Help with theme page/sidebar display.

  • Hello,

    I’m a newbie with wordpress – though i do know a wee bit about CSS and HTML so I have been able to tweak my existing theme – font colours, size, replaced header etc.

    I’m having a challenge with the sidebar and maincontent. I’ve made my theme wider (no problem there) and the content is behaving well – however the green sidebar background hasn’t shifted over with the sidebar content. Can anyone help?

    My blog is: https://www.stockfootageseller.com

    Thanks in advance,
    Relative newbie Rob.

  • the green background is a background image

    used in style.css

    #page {
	margin: 0px auto;
	width: 850px;
	border-bottom: 5px solid #323232;
	border-left: 5px solid #323232;
	border-right: 5px solid #323232;
	background: #FFFFFF url(images/content-bg.gif) repeat-y;
}

    simply edit it in an image editor such as gimp and reupload it to the same location.

    Hi,

    You can edit your css code for for the following ID #page background:url(“images/content-bg.gif”) repeat scroll right center #FFFFFF;}

    Or

    if you dont want to mess with the code.. you need to make a wider background image to fit the container.

    regards,

    dont forget to add white background to #content
    background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;

    else just make the image wider per advice from alchymyth

    regards

    thanks alchymyth & jaguarsdesign.

    i figured it out – tried both methods and the image replacement worked best. Thanks for you help.
