I created my own theme using the _s aka underscores.me as my starting point. Automatic makers of WordPress made it, so I am guessing sidebar widget is a sidebar widget is a sidebar widget:) Theme shouldn’t matter.
sidebar widgets can have any amount and kind of HTML which can be formatted with any amount and kind of CSS – and that is highly theme dependent.
as with all formatting questions – Theme does matter.
something like this might work specifically for Twenty Fourteen:
@media screen and (max-width: 1008px) { /*adjust widgets when sidebars drop down*/
.primary-sidebar .widget {
width: 22%;
float: left;
margin-right: 3%;
}
.primary-sidebar .widget:nth-child(4n+1) {
clear: left;
}
}
Thanks for the replay. I tried that code with some adjustments. It didn’t work. After some research I found a theme called hemingway https://wordpress.org/themes/hemingway that appeared to have a horizontal sidebar in the footer. So I downloaded it and explored some. The way they did it is made 4 footer widgets that sit side by side. I am thinking I may do the same. This way I can set display to none on the sidebar widget at a break point and then display the footer widgets at that break point. I’m gonna explore that theme a little more and see how they did stuff..
