Hi mylinux,

oh no. don’t try add these customize to the parent theme stylesheet file. if you do that, all your customize will lose when the theme update. try add those to CHILD style.css file.

to create child theme, read https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

You just need read “How to Create a Child Theme” section. if you want, of course, you can read all article.

It’s very easy to create child theme. After you create it, active this child theme, not parent theme

Then put all code above into this child theme style.css file which you have just create. It will works.

Let me know if you success.
Good luck!

Hi mylinux,

To increase the size of sidebar, you could have 2 common ways.
First, decrease the size of article, then increase the sidebar.
Second, increase the size of whole site, so that the size of sidebar increase according because the width of them (the sidebar and article) set to % not px.

So i will do with second method
Try adding this to child theme style.css file

.site {
  max-width: 1140px;
}

with the code above, the width of whole site grow and of course, the sidebar too. But if you want the sidebar increase more. You can continue add this

.site-content {
   width: 60%;
}

.widget-area {
   width: 31.8457%;
}

I assume that you want these value, but play around with these value until you get your desire result

NOTE: You can use these default value to get better idea

.site {
  max-width: 1040px;
}

.site-content {
   width: 64.1042%;
}

.widget-area {
   width: 27.7417%;
}

Good luck!

Hi Hilary,

You should create your own folder in your computer then upload it to server by filezilla or cyberduck.

Hi chandima,

Hi Ed,

Like john said, you should add this to your child theme style.css file.
And to override the default, you should try to get specific selector and follow is 2 declaration

border-width: 0;
padding: 0;

Hi Ricci,

Try adding this to child theme style.css file

#footer #menu-footer-navigation li a {
    color: #f15a23;
}

#footer #menu-footer-navigation li a:hover {
    color: #868686;
}

I use very specific selector so it will override default style.

#footer #menu-footer-navigation li a {color: #f15a23;} is the color of navigation in footer without hover

#footer #menu-footer-navigation li a:hover {color: #868686;} is the color of navigation in footer when you hover to it. So feel free to use any color you want until you get your result.

Good luck!

Hi matt,

Try adding this

article.row-fluid {
   padding: 0 20px;
