Buttercream with Right sidebar

Awesome. That’s exactly what I was looking for.

However, I just downloaded and installed it and the sidebar isn’t showing. Do I activate it somewhere?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Shelley,

In the admin, Please go to Appearance -> Widgets.

There you can add widget items to the “Right Side Bar”.

Hope this helps.

Thank you,

Hi vijayrajesh,

Thanks for your message. I have the widgets in the right side bar. Here’s a screen shot of my settings: https://www.lettersets.com/example1.jpg

However, the widgets are showing up at the bottom of the centre column as shown here and there is no sidebar: https://www.lettersets.com/example2.jpg

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks for your assistance. I really like the preview of the edited version you made and I hope I will be able to get it to function correctly.

Support stays on the forum, thanks.

vijayrajesh above really helped me with getting this right – thank you for your quick and effecicient help – will recommend you!

For other people trying to implement the edited buttercream theme with a sidebar and to make it function in IE7 and lower, edit the ie.css file in the layouts folder to the following:

#masthead hgroup {
	width: 960px;
}
.main-navigation,
#main,
#content {
	width: 960px;
}

#content
	{
		width:650px;
		float:left;
	}
.navbar {
	border-top: 2px solid #422619;
	position: fixed;
}
#main,
#masthead hgroup {
	border-left: 4px solid #ede9ce;
	border-right: 4px solid #ede9ce;
}
#header-menu {
	width: 75%;
}
#header-menu ul.menu {
	float: left;
}
#header-menu ul.menu ul li {
	width: 120px;
}
#header-menu ul.menu li:hover > ul {
	visibility: visible;
}
h1.site-title a {
	font-size: 100%;
}
.post-date {
	right: -32px;
}
a.post-edit-link,
a.comment-edit-link,
.search .page a.post-edit-link {
	margin-right: -17px;
}
#header-image {
	margin: 30px auto -60px auto;
	display: block;
	z-index: 100;
	position: relative;
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	width: 850px;
	height: 265px;
}
#header-imagesm {
	display: none;
}
.bluebar {
	display: none;
}
.entry-content img {
	max-width: 560px;
}
.sidebars {
	width: 600px;
	margin-top: 30px;
}
.widget-area {
	width: 33%;
	display: table-cell;
}
#sidebar-1 {
	border-right: 1px dotted #82573f;
}
#sidebar-2 {
	border-right: 1px dotted #82573f;
}
#sidebar-3 {
	margin-right: 0px !important;
}
ul.commentlist > li.comment > ul.children,
ol.commentlist > li.comment > ul.children {
	padding-left: 180px;
}
li.pingback p,
li.trackback p {
	width: 390px;
}

You are welcome Shelley. I am glad I could help you completely.

This is great. Is there any way to get it on the left side?

I was wondering the same thing, but my sidebar option in widgets are 1st, second and 3rd for the bottom not the right sidebar. I have no option for this.

How do I get this to work?

Many Thanks

Andy

Are you using this theme? If so, please start a new thread in this theme’s forum. If not, please post in your theme’s forum.

Sorry. yes I am.
I’ve sussed it now.
Please accept my apologies!!

Is it possible to modify the original theme in child themes to achieve a right hand sidebar. This would ensure all future updates in the theme could be used.
