[Resolved] Container Problem With Sidebar

[Shubham]

Hey.
I want to ask that how can I get this size of container and sidebar
on my website.
https://www.masterincoding.com/what-is-string-in-java/

I am trying to adjust container but it is not matching with the width of this website.

Also, I am using content-aware sidebar plugin

Hi there,

that site uses fixed widths for the sidebars and content which leads to sidewards scrolling on smaller screens.
What exactly you trying to achieve ? Is it a fixed sized sidebar for the Adverts ? Lets us know.

Hi David,
I am talking about the Desktop version and I want to achieve the main container width and position.
I am trying to increase container size from customization but it’s not going more than 1200

[David]

Can you disable your cache so i can take a look at whats causing that.

Yes, I did that.
Please have a look now.

So you have a Layout Element enabled:

Oh ok.
You’re awesome David.

Yes, now it’s working fine.
But what if I want to left-align my sidebar and main container?
I want to remove space from the left side of the left sidebar.

[David]

So the left sidebar sits on lefthand edge of the browser viewport ?

Yes, I want left sidebar on the left hand of the browser along with the main container.

[David]

If you delete the Layout Element, then in Customizer > Layout > Container set the Container Width to 1300px it will match the other sites dimensions.

Then the only other thing is to enable the righthand sidebar to match.

I already deleted that and now it is matching other sites dimension.
What I am asking that I want to lift align all my container to left-hand as of now it is aligned to the center.
Like I want less space on the left side of the left-sidebar and more space on the right side of the right sidebar.
Please refer to the image.

So this code will align the entire single post including the nav to the left:

@media (min-width: 769px) {
    .single-post .grid-container {
        margin-left: 40px !important;
    }
}

If you want to just shift the content and sidebar then use this CSS instead:

@media (min-width: 769px) {
    .single-post #page.grid-container {
        margin-left: 40px !important;
    }
}

That is working.

Thanks a lot, man.
Really appreciated.

[David]
