Want to customise your ecommerce website? Here is a tutorial showing you how to remove the sidebar from the Woocommerce shop pages.

Who doesn’t want the option of removing unwanted sidebars? Genesis Framework child themes make it easy to remove the sidebar from Woocommerce shop pages. These child themes come with built-in layout options. The default layout for the site can be set in the WordPress dashboard > Genesis > Theme Settings. There is also the option of making the layout full width for the whole site, removing the sidebar from all pages in your website.

The beauty of Genesis is that you can also set the layout on a page by page basis. This means with Genesis Themes, it is easy to remove the sidebar from woocommerce site pages while having a sidebar on other pages.
