Twenty Eleven sidebar template change layout

  • Trying to change several things on Twenty Eleven sidebar template below the menu in the content area. a)Reduce margins on left and right sides of content area, b) fix that new pages shove sidebar to bottom of page, and c) add a background color to sidebar. Does anyone know how to do this? Here is what did not work for sidebar issue getting shoved down on new pages created: installing the 2011 extension and using that, putting page, single and function php files in child theme with “get sidebar php instructions’ and just using the sidebar template. None of this worked. Somewhere it must be that the parent css does not like what I am doing with the new pages. The existing pages work (sidebar not shoved down) Note the text widgets I added are wider than the default width of the sidebar in this theme.

  • the validation of for instance one of the pages with the dislocated sidebar shows validation errors:
    https://realestatemethowvalley.com/?page_id=247

    particular this one:
    ‘ Line 97, Column 29: Unclosed element div.’

    posibly caused by this badly commented section in the comment area:

    <div id="comments">

	<!--

</div> -->

    double check what you have edited in comments.php

    if you don’t want to allow comments, there are different ways…

    margins and background colors are purely formatting issues,for which you could try and work with a tool such as Firebug https://getfirebug.com/

    Just deleted the comments php in child theme. And got rid of comments from the dashboard. So much for cutting and pasting, I must have missed some of the pasting in the comments.
    Thanks so much.
