Why are you adding an EXTRA STEP for your customers?

Consider:

Your site takes 3 clicks to get to a product

Your competitor's site takes 2 clicks to get to a product.

Your competitor's site is 33% MORE EFFICIENT than yours.

I have spent nearly 10 years in e-commerce... ADDING extra steps is something I would never do. Striving to REMOVE steps is what should be your goal.

Yes
I 100% agree with you. But I have few pages which requires full space of page and if I don't remove this box then I am not getting that space.

Do you want to hide the entire COLUMN (left and/or right)?

If so then you do this by specifying the said pages in tpl_main_page.php .

Alternatively, you can try using a page specific stylesheet...

... try creating one called myNewPage.css

And adding {display:none} declarations for any DIVS you don't want to appear.

Hi Schoolboy

I already created myNewPage.css but not exactly know where to modify in that file, and can you please give some detail for tpl_main_page.php

Thanx
