Adjust sidebar width

Manov2k, did you ever manage to get an answer for this? I am having the same problem.

Thanks
Tash

No, I have stopped using this theme.

Customizr is not easily customizable even for advanced WP users like me

It’s not so much Customizr, but responsive themes based on the twitter bootstrap, which work on percentages not pixels. Digging into the code would allow you to change Customizr’s use of the bootstrap grid which would give you a choice of 2/3 + 1/3; 3/4 + 1/4; 5/6 + 1/6; or 11/12 + 1/12.

But dealing in pixels is not the right way to go with a responsive theme. A sidebar of 350px is already bigger than an iPhone screen, for example, and would force horizontal scrolling.

Thank you both for the replies.

ElectricFeet, I understand the situation with the percentages but I guess my knowledge is just not good enough to actually make the changes.

My big problem is I can’t seem to adjust the width of the site. I either need to make the whole site more narrow to accommodate a smaller slider or I need to move the slider to the left and add a sidebar with a calendar widget to the right.

Thank you so much for the help so far!

I feel like an idiot! I was obviously not thinking straight late last night. I just completely disabled the slider from the default homepage and added it to my custom homepage with a sidebar. Still don’t know how to make the site more narrow but this solution works for now.

Ah! That’s how you did it. Thanks!

Smacks forehead!
That was such an obvious thing!

Thanks for the solution to something that’s been bugging me for aaaaaaaaaaaages! ??

@tasha how you moved the sidebar to the top, it always shows after the slider and feature pages

Sorry for my very late reply! What you need to do – is:

Move this code in your custom template:
do_action( ‘__fp_block’ );
to just above the footer call, so just before:
get_footer();

Hope that helps.

I apologize for stepping in on this thread but I’m trying to find the same solution… extending the sidebar to the top of the page. Is there a way to do this by modifying the Custom CSS (without having to disable the default homepage and create a new one?)

Not as far as I know but if you start a new thread (I think this one is marked as resolved so they won’t look at it) someone with more experience might be able to help.
