Resize sidebar

Either use a plugin to customise css, or change to using a child theme:
using a child theme

Suggest that you install a browser inspector like firebug, it shows you how your html is formed and how your css is working.

The browser inspector will show you how the sidebars are being managed, and how your theme is setting the width.

Thanks RossMitchell,
Lysannetje have you solved the problem?

Hi,

I found this code in CSS:

#wpbody-content {
float: left;
overflow: visible !important;
padding-bottom: 65px;
width: 100%;
}
.inner-sidebar {
clear: right;
display: none;
float: right;
position: relative;
width: 281px;
}
.columns-2 .inner-sidebar {
display: block;
margin-right: auto;
width: 286px;
}
.columns-2 .inner-sidebar #side-sortables, .inner-sidebar #side-sortables {
min-height: 300px;
padding: 0;
width: 280px;
}
.has-right-sidebar .inner-sidebar {
display: block;
}
.has-right-sidebar #post-body {
clear: left;
float: left;
margin-right: -2000px;
width: 100%;
}
.has-right-sidebar #post-body-content {
float: none;
margin-right: 300px;
width: auto;

I changed the inner-sidebar width to 300 px and columns2 to 300 px in Jetpack CSS customizer, but nothing happened. Well this theme is not my current theme, but I want to change some little things.

Thanks for the help btw.

Hi, the class of the main content is “content-area” and the class of sidebar is “widget-area” you must add custom width to this two classes. To work try to add the attribute “!important” to the custom css.

Thank you so much! It really works.
I am very happy right now ??

happy to hear this ??

Hello, I’m fairly new to WordPress and was hoping someone could help me resize my sidebar. Right now it’s a bit too narrow and is cutting off my ads. My URL is: https://fitterplanet.co.
