WIden sidebar/widget area

  • Hi,

    I need to widen my widget area. Right now under my “Visit TM Sponsors” link, it fits 2 150×150 ads RIGHT next to each so that they are touching. If I add even 1 px space, it bumps it to the next link. How can I increase my sidebar/widget area by, say, 10 px?

    Note: I tried changing the “width” value in the “.widget-area” container in my child theme from 300 to 310, but that didn’t do anything.

    This is my site: https://tacklingmommyhood.com

  • If you increase the width of only one of two side by side divs in CSS, you would most presumably also need to decease the other.

    In order to widen the sidebar, you’ll need to narrow the site-content area, even if it’s just by a tiny bit. The sum of all the components cannot be wider than the total width. You have to account for borders and padding and margins content-area, sidebar and all that good stuff.
    So if you reduce the site-content to 65% or thereabouts you can increase the width of the sidebar.
    Hope that makes sense to you.

    Rebecka, thanks!!!!!!! I ended up changing everything to percentages instead of fixed px values, and it worked!!!!!
