Boxes same width as content in 2 column design

[betaner 0]

Hello, I am trying to setup box set with same width as the content area. I am using two column design. So far the box set appears at the bottom in full width. Can I change this? Best regards Thomas

Hi Thomas, The boxes are in a div with the id "boxes". You could try modifying the width via CSS with that. If you require further assistance, please post a link to your site.

Hello, I'm trying to do the same, box set 610 px. and a sidebar next to it on this page: http://cookfreshfood-productions.com/wordpress/videorecepten/voorgerechten-php Found this on your forum by rangelone and it works for the feature slider, tried to replace #feature-slider with #boxes and #box-sets but doesn't work. 4. Go to PlatformPro settings > Custom Code and the Custom CSS area. 5. Add and edit to the applicable width and height the following code: #feature_slider div.default-features {width: 630px;} #feature-area {width: XXXpx} .home #feature-footer {width: XXXpx;} .home #feature_slider{width:XXXpx;} .home #feature-area, .feature-wrap {width: XXXpx;} .home #feature-footer {width: XXXpx;} .home #sidebar-wrap{margin-top:-YYYpx;} Hope you can help! thanks, Debby

Debby... My site is also a food site. Very nice! Don't use #boxes or #box-sets. Try replacing #feature with #dcol whereever it appears in my example and let me know if it works for you.

Rangelone, thanks but didn't work. Start to wonder whether using the boxes & box-sets is the best solution for these pages. Rather use the content area so then I can have exactly the same lay-out on all pages. Did not find any other good solution yet though... And saw your site, nice!

Thanks! There are gallery scripts that will place a title below the image, and Mini Loops (not sure about that one) and a variety of other means of posting content in a grid pattern. Try this http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/divup-content/

Looks good, gonna try it and will let you know if it works for us. Have a nice weekend and thanks a lot!!

No problem. Stay well while I float away in the hurricane.

Hi Rangelone, Tried the divup-content, did not work the way we wanted but you got us in the right direction, thanks! Working with Genesis Multiple Column Content Classes now and that seems to work good, colums show up perfect in all browsers except (ofcourse) in IE6 and IE7. Pfff why do people still use that? Hope you got all right through the hurricane.

Came through the hurricane with no problems. Lights dimmed a few times but no damage. Thanks for asking. People who want to build a magazine style front page with boxes of content, or who want to structure their pages with more flexibility than the loop provides use plugins like DivUp. Table creation in Wordpress is difficult and as my daughter would say - "so 1995!"

Hi Rangelone, Still working with the Genesis column div plugin and it works, thanks again for the tip! Another question. Saw you got this nice Google leaderboard ad in the header on Epicurus.com, how did you get that in there? (BTW, countdown to 15 years online, that's quite something!)

I'm quite certain rangelone used a hook to implement his Google leaderboard. :)

Catrina is correct. I simply followed the instructions in our Docs section, and with a little testing, was able to tweak it to the right configuration. It wasn't difficult. http://www.pagelines.com/docs/base-child-theme
