    Hi, I’m new to WordPress and I’m not exactly sure how to move the sidebar of this theme. The sidebar is on the right side by default, but I want to be able to move it to the left side like shown in the theme pictures. How do I go about doing that?

  • You can add this to your Custom CSS:

    .side-widget-area {
        float: left;
    }

    It may overlap with the logo thought so you may need to do some more adjustments to the stylesheet.

    The CSS already has this in it though:

    .side-widget-area {
      clear: left;
      float: left;
      overflow: hidden;
      width: 22.9166667%;
    }

    Could you please post the URL?

    I am having the same problem. Part of my side bar is on the left and part is on the right. I’d like it all to be on the left. I can’t find where I selected a 2-column or 3-column page layout. I’m new to blogging and to WordPress. What I’d really like to do is have my pages and the standard stuff on the left and to post buttons to other blogs on the right. Any assistance is much appreciated. Is this what you mean by ‘url’? http://quiltcharette.wordpress.com/

    change CSS Code like:

    .side-widget-area {
    clear: none;
    float: left;
    margin: 30px 0 0 -100%;
    overflow: hidden;
    width: 17.74194%;
    margin-top:550px;
    }

    Hello! Just wanted to let anyone who’s curious know that we’ve added the ability to force Flounder down to two columns (sidebar on the left and content) at desktop size. It will still collapse down at smaller screen sizes, but larger screens will only show two columns.

    To make Flounder use the two-column desktop layout, go to Appearance –> Customize in your admin, then in the “layout” panel, select “sidebar always on left.” Then save, and you’re good to go!

    I am using the Flounder theme. When I go to Appearance –> Customize I do not see a “layout panel.” Is this information still accurate?

    mygreedylove: If you’re using the most up-to-date version of the Flounder theme on a self-hosted version of WordPress, it should be appearing in the customizer. If you’re using Flounder on WordPress.com, the option hasn’t been ported over.

    Any idea when the 2-column option will be available on wordpress.com?
