Blank Theme or Blank Page

I am trying to create a blank page so as to ad a form without a theme or any widgets on the page and I find it impossible as I am accustom to downloading and adding themes. I have added a page and disable the themes in WP. But although I did that I still have some widgets lime home, edit, search, powered by WP etc. How do i create a blank page/theme?

    Hello!

    You best bet would be to edit all the css to read transparent, and use a single column template. If you are on a multisite just use the default twenty-eleven theme. with the showcase template and place your form in it.

    I just so happen to have a copy of mostly transparent twenty-eleven themes css.

    You can check it out at http://mtb1701.com if you like tell me what you would want changed and i will advise you on how to do it. Understand that the image you see is only a background the theme its-self is transparent! the images are for a EZ nav option, and will not be in the css for your form.

    or on the finished home page of my site :slight_smile:

    What form are you using, and i will see if i can set it up for you.

    Hello there!

    I’m not 100% sure I follow, but I think you can get there by just using a Full width page template. Your theme should come with one. You can also create a custom full width template from that one, removing the footer or any other items you wish to remove.

    Let me know if you need help with that :slight_smile: There are some good references I can give you from the codex and i can look for a tutorial :slight_smile:

    Thanks everyone’s responses and help. I tried editing the footer css as suggested by MTB1701 above and it worked. But I cant get the header widgets off. The header widgets consists of home, search, and page title. It is php. But I will have a go at it again.
