On the left sidebar category module items with a length over a certain number of characters are truncated. I need to make the sidebar wider but couldn't find the exact spot in the stylesheets where to do that.
Hi andrewwinkler
Please post an url to your website so we can check it

It's still not perfect.
I was not able to find the problem - could you please post a screen shot of the problem with annotations in it ?
Thanks
The remaining problem is that the margin between the header of the 'categories' module on 'sidebar' position is too close to the left border of the page. When I make it wider, the category name gets 'ellipsed' or truncated.

Try add this to template.css file :
#sidebar .categories-module li a{white-space: normal;}

Good suggestion. Now the category names that don't fit completely are breaking into the second line but that's perfectly fine with me. I was more concerned about the tiny margin on the left side of the screen. Thanks for your help.

Nice that it helped 🙂

To be more precise and avoid confusion/ambiquity in addressing your query, Kindly provide screenshot marked with annotations showing the respective section and how you wished to have it seen. This should really help to ensure that we are able to address your query more appropriately.
I will next time. Now, how can I make the sidebar wider so that the full category name fits in one line and doesn't break?

Pls remove above css as you need to set the li tag with white-space: nowrap in order to make the text not break to the second line.
And follow this suggestion to increase the width of sidebar: https://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/increase-the-width-of-the-sidebar/
Perfect. Thanks a lot.
