    Hi – thanks for the plugin, firstly – still works fine for me despite the lack of updates; can you tell me please whether it’s possible to change the format of a sidebar, eg by setting a background colour, or outline?

    Thanks
    Pete

    Hi Pete,

    Thanks for your question.

    This can certainly be done, using the “Additional CSS” section of the Customizer. Each widget area has a unique ID value, which can be found using the “Inspect Element” tool in your web browser.

    Here’s a great blog post about using Inspect Element: https://zapier.com/blog/inspect-element-tutorial/

    Hi Matty
    Good grief, I’d forgotten about this! Thanks for the reply; unfortunately my skill with CSS is limited to following examples, so it’ll take me a while to work out how to do what you’re suggesting – however, the suggestion itself is appreciated.

    All the best
    Pete

    Hi Pete,

    Sure thing. Here’s a primer on the “Additional CSS” section of the Customizer. This is where you’d add your desired CSS, once you’ve found the appropriate ID, using the inspect element tutorial linked above.

    I hope this helps!
