Hide Confluence sidebar default theme

[Chris Ewe]

Hi,

is it possible to hide the sidebar in the defult theme?

With the documentation theme it's possible hide it.

Hello.

I'm not familiar with CSS, but I've just modified my personal space style with Confluence default theme (not Documentation theme).

It seems sidebar is hidden.

I hope this would be any help...

div.theme-default .ia-splitter #main {
    margin-left: 0px;
}
.ia-fixed-sidebar, .ia-splitter-left {
    display: none;
}
div#main {
    margin-left: 0px !important;
}
div#footer {
  margin-left: 0px !important;
}

This works for Confluence 6.3 also.

You can use the HTML macro and some CSS to hide it. You'll need to use an inspector to suss what is appropriate for your version of Confluence. For example, in 5.1:

<style>

#splitter-sidebar {
	width:0 !important;
}

#splitter-button,  
#splitter .vsplitbar {
 	display:none !important;
}

</style>

Works like a charm! Thanks!

it worked for me too. Thanks

This too works like a charm: 

div#full-height-container div.ia-splitter .ia-fixed-sidebar {display: none !important;visibility:hidden !important;}

This works for 5.4 at least... maybe more - my admins just gave me this one and it works to get rid of the sidebar when you add it to your stylesheet.

div#splitter-sidebar {display: none;visibility:hidden;}

Copy the address of the Space Administration page first and save it somewhere you can access it whenever you want since you're going to be hiding the Space Tool button permanently.

Push the "[" key to minimize the sidebar. I recommend you don't totally remove the sidebar as it'll remove your Space Tools link.

You can use jQuery and add CSS to the space or site wide to set the sidebar to it's minimized state.

Or if you're really set on removing the sidebar

[Manuela Raschke]

We would like to do just that - minimize the sidebar when opening a certain space. How can I do that?

Hi Chris,

Can you clarify which version of Confluence you're asking about? I'm assuming 5.1.x but I don't want to assume.... I'm sure you know the saying...
