    Developing the lifestyle pro theme for a customer at http://filmmakersvillage.com. The default for home is sidebar right, but the customer has asked if the sidebar could be on the right. Any hints, tips, suggestions or solutions?

    Thanks in Advance

    You can change the default in "Genesis > Theme Settings".

    It looks something like this (from the post editor, but similar):

    IThanks for the reply but this does not change home. I need it changed on the home page. The default for home is sidebar right and stays sidebar right regardless of declaration you make in Genesis

    Whoops. Sorry, I missed that this was for the home page.

    In you child theme stylesheet, find "Column Widths and Positions"; insert the following code at the bottom of that section. You may also have to fuss with margins and media queries to detail this completely.

    /* Home Page sidebar LEFT */
    
    .home.content-sidebar .content {
    	float: right;
    }
    
    .home .sidebar-primary {
    	float: left;
    }

    Cool. Don't forget about those media queries or it'll be wonky. (You may be able to borrow from the overall sidebar left setup.)
