Make sidebar more narrow

[Vika]

Hi, Tom! 🙂
Could you advise, please, how to make my left sidebar more narrow? It has min width of the theme 15% now, but I need less.
Take a look at this page: https://justforex.com/blog/myths-forex-beginners/

That’s something that i think is out of the scope of the spacing add-on and the way a sidebar should be used.

Why don’t you try something like this for that socialbar:

You can fast test it doing like this on your hooks add-on

On your wp_head hook add this:

<link href="http://www.jqueryscript.net/demo/jQuery-Plugin-For-Horizontal-Floating-Social-Share-Bar/css/floating-share.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">

in your wp_footer hook, this:

<!-- Begin Floating Share  -->

<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(function(){
    jQuery("body").floatingShare();
     });
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.jqueryscript.net/demo/jQuery-Plugin-For-Horizontal-Floating-Social-Share-Bar/js/jquery.floating-share.js"></script>

<!-- End Floating Share  -->

If you plan to use it permanently consider adding the script to your child theme or at least put the jquery.floating-share.js and the floating-share.css where you know it will always be.

Peace 🙂

I agree with Roberto – that looks like a better solution.

However, you can decrease the sidebar width with something like this:

add_filter( 'generate_left_sidebar_width','generate_custom_left_sidebar_width' );
function generate_custom_left_sidebar_width()
{
      return '10';
}
