Eliminating 1 sidebar or merging the two…

    I have a ‘left’ and a ‘right’ sidebar, which sit on the right side of the theme.

    I want to place one image (at least 300-350 px) on the right side.

    So I’m looking to do one of the following;

    1. get rid of the ‘left’ sidebar and increase the width of the ‘right’ one

    2. merge the two sidebars

    how would i do either one? in the css it lists the sidebar as 334px but when i increase it, it pushes the image down to the bottom and it keeps it the same size.

    any ideas or pointers?

    thanks !

    Is there a way to distinguish the different sidebars in the css? or where else would that be?

    any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    thanks

    Hi VBPartners,

    You have 4 divs within the “sidebar” div. “top”, “bottom”, “left” and “right”

    If you just want one div, open up your sidebar.php (or where-ever the code is for that theme)

    Look for:

    <div id="sidebar">
        <div id="top"></div>
        <div id="left"></div>
        <div id="right"></div>
        <div id="bottom"></div>
</div>

    Note: each div will contain extra code, but it’s a bit big to post here, but you should get the idea 🙂

    Remove the divs you no longer need – from start of the div to the closing div tag.

    Your sidebar div is already 334px, so you could remove all divs inside the sidebar except the one you are using (<div id=”right”></div>), then increase the width of that to 334px also. (Line 886 of style.css)

    May need a bit of tweaking to get your widths and alignments right, but this will help you start off.

    I see you’re using tables in a widget, try using divs instead 🙂
