Just found this on one of my favorite WordPress themes site designer, Shane G. – it’s how to switch the position of a sidebar. If you’re like me, you find lots of great WordPress themes, but more often than not, the sidebar is on the wrong side. With the advent of mobile web, I find it best to have a left sidebar, rather than a right one. You have to do this in the Style sheets section of the WordPress Dashboard. Of course, you can also do this via FTP and just edit the file from there.
To find the Stylesheet, go to your Dashboard and click on the Appearance tab. Under the Appearance tab is the Editor tab. Click on that next. Usually, WordPress default to the Stylesheet page, but in case is does not, find the Stylesheet on the bottom right hand corner. Before editing, make sure to save a copy in Notebook. Once you are ready, just follow the code below; it’s best just to copy and paste.
Here’s the code and remember to make and save a copy in Notepad before editing:
.narrowcolumn
{
float: left;
padding: 0 0 20px 45px;
margin: 0px 0 0;
width: 450px;
}
Replace above code with this code;
.narrowcolumn
{
float: right;
padding: 0 45px 20px 0px;
margin: 0px 0 0;
width: 450px;
}
Now, search this code;
#sidebar
{
padding: 20px 0 10px 0;
margin-left: 545px;
width: 190px;
}
Replace with this code:
#sidebar
{
padding: 20px 0 10px 0;
margin-left: 20px;
width: 190px;
}
