[Support request] How to make comments section full width?

[wordpressuser13]

I want the “sidebar” to end by the time users scroll down to the comments section. There is no point to continue having the sidebar showing during the comments. Instead, I want the comments to become full width. What PHP/CSS do I have to add to manage this?

Note: I am not using blocks and prefer not to.

Hi there,

Hi,

I added the code – it kind of did it, but the problem is the comments section is now completely full-width (touching the sides of the screen) with no padding around it at all. How can I contain it, same as the footer is contained?

Also wondering, is there a code that I can use to make the comment section a “hook” in generatepress? They can attach the “hook” above the footer

To add paddings, try adding this CSS:

.comments-area {
    padding-left: 40px;
    padding-right: 40px;
}

Also wondering, is there a code that I can use to make the comment section a “hook” in generatepress? They can attach the “hook” above the footer

Not sure what this means, the PHP snippet you are using now is adding the comment to the above footer area.
