You can always do it – but it depends on the theme – as far as how much work it will be to change the css… Usually it is easy, what is the theme?
the theme is the col-rdmban-rr in the tag on the side. Have you used that theme at all. I’ve looked at the code and I have very basic knowledge so I’m not completely hopeless. I was just wondering/hoping someone with this specific theme could offer me some advice or assistance on these sidebars.
If you posted a link to your site. it would be easy to test a new setup… Not a lot of people I can see using this theme.
i can’t post the link right now due a few things. I’m think i’m just going to have to think really hard about if moving a sidebar like this is worth it. Thanks anyway!
I’ve given up on changing my sidebars around. The whole thing is to complicated and its starting to grow on me that they’re together instead of seperate. I’ll live.
I now have a side bar question that I think is more general coding than this template specific.
What I want to do is edit the sidebar.php file to always have an image showing at the top without having to insert the HTML into a text witdget. The widget solution work but I think it’s a little unsophisticated(if that’s the right word?).
I tried to put in the code that I understand but it never worked. It’s working in the text widget. So any help to get it to work inside the php file would be greatly appreciated!
Hey inauspicious,
I’m Eric, the author of 3COL-RDMBANRR, and I have a Support Forum for any questions/comments/concerns about all of my themes. Since you’re already asking your questions here I’ll go ahead answer them here as well.
There are 6 files you’ll have to edit if you want to move the sidebar to end up with a [sidebar] [content] [sidebar] layout: 404.php, archive.php, index.php, page.php, search.php, and single.php. I know it sounds like a lot, but you’re only going to move around 1 short line of code.
Start with 404.php. Open up that file and find this code:
<?php include ('sidebar1.php'); ?>
Take that code and move it ABOVE this code:
<div id="content">
Repeat this step for the other 5 files. When you’re done you should have code looking like this:
<?php include ('sidebar1.php'); ?>
<div id="content">
My time is currently limited right now so I’ll have to get back to you on that image problem you’re having with the text widget.
Hi!
I’ve done so as well (moving sidebar 2 on the other side of the main column). It looks fine now, the only thing I’d still like to change is I’d like the sidebar background color to go down to the footer – not stop after the last widget… (am I clear?)

Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks a lot!
