Sidebar width

Recommended Posts

kswaters

Hi. I'm new to PageLinesPro and am in the process of moving my blog from Blogger to Wordpress. I would like to change the sidebar width on all pages to accommodate a 336 wide ad position. I saw a similar entry in this forum but the css code just moved everything to the left and didn't make the sidebar any wider. I'd be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction. My site is www.allaboutagile.com and you can see the ad in the sidebar is chopped off. Many thanks Kelly.

Hey Kelly - I played around with the dimensions, so you may need to double check them. But, something like this should work:

#pagelines_content #sidebar1{width:336px !important;float:left !important;}
	#pagelines_content #column-main, #pagelines_content #column-wrap{width:640px !important;}

Hi Kate, thanks for trying to help me, but unfortunately this doesn't seem to work for me. I'm using the PlatformPro template and In my Layout Editor settings, I've the global content width is set to 960, main content width to 640 and sidebar1 width to 320, but unfortunately the dimensions aren't editable. When I go into the template setup, the sidebar1 area says the css selector for the container width is #sidebar_primary. I tried changing your code to that and that didn't seem to work either. Any other suggestions? Kelly.

Hey Kelly, Are you able to edit the dimensions through drag/drop? What do you mean they aren't editable? On another note, I'm already a fan of your site as Agile development is something we're trying to leverage internally :)

Hi Andrew. I can drag the width of the site but the main content is the bit that stretches and the sidebar width remains the same. I don't seem to be able to drag the sidebar section - should I be able to? (maybe I'm just not trying hard enough!). The width fields on that screen are disabled. Thanks for following my site - hope it helps you out! Kelly.

@Kelly Hmmm... I actually had tried that CSS before I posted it and it worked fine. Strange. Well, under "Settings->Layout Editor" you can change the dimensions as well... probably should've pointed there first! I believe that's what Andrew is referring to. Have you tried that?

Hi Kate & Andrew. Would you believe it, it turns out I'm just being thick! Which given my job is actually a bit embarrassing :( Turns out I just needed to grab the left side of the sidebar box and I can resize it in the Layout Editor. Many thanks to you both for helping me out... Kelly.
