using sidebars

Hii:
I am trying to change website from a full screen to using sidebars. I can not seem to get to work. Do I need to delete the page and start all over, hope not. I am computer ignorant when it comes to coding.

ps: anyway to send screenshots?
You are using Elementor on that page so the page builder is overwriting the theme's template.
You would need to add the sidebar using Elementor.
Hii Leo:
Things are not working out. I can not get the body to full screen. I have worked with GeneratePress and Elementor all night. If I can not get full screen I will have to go elsewhere. You got any suggestions? https://mobileshalom.com/

Hi there,
the GeneratePress content container is set to Full Width which is correct.
Your content including the sidebar is built with Elementor.
If you want them to be Full Width, then you simply need to set the Sections width and inner width to Full Width.
Its not a theme issue, but how you're using Elementor. If you get really stuck i would suggest speaking to Elementor support.
