I promise you, I’ve changed the widths to what I really think should work but I’m getting nothing but frustration. Please help. This is what I’ve done:

#content { width: 750px!important; }
.home #content { width: 436px!important; }
#sidebar {width:280px!important;}

My apologies if I shouldn’t be posting here. Where else should I post a how-to ?

Hi alchymyth,
Since I widened the slider the elements are aligning left so that there is empty space to the right. Not a lot but it’s noticeable to me.

Would you please teach me how to change both the left and center sidebars? I would like my left sidebar to be 280 px (as well as my right) and the center content to be 436 to have a 14 px gap b/t the middle and sides. I hope that made sense. This way, I’m preserving the 1024 width.

Hello alchymyth and anyone else who could help,
Two ?’s:
1) Is there a way to center the content within the coin-slider?
2) How would I widen the right sidebar?

I figured it out. The reason why it was pushing everything down was because the document setup of my logo. It was my mistake. Sorry everyone.

I guess nothing. I thought I read somewhere that if you increase the size of your site you would have to increase the pixel size of your content. I don’t know.

Hello alchymyth,
I went back over your post and realized that I don’t really want to go over 1024. I made the adjustments to 1024 and everything you suggested was PERFECT!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! The coin-slider calculation was very smart. There is only one additional request I have. Would I need to change pixel size since it’s been increased to 1024?

Hi alchymyth,
Thank you so much for the detailed response. I very much appreciate it. I made the changes and didn’t really like what I saw. I realized that instead of a fixed width, I want a flexible width that fills the whole screen. I don’t want to have large amounts of empty space on the screen nor do I want anyone visiting having to scroll horizontally. I would like to have standard width (whatever that is), for both left and right sidebars. I would like the main page sidebar to fill the remaining space. I ended up restoring the stylesheet and decided to share the pastebin here: https://pastebin.com/g8ETYNAj

Thanks everyone for your help!!!

Hi Samuel,
Thanks for responding. I really appreciate it. I am editing the child theme and have a backup. The width is 960 throughout. I updated from 960 to 1000 but the site is still 960. I tested on four different browsers. Is it bad form to copy and paste the Stylesheet on the post? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
