    Hello All,
    Newbie here and need some help with a really basic issue…

    I am actually customizing the “new” 2011 WordPress theme for someone. I don’t want any sidebars, so I selected that option. But when I do select that option, it makes the entire module (header, text space, well… everything) smaller, much smaller. I don’t know why it does that, who wants a really small workspace?

    Anyways, how do I change it? I think I just need to edit one of the lines in the .CSS but don’t know which or how. If someone could tell me I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thank you so much in advance,

    Josh

  • Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues.

    Create a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

    yes, okay thank you.

    that is quite simple. I see the advantage of doing that. Thank you.

    Now, how do I go about making the entire thing wider? about 900px is usually right.

    Thanks Esmi. ??

    Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on to locate the correct CSS class for the container.

    Okay, I have another one along the same lines.

    how do I… or is it possible to eliminate the Header page text? I found where it is on the css but don’t know how to delete it. I switched it out for (none) but it just got funny and didn’t work. hummm..

    any help would be really great.

    Try just hiding it from graphical browsers using something like:

    #branding h1, #branding h2 {
position:absolute;
top:-9999px;
left:-9999px;
}
