Moving Sidebars

  • At the moment I am using the Decayed theme, but due to my lack of knowlegde concerning XHTML and CSS, I have only been able to make minor changes to the theme, colour, positioning etc. However I would love to be able to change the sidebar from the left to the right side of the page. I’ve tried many things suggested in a google search but to no avail.

    I would love to resolve this issue, and knowing how to to it would be extremly useful, and increase my knowledge of altering CCS stylesheets.

    My website is https://www.thommcneilly.com

    The link for the theme I am using is:https://templates.arcsin.se/decayed-wordpress-theme/

    Thanks. Thom McNeilly.

  • Here is a suggestion for changes to your style.css file:

    Around line 230:

    #content {
  left:300px;
  position:absolute;
  top:140px;
  width:760px;
}

    … and, around line 248:

    #navigation {
  position:absolute;
  right:330px;
  top:185px;
  width:210px;
}

    Remember to make a backup of the style.css file first, just in case this is not what you are looking for.

    I tired that put it doesn’t seem to have effected the sidebars location in any way. ??

    Did you use a “hard” refresh to make sure you were not viewing a cached version of your page?

    This post explains the difference between a “hard” and “soft” refresh if it is not clear: https://wpfirstaid.com/2009/12/why-hard-or-soft-refresh/

    The code you gave me has gave me a solution, I just need to move a few things using firebug to see how it looks before I alter anymore code. Thank you so much.

    Great! I used Firebug to generate those suggested numbers.
