to display my sidebar on every page.
The problem I am having is that my side bar seems to have more space then the main part of my page, this results in my page looking cramped. If I try to add blank columns with the page editor to separate things, then everything besides the sidebar starts to shrink.
In a way, I guess I would like to have a full width page, but still have the sidebar…if that makes any sense? Or maybe there is a way to increase the room or width of given pages because when I maximize my page, there seems to be ALOT of white space available on either side that the theme refuses to utilize.
I’m lost…lol appreciate any help thanx!

Hi Semper Aye
You can fix/change this with some custom CSS. If you navigate to Appearance > Custom CSS, you’ll get our custom CSS editor. Just add the following code.
body.layout-full.responsive #page-wrapper .full-container { max-width: 1080px !important; }1080px is the default width. please increase this value until you have a size that meets your needs.
Let us know how you get on

Thanx I think this will work, but it will mess up the other pages if there is no sidebar on the other pages. Right now it seems Vantage is set to only have the sidebar on one page, so i’ll need to investigate how to fix that issue in a new thread thanx.
Hi Semper Aye
You can have a sidebar on any page by selecting the default template for the page.
Because Vantage uses a different template for pages without sidebars you could use the following instead.
body.responsive.page-template-default #page-wrapper .full-container { max-width: 1080px !important; }Just change the width setting.

I have changed my home page from a custom one, to the recent posts option. Since doing so I am having the same problem with the width. What is interesting is that the slider image is responsive but the body where the blog and sidebar are, seem to stay the same size no matter what I do.
Is there a code to fix that as well?

Hi Semper Aye
I cannot access you site at the moment, it is just showing as page cannot be displayed. Are you using any plugins to limit access to certain countries.

Magus,
Hi and thank you for the reply! I had to re-do the website because of errors, here it what I’m talking about:

The page looks great when it is docked to the left or right of my 1080p monitor, but when maximized the blog and sidebar stay the same size as the menu and slider get larger.
Hi Semper Aye
That would be the default behaviour. The main body of the site is constrained to 1080px, while the slider and menu/footer are set at 100% of the screen width. If you want the main body of the site to fill the screen at whatever width then please add the following to Appearance->Custom CSS
body.responsive.layout-full #page-wrapper .full-container { max-width: 100%; }You should be aware that doing this will affect the layout of the home page as well as all other pages

Looks like its better to just leave it alone, thanx.
No Worries
