Hey irncru,
It isn’t something that has to be removed in a template. In your custom-styles.css stylesheet you have a right margin of -235px set for #sidebar-shell-1
, if you just change the value to a higher number (-260px looks pretty good) it won’t be overlapping anymore.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for replying SWR,
I looked in styles.css and the only reference to sidebar one was this
#sidebar-container.sidebar-container-left #sidebar-shell-1, #sidebar-container.sidebar-container-left #sidebar-shell-2 { float: left; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 15px; right: auto; }
#sidebar-container.sidebar-container-right #sidebar-shell-1, #sidebar-container.sidebar-container-right #sidebar-shell-2 { float: right; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 15px; right: auto; left: auto; }
I tried adding {margin-right: 260px; } after sidebar-shell-1 but it did nothing. Not sure if that’s right but nothing I’ve tried has had any effect on anything so far 🙁
Are you using a child theme or custom css plugin? (those are the only places recommended to make changes)
you could simply add in your stylesheet the following:
#sidebar { margin-right: 0px; }

hmm, that’s worked in chrome, but i just looked in IE and the problem was still there. also i have a fluid layout with the width set to 100%, and now the page is actually wider than the browser window.
and SWR – that was just in the style sheet for the theme i’m using in WP
It’s actually looking fine for me now, in Chrome, Firefox and IE
The reason I mentioned a child theme or custom css plugin is that if you’re making the changes directly to the theme’s stylesheet they’ll be lost when the theme updates and/or cause other problems.
It’s super easy to create a child theme though, http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes or install one of the many custom css plugins and copy and paste your changed code to avoid any issues 🙂
