Quick Sidebar Problem (9 posts)

    Hey I've got a quick problem I need to fix.
    It's the final tweak I must make before the website is good to go.

    My website: http://www.dinkelpowerskating.com
    My goal is to remove the blank menu rectangle from Sidebar1 (on the left). Originally it said 'advertisement', and I went into sidebar.php and I erased was one small line with the word "Advertisement" in it, and it obviously didn't do the job.
    "Advertisement" is gone, but the block behind it is still there.

    The 'Contact' form, although in Sidebar #2 in the back end is now on Sidebar #1 on the front end. In the end I need 'Classes' on Sidebar1 (left) and 'Contact' on Sidebar2 (right).

    Your help would be enormously appreciated!
    I'll write to you the contents of sidebar 1:

    Open your theme's CSS file (wp-content/themes/HockeyTheme/style.css) and edit line 1399

    .contentLayout .content
    {
    position: relative;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    border: 0;
    float: left;
    overflow: hidden;
    width: 481px;
    }

    Configure the width: attribute accordingly (for example 614px) . You have to play a little bit with the value .

    I would also configure the padding and margin values of the aforementioned CSS code-block .

    Hey thanks for the reply Kostas.

    I found that exact part of the theme style sheet no doubt,
    and manipulating those numbers doesn't change a thing on the front end.

    I even went all the way down to 100px, and up as far as 1481px just to experiment and see what would happen but nothing changed.

    Any advice?

    ..... manipulating those numbers doesn't change a thing on the front end

    It works fine to me (with Chrome's development tool -- CTL+SHIFT+i--- ) .
    Have you made changes to the proper file , stored these changes and reloaded your browser (F5) ? .
    As alchymyth suggests validating your side is a must final step .

    About Validation:
    I had no idea about this concept.
    What's the best way to correct all the errors in the validation list??
    One by one, is that the only way?

    Oh my god this is really frustrating...
    I am trying to fix these problems one by one and it's not working to solve them. When I revalidate to check if it worked it still pops up.
