Layout question, from 2 column to 3 column — possible?

  • Hi, I decided to use Blix as my theme (and change a few things). I can figure out how to change everything I want except one thing: I want TWO right-hand sidebars instead of just one. I have picked it (and several other themes) apart and tried a few things, but I just can’t get it to work for me.

    I won’t burden anyone with links to pastebin or anything unless someone decides to take pity on me and help. Just ask and I’ll provide any info you need. Apparently, duplicating the existing elements in the *.css and sidebar.php files and renaming them doesn’t work. I think this is essentially a CSS question. Is it possible to modify this theme to have two sidebars? Thanks so much for taking time to read this.

  • Possible but NOT simple, and generally not only time-consuming but the sort of thing that causes one to beat one’s head against the nearest brick wall, and not have an answer when one’s sigother asks “why?” You’d be better advised to search https://themes.wordpress.net for a 3 column theme to begin with.

    Rats. I had suspected that this was the case. I can adapt a different 3-column layout, but I really liked the functionality and also the “feel” that that one offered and of course, I lack the expertise to code that stuff myself.

    Thanks for replying, though!

    Heh. Well, I tried to help someone do exactly that sort of thing a few months back. I spent about 60 hours on it, and it still wasn’t right. And I’m not exactly incompetent with css etc.

    I wouldn’t go there again…. hope you find something else that will do!

    I found one I thought would work, but I’m having second thoughts about it. I am so in love with the stuff Blix does, that I will either have to learn php (to implement that stuff on another theme)or go without 2 right hand sidebars.

    Thanks for your replies and support, though, vkaryl!
