 * Hello!
 * I want to change primary sidebar’s width and position. For some reason the sidebar
   takes lika a quarter of the page, and I want the page’s content to take most 
   of the site’s width.
 * I’ll attach a screenshot of the page, so you can see what I mean.
 * Thank you for your help!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsidebar-232%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I managed to fix it.
 * If anyone needs help with it, here’s how I did it:
 * Go to inspect element, fiddle with it until you find div.sidebar-main, go to 
   the style.css, and it should show `.sidebar-content-area {`.
 * I added `.sidebar-main {` above it, and then (with the borders of the sidebar
   box showing) played around with width. Sidebar-main controls the right side of
   the sidebar and `.sidebar-content-area {` controls the left side.
 * In my case, I used this:
 *     ```
       .sidebar-main {
         position:absolute;
         float: left;
         width: 33.3%;
       }
       .sidebar-content-area {
         width: 5%;
         box-sizing: border-box;
         float: right;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps.
