empty white space to the right of my right columns that shouldn’t be there

    I’m getting unexplained white space to the right of my right columns, using the theme Glowing Amber: partnersinglobalmission.com. This appears strange and seems to take away real estate from the left column. Thank you.

    Hi Westovers,

    The reason is you’re using a 3-column layout theme, but only using two of the columns – which means when you’re left one of the columns empty it doesn’t show, which is why you’re getting your white space.

    If you want to stick to your 3-column code but make some changes to the CSS file to compensate, find this in ‘style.css’ file:

    /* 3 columns */
#mainbody-lr {width:460px; float:left; margin:0 20px;}
#left, #right {width:220px; float:left;}

    and change it so that the #mainbody-lr width is 660px, that should solve your problems. Though I imagine the place where you got the theme will have some documentation on switching between the 2/3 column layout.

    Thank you danielgrieve. I’d rather just have 2 columns, but don’t see how to change that. Any ideas?
