I’m using the Sidebar-Content-Sidebar layout option of the Coraline Theme for a site I’m building and have been trying for weeks to increase the width of the right sidebar.

I read that I’d need to adjust the columns, margins and padding to make it work and have found a lot of confusing and conflicting percentages and measurements which never seem to add up to 100% or to a maximum width of 990px.

This is extremely confusing especially as I don’t do CSS. I would be most thankful if you would explain in simple terms which numbers and which bit of code I need to change.

Thanks in advance.

I’m using the 5th layout option of the Coraline Theme (Sidebar-Content-Sidebar) for a self-hosted blog and have been trying for weeks to increase the width of the right sidebar.

I understand that I’d need to adjust the columns, margins and padding to make it work and have found a lot of confusing/conflicting percentages and measurements which never seem to add up to 100% or a maximum width of 990px.

This is very confusing especially as I don’t do CSS. I would be most thankful if you would explain which numbers I need to alter.

Many thanks

Hi Helen,

1. On your page paste:

[galleryview id=1 showPanels=true showCaptions=false showFilmstrip=true panelWidth=600 panelHeight=400 panelScale=nocrop transitionSpeed=800 transitionInterval=4000 fadePanels=true frameWidth=60 frameHeight=40 filmstripPosition=bottom pointerSize=8? frameScale=crop frameGap=5 frameOpacity=0.3 easingValue=swing navTheme=dark startFrame=1 pauseOnHover=false]

2. Add the code below to galleryview.css:

(Galleryview.css is found in: Plugins > WordPress NextGen GalleryView|Edit > wordpress-nextgen-galleryview/-GalleryView/license.txt >> wordpress-nextgen-galleryview/-GalleryView/css/galleryview.cs-s.

Galleryview.css file doesn’t show until you click “wordpress-nextgen-galleryview-/GalleryView/license.txt”.)

.galleryview .nav-next { width:22px !important; float: none; }

My sincere thanks to Kim Bruce at https://artbiz.ca, a really fantastic lady who kindly solved this for me.

Thank you Togo. I’m also using the Ari theme on one of my sites but had the opposite problem to yours as I needed to increase the width of my right sidebar.

Following your advice in reverse, I simply increased the width of the sidebar and decreased the width of the content by the same amount.

Easy when you know how!

Thanks again.
