Hey conjur3r, I still prefer cleanliness, so could you tell me how to load the files only when they’re needed because I use it on a single post out of 1000.

It’s really disappointing to see the level of support for twenty thirteen. I initially replied within 30 mins of your posting but it got deleted by the mods for no apparent reason.

What Laura suggested won’t work alone. You need to modify the parent theme’s functions.js

You need to change the .sidebar .site-footer .widget width to 245 (your wish) px and change the value in functions.js to ensure that widgets get placed properly.

I’ve done the same thing on my site: https://techtage.com

Okay, kind of got it done by tweaking functions.js!

MaxCDN widget’s placed on the right, though, unlike the usual left (usual masonry placement).

So you want to keep that sidebar where is shows but without changing the rest of the footer right?

Exactly!

Can you absolute position it?

Doesn’t help.

I contacted the theme designer Joen of Automattic on Twitter. He says that there’s some javascript involved as well so what I want can’t be implemented.

Yes, I understood that. I just wanted to understand if the right sidebar is the one with the adds…

You could try the following. Below, you have the css that’s styling that right sidebar. Try removing the static (see below as it is on the site now)

.site-main .sidebar-container {
position: static;
}
I’m just not sure if you want the sidebar to be on the footer…

Hope this helps! ??

The ‘static’ part is already not present.

Sorry I can’t explain more clearly.

There are two sidebars. One’s in the footer. One’s at the right. I don’t wanna swap/change their positions.

I can remove the static part, but for that I need to edit the main theme. And, right sidebar isn’t what I’m looking to mod.

You didn’t get me. :/

I use only the right sidebar in homepage, and pages. I use both in all other page/post type.

I use a plugin to show the sidebar in certain page types. That’s NOT the issue.

I want the footerbar to NOT shrink or get modified otherwise if the right sidebar is present. That’s all I want.

I am using a child theme. You can easily figure that out.

the main thing here is:

.site-footer .widget-area (right sidebar inactive)

.sidebar.site-footer .widget-area (right sidebar active)

I already made it wider but somehow widgets aren’t getting placed properly. That’s where I need the help.

In addition, I’d also prefer the right sidebar to stay WITHIN its container. If the sidebar is long and post content is less, it overflows, messes up the footer. That’s why footerbar gets shrunk in the first place.

I want to remove both of these default features of twenty thirteen.

No, I’m not at all interested about the right sidebar. Twenty Thirteen calls the footer sidebar the ‘main’ sidebar. I have no problems if you call it footerbar, lol. :v

I just want the footer widget section to feature the exact same look as when you don’t use the right sidebar (as in pages). The footerbar gets shrunk when the right sidebar (secondary sidebar) is active. I don’t want that.

I just want the main sidebar to look exactly same as this one in the footer: https://techtage.com/about-us/

Same margin/font size/padding/columns… whatever.

Check the same page now. Managed to make the footer ‘main’ sidebar wider (1040px) but there seems to be an issue with the widgets margin that’s screwing up the positioning.

This is how the footer looks when there’s no right sidebar: https://techtage.com/about-us/

How do you make the secondary sidebar fixed and the primary sidebar independent of the secondary one?

“I never did find a way to “fix” it, but I’d assume you’d not only want to make the sidebar push the footer down, but also restore all 4 columns in the footer as well so it doesn’t appear shifted to the left….”

Yep, I want both of these. I also started a thread asking for the same recently but no one replied.

I fixed it by adding a ‘disqus_thread’ class in some plugin file and then assigning 60% width to it in my child theme’s style.css

Thanks a lot, Zulfikar. That plugin is just what I needed. ??

I’m searching for transparent text widgets at the moment.
