 * Hello,
 * I have just installed Kale and so far I am really loving the clean simple lines
   of the design. I’ve been customising it to suit my needs, but I’ve recently noticed
   a quirk with one of my pages.
 * My ‘Blog’ page is set to the default page template. I would like to use the Sidebar–
   Default (without a border) and I’ve added the necessary widgets. However it appears
   to be positioned further to the left than I would expect. Is there a way change
   this so it appears at the righthand side of the page?
 * Many thanks,
    Alison
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsidebar-default-position%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello
 * Hope you are having a great day and thanks for contacting us!
 * Please go to WP Admin > Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and inside that
   box, add the following code:
 *     ```
       .row {
           display: inline;
       }
       ```
   
 * ​Try it and let me know how it worked.
 * Kind regards,
    Diego

 * Hello!
 * For some reason all that did was change the header – it moved my social media
   buttons from the left to the right?

 * Ah, okay. So I might have figured out what’s gone wrong – but I’ll be damned 
   if I can figure out how to solve it.
 * I have added a ‘blank page’ template to the theme folder, so that I can use it
   for my landing page (www.birchbark.co.uk). In order to set it up how I’d like,
   I’ve added some CSS (below). Obviously though (now) this is impacting the rest
   of the theme. Therefore, I’ve tried to add body-class signifiers in front (in
   this case .body.js #content) to avoid this CSS effecting anything else – but 
   when I do that, it seems to get over-ruled somewhere above and no longer appears
   the same.
 * It might be that this is well beyond your remit, since the only reason the sidebar
   isn’t where it’s supposed to be is because I have added in this additional page
   template and CSS for it.

 * html, body {
    width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; } section { width:
   100%; min-height: 100%; display:table; height:inherit; } .row { width: 100%; 
   height: 100%; display:table-row; } .col-left, .col-right { display:table-cell;
   width: 50%; height: 100%; vertical-align:middle; } .col-left { background: white}.
   col-right { background: white; }
 * h1 {
    font-family: sans-serif; color: white; }

 * You’re overriding html, body, row, and section classes/elements which we already
   reference in our theme. You’ll need to add very specific selectors specific to
   the page ID or body class.
