Disabling columns for specific pages

Ok, I’m in this stage when I spend more time configuring and getting the website layout right than actually working on any projects or writing posts. I’ve never used WordPress before, so these posts tagged “WordPress” are more for myself to either implement something or as a reminder in case I need to tweak some settings.

So far I’ve only installed few themes, and basic plugins, mostly to get stuff like Google Ads and Analytics working, nothing too spectacular.

I was playing with Google search and got an idea of replacing the default WordPress search with GoogleSearch. There’s one issue though, I have two options:

• Redirect users to Google page, which isn’t ideal, I want them stay
• Display search results on my website

I opted for the second option, however it poses few issues – I have 2 column layout (and will possibly add 3rd one at some stage). Google results are best displayed in a single column view (debatable, but that’s my taste at the moment, which may change in the future).

So, how do I make specific pages single column? After some Googling I’ve come across this post, which seems to work fine for me.
