    Hi,
    I’m using the raindrops theme for a while now and just updated to version 1.307

    I used to have a setting in old versions to have the front page with a wider left sidebar.

    Can you help me how to get a custom left sidebar width only for the frontpage.
    – It would be great to have only the frontpage wwith a bigger width for the sidebar (about 360px..? or something around that)
    – 180px left sidebar is OK for all the other parts of the website.

    I am using a child theme for it (:

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Nobita,

    Thank you for the great theme!

    With the updates I also updated all the child theme header files. They should be all from version 1.307.

    The URL of my website is: http://www.odyssee-reisen.at/

    Have a nice day,

    For example

    Your Site facebook iframe size 292px, I think 360px too wider

    Width, please change in your favorite

    Please add child / style.css bottom

    .home .yui-t2 #yui-main .yui-b {
        margin-left: 330px; /* your width + 10px */
        border:1px solid red; /* for check html structure */
    }
    .home .yui-t2 .yui-b {
        width:320px; /* your width */
        max-width: 320px;
        border:1px solid red;/* for check html structure */
    }

    and ifreme size 180px removed.

    do you go well?

    Hi Nobita,

    Thanks for your quick response.

    You are right!
    I think actually 300px is already enough.

    I will update styles.css in little bit and let you know how it works.

    i’m fine, thanks! hope you are good too?

    Hi again,

    I’ve just tried out the code.

    The result is this, please see screenshot:
    dropbox screenshot_odyssee-leftsidebar01.png

    It looks like the width stays the same somehow.
    The attribute ‘max-width: 300px;’ is somehow deleted/overwritten in the progress I think.. (i changed to write 300px, because that would be perfect)

    Maybe 300px can bee set with raindrops theme setting options (300px leftsidebar is an option to chose in theme settings)

    Thank you

    Hello Nobita,

    I’m sorry for my previous messages.

    I don’t know what was wrong, but when I copy-pasted the code, it didn’t work at first.
    I typed exactly the code you suggested now by hand and it works.

    So thank you very much, its working great! Sorry for the confusion.

    Have a nice day!
