 * Hello,
 * I have problems with my sidebar, it is to small because when i add a category
   the name will be half on it and thenother half will appear under the first half.
   So the sidebar must be wider so the wholenword wil be on one line.
 * Now i must have font size 5 to set all good but that is just too small. If i 
   set my font size on a good size the letters are on two lines. How can i make 
   my sidebar wider so all fits on one line?
    See photos:

 * You can adjust it in CSS using
    .prod-cat-sidebar {width: 25%;} or whatever width
   works for you.
 * Don’t forget to also adjust main content area
    .prod-cat-inner {width: 75%;}
 * So together they make 100%.
 * You can add this to your child theme’s CSS file or in Appearance > Customize 
   >Custom CSS
 * Good luck

 * Hi [@patricklindeboom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patricklindeboom/),
 * I noticed that you have changed the theme on your site. With the new theme in
   place, my experience was different to yours: [View screenshot 1](https://ibb.co/WgmHqkx),
   [View screenshot 2](https://ibb.co/9GnHNP2).
 * Please let me know when you have decided on a theme as each theme has it’s own
   templates and stylesheets. From there we can add custom CSS to solve your issue.
