Greetings,

Is it possible having no sidebar as default starting interface when a user logs in initially.

Thank you! Tony

You can set the Navigation Menu to Header Dropdown mode in Site Settings.

In this topic [Can I default to a hidden sidebar?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-i-default-to-a-hidden-sidebar/252984/) a theme component was shared that closes the sidebar by default. It was created 2 years ago and I don’t use it myself, so I am not 💯 sure that it still works but I assume so.

Hi @Tony001 if @moin answered your question, can you mark Moin’s post as the solution? It’s the box with the checkmark in it, on the post menu.
