The new template gets saved in the same folder as index.php. If you don’t modify it, there will not be any visible change.

In the theme options there is a way to turn off the sidebars for all posts but (at least in the free version) there is no option to do that only on selected posts. You can’t turn off sidebars by creating new templates because the sidebars are not called from within the template.

I have one simple question, where exactly does this new template (Just download the index.php file from Atahualpa and save it as archive.php) actually get saved ?
I have just tried this, but it did nothing, as far as I can tell.

I am attempting to create something where I can select a POST with no left sidebar. The main theme appears to allow PAGES to do that, but POSTS ?

Unfortunately you can’t post code in the comments. I’m not sure what you were trying to accomplish. I have clients who use tables w/ Atahualpa and there are no problems.

Thank you for this post, although it wasn’t directly related to what I was looking for it lit a light bulb and lead to figuring out the problem I had. So in case anyone else is having the same problem, here it is.

I was attempting to get a table formatted by my custom PHP code in the template to look like that formatted by my theme (Atahualpa). To do so all you need to do is two things.

Make sure you have your content wrapped with:

-AND-

Do NOT format the table. Leave it as a plain table without any additional markup and that should get it to work (at least with Atahualpa).

Happy WordPressing!
