I am using the default template in Gutenberg.
What do you mean by “default template”?
Your website is using the OceanWP theme, which is not a default theme.
All of the pages I have created using this combination has a phantom sidebar on the right side when viewing in desktop view.
And what exactly are you calling “phantom sidebar”?
The empty space? The OceanWP theme you’re using is simply configured to show a sidebar, but there’s no widget inside the sidebar.
Remember, a “sidebar” is just the area designated to hold stuff. Widgets are the actual stuff that go inside the sidebar. So you have the area designated, but with no stuff in it.
So either:
1) Put widgets inside the sidebar (APPEARANCE => WIDGETS)
2) Configure the theme to NOT show a sidebar (APPEARANCE => CUSTOMIZE => GENERAL SETTINGS => BLOG (for POSTS and ARCHIVES) and GENERAL OPTIONS (for PAGES, etc)
If the above does not work for you, please post in your theme’s form, so the theme’s developer and user community can help you out:
And if you meant something else, please clarify… perhaps with a screenshot.
Standing by.
Thank you, I believe I might have attempted to change the blog settings before. I was able to quickly configure a correction. I think it looks much better.
By “default template” I was referring to the page template option on the edit page screen, sidebar.
Thank you for your assistance. I have been trying to fix that for almost a year.
