Hello there,
The best way to make changes like this to a theme is to use a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme.
After making the child theme make inc/template-tag.php file and add the below code
// Layout Skeleton
$layout_skeleton = array(
'content' => array(
'content' => 'col-xxl-12',
),
'content-sidebar' => array(
'content' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 col-xl-9 col-xxl-9',
'sidebar' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3 col-xl-3 col-xxl-3',
),
'sidebar-content' => array(
'content' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 col-xl-9 col-xxl-9 push-lg-4 push-xl-4 push-xxl-4',
'sidebar' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3 col-xl-3 col-xxl-3 pull-lg-8 pull-xl-8 pull-xxl-8',
),
'sidebar-content-rtl' => array(
'content' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 col-xl-9 col-xxl-9 pull-lg-4 pull-xl-4 pull-xxl-4',
'sidebar' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3 col-xl-3 col-xxl-3 push-lg-8 push-xl-8 push-xxl-8',
),
);
Hope it helps and let me know if you require any further assistance.
Thank you so much for your help here. So, it’s not something I can just post into a custom css manager then?
I had just recently changed my previous theme, because I was trying to make a few changes that I couldn’t do with that one. This one allowed me to make those changes, just the side bar looks a little too big compared to the rest.
Really I could almost go without a sidebar, but was going to leave it because I may need it later.
Would it be easier for me to maybe try a different theme again? I’m going to read through the info on the link you gave again, but in a little bit when I can wrap my head around it better… I’ve had a busy morning… I’ve seen enough to have a small understanding of coding and such, but looking at that my head went POP!!! 🙂
Thanks again. If you have any other suggestions that might help? I will like I said read through all that again in a bit, and decide what I would prefer to do. 🙂
If you find it difficult to make a child theme you can make the changes with the main theme’s file at your own risk.
Access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, navigate to /wp-content/themes/Wisteria/inc/template-tag.php and find the below code
// Layout Skeleton
$layout_skeleton = array(
'content' => array(
'content' => 'col-xxl-12',
),
'content-sidebar' => array(
'content' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-8 col-xl-8 col-xxl-8',
'sidebar' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-4 col-xl-4 col-xxl-4',
),
'sidebar-content' => array(
'content' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-8 col-xl-8 col-xxl-8 push-lg-4 push-xl-4 push-xxl-4',
'sidebar' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-4 col-xl-4 col-xxl-4 pull-lg-8 pull-xl-8 pull-xxl-8',
),
'sidebar-content-rtl' => array(
'content' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-8 col-xl-8 col-xxl-8 pull-lg-4 pull-xl-4 pull-xxl-4',
'sidebar' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-4 col-xl-4 col-xxl-4 push-lg-8 push-xl-8 push-xxl-8',
),
);
and replace with this one
// Layout Skeleton
$layout_skeleton = array(
'content' => array(
'content' => 'col-xxl-12',
),
'content-sidebar' => array(
'content' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 col-xl-9 col-xxl-9',
'sidebar' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3 col-xl-3 col-xxl-3',
),
'sidebar-content' => array(
'content' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 col-xl-9 col-xxl-9 push-lg-4 push-xl-4 push-xxl-4',
'sidebar' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3 col-xl-3 col-xxl-3 pull-lg-8 pull-xl-8 pull-xxl-8',
),
'sidebar-content-rtl' => array(
'content' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-9 col-xl-9 col-xxl-9 pull-lg-4 pull-xl-4 pull-xxl-4',
'sidebar' => 'col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3 col-xl-3 col-xxl-3 push-lg-8 push-xl-8 push-xxl-8',
),
);
Hope you will found it easy.
Thanks again… I’m going to look into making the child theme like you suggested. I was trying to look at some other themes yesterday, but none that stood out. 🙂 I’m guessing it’s not something I can do to the custom css manager then? I have a better mind today, so hopefully I can figure it out… Thanks again… 🙂
