    Hi, I'd like to know, how to change default sidebars to be equal width, cause now right sidebar bigger in about 100 px;

    I tried to change size in style.css, but than left sidebar moved below the content area, so i changed it back 😉

    Thanks forward

    Hello,

    Does this site happen to be live? A link would help determining the problem.

    Hello,

    It will take some style.css adjusting. Try appending this to the bottom of your style.css file.

    /* styling changes on 6/14/2013 */
    .sidebar-content-sidebar #content-sidebar-wrap {
    	width: 680px;
    }
    
    /* styling changes on 6/14/2013 */
    .sidebar-content-sidebar #content {
    	width: 390px;
    }
    
    /* styling changes on 6/14/2013 */
    .sidebar-content-sidebar #sidebar {
    	width: 270px;
    }

    These changes will only affect the sidebar content sidebar layout.

    After you update the style, thoroughly check your theme to make sure these rules did not break other structure.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi, looks like nothing changed. I added the code both in the Genesis theme and in the child theme, but no changes made ;(
