. Jason puts out nice products.
Oh, thank goodness you're going to do a video, MJ! I'm really grateful for that because I have never used WP sales page templates before and I'm clueless when it comes to how to set them up. FTP? What's that? (just so you know where my knowledge level begins)
You're about to become my hero!Thanks,Melanie
Your video is being filmed currently
(actually on a break because of internet troubles)
The package I bought has completely different templates, but they are all great!. Should have a video uploaded this afternoon. ~ MJ
Whoo-Hoo! Please keep me in the loop, MJ. Can't wait to see your video — I promise I'll study it carefully, probably watch it a half a dozen times, and I'll give you some feedback afterward.I'm really sorry to hear you've been experiencing some internet problems.
That's frustrating at best.
Melanie,It is live and on my blog now. With one part explained in greater detail on the blog. ~ MJ Schrader
