    I am trying to put 300 height x 250 add into the sidebar widget of my woostore site. This is not a live site as its still just being built.
    In the styles.css file it says the sidebar size is 250, the add is 250. But yet the add strectches outside of the widget box. have a look at https://woowaternew.sh0p.co.uk
    I have no idea why this is happening. because I have another site built with the same theme and this is not happening.
    Thanks in advance.
    Andy

    I’m a bit of a novice with making changes to css. I need clear instructions telling me what is actualy wrong. All I could tell you right now is there is a setting wrong somewhere. If you could tell me what you think is wrong and what css file I need to change, I can give it a shot. Thanks

    Hi,
    Actually, If you can see, AD size is more then 300px. Take backup of style.css of active theme and remove the following code from line 434.

    #sidebar .primary {
    margin-left: 25px;
    }

    What difference you feel?

    Thanks

    @offshorewebdev – what happens to that change when the theme is updated?

    Yes this is important question. you can search guide for child theme. Child theme is just an extra css file. Add the following line to avoide overloading of style in child theme css

    #sidebar .primary {
    margin-left: 0;
    }

    When theme updated nothing will update in child css.

    Thanks

    @cd650 – do not modify theme files – as your changes will be lost when the theme is updated. Make any changes in custom CSS or a child theme.

    You may want to ask WooThemes for help with this – don’t they provide support for their commercial themes?
