How can I increase my right column width? Right now my Google ad doesn't quite fit and is partially blocked from view - plus it just looks bad. Can you help? mixedwiki.com is the site, I just purchased one of your themes, thank you! Chris
Hi!
Could you clarify your issue? Do you want to increase width of the right sidebar?
Hi Alice,

Exactly! Some of the right column 300x250 ad is being truncated on my site (mixedwiki.com). Ideally I'd like the right column to properly display 300x250 ads, as my other site does (www.thechristhompson.com).

Hi!
To fix this you have to change the property "width" in this code from the file css --> wide.css:
.sidebar.right {
position: relative;
float: right;
overflow: hidden;
padding-bottom: 20px;
height: 100%;
width: 300px;}
Hi,

My theme consists of all *.php files and 1 CSS file called style.css. There is also a function so I can copy in custom CSS code under appearance, edit CSS.

I don't understand what this means:

Could you be more specific about where the CSS code snippet goes?

You have to find the folder "css" in the directory of your theme. There is the file wide.css in this folder. Please, open this file and find the code:
.sidebar.right {
position: relative;
float: right;
overflow: hidden;
padding-bottom: 20px;
height: 100%;
width: 300px;}

To increase the right sidebar width you have to change value of the variable "width" in this code.
Thanks so much, that worked to increase the column width! Now I'm having issues with the right column text labels but I can open a new ticket for those, this request is complete, thanks. Chris
