# Content/sidebar width – responsive

 * Hi!
    I tried to resize the content and sidebar so that the sidebar would be less
   wide than it is now, I used:
 * #primary {
    width: 75%; }
 * #secondary {
    width: 25%; }
 * However, that doesn’t work because although I get it to look fine on a computer,
   it’s messed up on cell phones. I would like to make my sidebar less wide and 
   keep it working on all devices, as you can see on the picture here, I don’t need
   the sidebar to be this wide given the text I have in it.

 * You can’t see it live as I’m using the IgniteUp plugin until I go live, hopefully
   the picture will help. I’m considering updating to the pro version but I want
   to make sure I can get what I need from this theme first, and that’s a big part
   of it.
 * Thank you so much in advance.

 * Hello,
 * I recommend that you add the following code.
 *     ```
       @media screen and (min-width: 980px) {
       	.content-area {
       		padding-right: 7.5%;
       	}
       	.sidebar-area {
       		width: 22.5%;
       	}
       }
       ```
   
 * I don’t recommend that you change the content width, because it needs more customization
   and it is a little complicated.

 * It’s strange, did you delete your code and add the code after style.css?

 * No, I used the custom CSS thingy, I didn’t know I had to go directly in the theme(
   I don’t want to use a child theme).

       ```
   
 * If the code remains, my code doesn’t work.

 * I think your customization or some plugins cause the problem.
    In this case, 
   I need to see your site.

 * I already deactivated all the plugins once to see and it didn’t make a difference.
   But I’m sure you’re right and I might have done something else that’s causing
   the problem. Thank you for your help. Can you give me a way to message you privately
   to communicate the necessary login info to you?

 * Thanks but no thanks, I’m not going to pay for a theme that doesn’t work for 
   me on the assumption that problems might get fixed if I do pay for it, that’s
   not a decent way to work things out. I’ll figure it out myself and move on to
   another theme if I can’t fix it simply. Thank you for your time.
