Reformatting Content/Sidebar width Twenty Twelve

  • Hi there. I love the content/width look of this blog https://www.sarahklassen.com/
    and I would love to get the same widths for my content and sidebar.

    I’ve created a child theme for twenty twelve, but I have no idea what to do now!
    Can anyone offer css tips?

    Thank you so much!

  • Whatever percentage you take from the .site-content add to the .widget-area, this is altered 5% from default.

    .site-content {
float: left;
width: 56.104166667%;
}
.widget-area {
float: right;
width: 31.041666667%;
}

    Thank you so much!

    Now I am having another issue. My blog looks completely different when I am logged in vs. when I am logged out.

    It looks like none of the CSS work I have done (which I can see when logged in and loading the page) shows up on other people’s computers (doesn’t matter which browser –i checked). In fact it looks completely unformatted, and has a bizarre blue menu bar that almost looks like it belongs to a mobile theme. The thing is I went through my plugins and deactivated all mobile plugins and it still looks like this.

    Help would be so appreciated!

    I’m not sure what it should look like but I see a very cleen simple layout.

    The only thing I noticed is that the whole page aligns to the left instead of the usual center. Is this by design? In the screen shot I centered it with some simple css edits.

    So I just looked at your page source (from the link above) and noticed your not using WordPress, it appears to be Blogger instead???

    Hi Batharoy,

    Actually no I am using WordPress hosted through Blue Host, not Blogger — I managed to fix this initial problem by re-uploading my style.css file, but now I am having other problems:

    1. My title post (h1) font is not updating even though I coded it to be black
    2. My Google Adwords are not showing up, though I pasted the code in a text widget for my sidebar.
    3. My Comments box / all the stuff going on under my posts is a hot mess. My goal is to get it looking like this

    though I’d like to keep linkwithin visible on each page.

    woof…I’m beat trying to figure this all out.

    P.S. Thank so you so much for even responding! I can’t tell you how stressful this is for me to navigate ??
