K2 Sidebar is a total nightmare – I’m giving up

    I’ve pretty much run out of patience with WordPress altogether and I know it doesn’t help that I’m writing this in such a bad tone. I’m sorry.

    I have K2 installed on my theme, it’s one of the best themes I’ve found, but I just cannot solve this problem with the sidebar.

    All I am trying to do is make my sidebar a bit wider, to fill some more space on its left (it is on the right).

    I have managed to change the width of the whole page, fine.

    I have managed to change the width of the post area to something smaller, fine.

    But when I change the width of the sidebar, instead of filling that white space now on the left of it (as I made the post area smaller) it just falls off to the bottom of the page!

    I have tried every possible thing I can think of and have also read every tutorial I could find. So far, nothing works.

    Please help me before I tear out what little remains of my hair.

    Holy moly, that was fast. Here’s a link: https://eliminarpulgas.com/

    On #primary-wrapper change margin-right:-220px; to margin-right:320px. Before, I’m guessing the sidebar was 200px wide. Since you changed it to 300px, it wasn’t left enough room by the wrapper in order to fit, pushing it off the page. So by adding that extra bit of margin to the main column, you leave enough room for the sidebar.

    EDIT: It works without (in Firefox) but you should also change

    body.columns-two #primary {
margin-right:220px;
}

    to 

    body.columns-two #primary {
margin-right:320px;
}

    to stay consistent.

    Don’t give up on WordPress! ??

    Nice one SpencerFinnel…

    I think you meant to say change it to -320 not 320, but it’s done the trick.

    Thank you so much for helping me solve this…I hope you are rewarded for your work on here?

    Ah yeah, sure enough; good catch!

    No need for a reward! Just glad to see you haven’t given up. ??
