Can someone please help me understand where to go to change the width of side modules? I feel they are too wide for the website I am working on.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank You ahead of time!

Sarah

tienhc,

Thank you for responding. 😀

I did take a snapshot and circled a module for reference. Again, my intentions are to shorten the module’s width a little as I feel it is too wide. I can take a look at the links you sent me to see if they can help. I just never go into the code and change things too much as I’d hate to mess the code up and then have to figure out how to fix it.

Have a nice day! Thanks again!
Sarah

Just wanted to update this and let you know that I do not know php so I am afraid to just jump into the code and experiment as I may mess something up.

I would just like to know which file and what exactly I need to change to shorten the left hand side modules? Is this in the css for example or a php file?

Thank you!!

Dear wixomweb!

– Open templates/ja_template_name/layouts/default.php file, at the begin of file, find following code line:

$this->_basewidth = 20;

here you change 20 to your size.

Good luck
