Uh, not to be a jerk or anything, but I started this thread and no one has helped me yet, so perhaps if you can see your way clear to helping me as well as TabaShah, that’d be greatly appreciated.

Thats definitely a step in the right direction, and I’ll have to play with the variables to make it look nice. I can absolutely live with the result.

Just out of curiosity, is the 0 before the 20px the variable for the padding on the other side? Even with the text aligned center, it seems like the margin on the right side of the widget area is larger than the margin on the left. See the link in my original post again for the result.

Also, is there any way to make the widget area thinner on the whole, or is that amount of space “fixed” so widgets cant be crowded out?

Thanks!

That did it! Thank you very much! Totally didn’t see that other menu below the one that shows up by default when you’re setting up Custom Sidebars.

Thanks again!

They’re not appearing on the site itself.

I can customize them in appearance>widgets, but they’re not showing up on the site.

They’re set up to display on on the right sidebar of three separate category pages… Im designing a website for a small label with three bands, and each bands “news” page should have a sidebar that displays upcoming shows for that individual band. I have three separate category pages created for each individual band which serves as the “home” page for that band, displaying posts as band updates, and I have three separate custom sidebars set for each corresponding category page in appearance>widgets. Im using gigpress to manage show listings, which lets you create profiles for multiple bands, so the gigpress widget goes into the custom sidebar set for each individual bands “news” category page, gigpress is set to display the appropriate bands shows for that category page, and custom sidebars is set so that the the themes default right sidebar can be replaced.

Content: home, posts…>Pages and Posts Layout is set in customizr so that the Global Default Layout option is “Right sidebar,” but not “Force Default Layout,” and both “posts” and “pages” default layouts are set to “Right sidebar” as well.

The website will display the themes default sidebar if I add widgets to it in appearance>widgets, but it will not display the defined custom category sidebars, which are setup to display “as Right sidebar for selected categories” in custom sidebars “sidebar location” menu, and the appropriate category pages have been selected for each custom sidebar.

If it helps at all, here is a page from my site where the sidebar is supposed to be displayed, but is not

I have tried deactivating gigpress as well as any other plugins that might affect sidebar editing or management (of which I have few), and no luck there, either.

Ahh… I get it now. I tried it before, but what I was wanting was to customize each category with its own images and widgets and links and such, so that it looks like a web page.

Going to do some more research, then. By change, are there any plugins that perhaps manage the distribution of posts via categories? Like a widget that just displays posts from a given category on a page so you can design the page how you like, but the posts are fed to that page as the user defines?

Im going to do some searching for myself, but if that’s possible and anyone else is aware of, it I would greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks!

Nevermind, figured that out for myself too!

Solved!

Ah, nevermind about what the box is called. Im dumb. Just inspected the element and found some of its code. I’d still like know if it’s possibly to just change the menu box and not the full size nav menu, though.
