Hi,
Thanks for the awesome template and all of the great help here on the forum. I read in another message where you can change the column sizes for the right and left columns by going to the template.css file and edit the code as shown below. (Thanks jsliao for that answer!)

“template.css (line 672)
Code:

#ja-col2 {
float:right;
overflow:hidden;
width:30%;
}

template.css (line 640)

Code:

#ja-mainbodywrap {
float:left;
width:70%;
}

adjust the figures in red as required. they should add up to 100%”

This worked out great until I went back and looked at my main page and it was off, the left column was of course changed. My question is, is there a way to change the right and left positioning for just one page or a certain set of pages, articles pretty much will be where I wanted to change it but keep the main page the way it is?

I tried to look through the template.css page but I did not see anything that stood out to me. Thanks in advance for your help.

hi imagx

the css you’ve edited controls the css for the whole site. if you only want to make changes to certain pages then you’ll have to create extra styles in the template.css with the correct styles and edit the actual PHP code to suit your needs.

However, the edits to the PHP code aren’t easy – they’re pretty sensitive and if you even get one small thing wrong – it will break your site completely.

I warn you if you don’t know PHP proficiently – don’t mess with the code. So in answer to your question (unless you know PHP very well), you can’t for one specific page.

Hope this helps

Anis

For articles most people just switch off one side or both to give more room for your important text.
