Template Okto does not have this functionality built-in. So you have to modify the template to do so. This means that you have to also modify the CSS.
Your question (BTW too generic) can not be fully answered on this this forum because it depends on many factors.
I can only provide you a clue.

You need to add an if statement on your template's index.php file.

Code: [Select]

if condition is true then
       show column
else
     dont show column
for instance dont display column on component eforum:

if ($option != 'com_eforum') {
   echo '<div>column contents here</div>';
} else {
  //nothing
}
