How do I resize center column when left and/or right sidebars are disabled?

[dmm2020]

From the admin page look under the 'Configuration' tab then scroll down and click the 'Layout Settings' button.

In the 'layout settings' page look down and you can control your right and left columns there with 'Column Right Status - Global' and 'Column Left Status- Global'. When the column are turned off here then they allow the 'Center Column' to take up that space.

THis will not work because those settings are GLOBAL. I do not want the side columns turned off globally at all.

The problem is as you see in my prior post, when I turn off the left and/or right columns the center column does not resize automatically, least not with wordpress.

From what I have learned is that they are either 'on' or 'off' globally. You can have pages with nothing in the column but the column will still be there. This fixes your column alignment issue in stylesheeet.css

.outer {
    padding-left: 197px; /* Same width as margin-left for the float-wrap div */
    padding-right: 182px; /* Our right column width */
}
.inner {
    width: 100%;
}
.float-wrap {
    float: left;
    width: 97%;
    margin-left: -197px; /* Same length as .outer padding-left but with negative value */
}
#content {
    float: right;
    margin-right: -197px; /* Same length as .outer padding-left but with negative value */
    width: 100%;
    line-height:1.6;
    position: relative; /* IE needs this  */
}
.contentWrap {
    padding: 5px 0 5px 5px;
}
#navColumnOne {
    float: left;
    position: relative; /* IE needs this  */
}
#navColumnTwo {
    float: right;
    margin-right: -182px; /* This negative margin-right value is in this example the same as the right column width. */
    position: relative; /* IE needs this  */
}
* html #navColumnTwo {
    margin-right: -202px !important; /* Fixes IE6 Issue */
}
/* end wrappers - page or section containers*/

Post in the Cherry_Zen template thread and see if there is a solution to get the center box to expand in the absence of a sidebox. The link is here:
