Template Options is only present in Pages, not Posts. This is WordPress System, not controlled by Themes !
Can I Disable the Sidebar from NewsPress Theme ? The Answer is YES
Most of our Themes have Layout Options like Full Width, Content+Right Sidebar and Left Sidebar + Content which can be selected from the Theme Options. But NewsPress doesn’t have that option. We didn’t provide it at NewsPress because NewsPress is a special Theme for News Sites. All News Sites should have a sidebar to show popular news, advertisements etc. But, some of our users still want to disable the Sidebar. For Pages you can do it easily selecting the Full Width Template. All of our Themes have Full Width Template for Pages. ( Please remember that Template is not present for Posts by WordPress System )
You can easily Remove the default WidGets from WP-Admin > Appearance > WidGets putting any WidGets from the available items. The Front Page Sidebar and News Page Sidebar should not be left blank until you completely disable the Sidebar. This is a technique which can be used in all of our Themes following This Tutorial.
If you want to hide the Sidebar from Front Page you can paste the Following in the WP-Admin > Appearance > NewsPress Options > Custom Code within Head Area for Front Page Box
<style>#right-sidebar { display: none; } #content { width: auto; }</style>
If you want to hide the Sidebar from Single Page News you can paste the Following in the WP-Admin > Appearance > NewsPress Options > Custom Code within Head Area for Single Page News Box

If you want to hide the Sidebar from Single Page Video News you can paste the Following in the WP-Admin > Appearance > NewsPress Options > Custom Code within Head Area for Video News Box
