Hi! This really is a support question, because look at this page: https://www.petra-schier.de/petras-welt/rodderbach/rodderbach-blog/
It’s not looking good, is it? This sidebar is way too large, but I cannot change anything about it. The only thing I can do is change the width of the pictures I use in the sidebar to a larger size. But that’s not what I want, because they would look way too big.
When I started with evolve/evolve+ several years ago, there was a possibility to change the width of sidebars manually. I know that some other people here at the forum asked for the same thing. I really would rather not change the whole theme just to get that function. I like evolve+ very much, but this is a thing I cannot understand. Most themes give the possibility to change sidebar width. I’m really sorry that I might sound a little harsh, but I dont know what to do if not change themes, which I don’t want to.
Okay, since that seems to be a lot of work, I’m going to solve my problem in some other way. My idea was to change the header widget as I need it and on various sites, but when I need another css every time, that’s going to be too much work (for me and you). Maybe I’ll find smething in my website builder (by SiteOrigin) that does something similar without touching the widget area.
Thanks a lot anyway for your offer! 🙂
That’s okay, I already thought so. But maybe it is possible to bring back that function in the Customizer to change the width of sidebars. I’m sure not only I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks. This might be a bit tricky, because I have so many pages where the sidebar has to show up and also a lot of pages where I have set it to no sidebar. Ant it is not only one sidebar, but another custum sidebar as well.
All blog pages must have the sidebar (It’s sidebar 1 in my theme settings) and also pages like https://www.petra-schier.de/petras-welt/. But this one is only one of many examples. For several reasons I have created new pages for almost every category in my blog. One of the reasons is, that I cannot change the look of category pages in evolve+. It would be great if that might be possible someday. But until then I create a new page for each category and make it look like I want it to and use a plugin to import the specific category posts.
I think this might be a problem for you to come up with a CSS code that helps me with my problem?
I have some CSS code figured out, but unfortunately this leads to the sidebar space not only th change its width on those pages where I have set a sidebar, but it’s also showing up empty on every other page on my website, even though no sidebar is set. Of course I want it only on those pages I chose.
Here’s the code I found:
@media (min-width: 768px) {
#primary {
-ms-flex: 0 0 75.000000%;
flex: 0 0 75.000000%;
max-width: 75.000000%;
}
#secondary {
-ms-flex: 0 0 25.000000%;
flex: 0 0 25.000000%;
max-width: 25.000000%;
}
}
@media (min-width: 768px)
.col-md-4 {
-ms-flex: 0 0 25.000000%;
flex: 0 0 25.000000%;
max-width: 25.000000%;
}
@media (min-width: 576px)
.col-sm-12 {
-ms-flex: 0 0 75.000000%;
flex: 0 0 75.000000%;
max-width: 75.000000%;
}
To prevent the sidebar space showing up on every page and only with the set sidebar on those I want it to, there must be some more code that I don’t know. I’m just learning by doing …
The problem seems to be solved. Thanks a lot. 🙂 But I’d like to know what the problem was and what you did to make everything work as it should on my home page.
