Expandable sidebar

  • I’m new to WordPress (and to CSS and PHP as well), and I’m trying to make my sidebar expand to fit between the header and footer, no matter how long the post text runs. What’s the best way to do this, please?

    here’s one way: https://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=AnyColumnLongest

    but the easy way is to do it by setting a background image to repeat. See the WP Blue Box Theme for an example of what I mean. It uses one background image for both the content and sidebar to create the illusion.

    Thank you. I’m trying that, and the image doesn’t seem to be showing up between where the sidebar would end and the footer. It’s probably a coding error on my end, though. I’ll wrassle with it for a while

    I’ve tried both faux columns and setting a full-page background image to repeat, and neither one seems to work. I’m working with the wordpress default, based on Kubrick, and I’ve moved the sidebar from the right to the left. The php files seem to be cut up a bit, so I may not be putting my <div id=”wrap”> in the right place, but I’m not sure how to resolve that.
