Hey there!

I have a problem with the correct positioning of the sidebars. After adding the sidebars, the main content frame gets very slim and the site looks terrible.

I tried adjusting the settings of the sidebars but i cant seem to find the correct way of doing it.

Please see the attachement with a before and after screenshot.

Thanks in advance

Hi
When you used two sidebar the total width will be devided into the sidebars and main content.
You can post the URL here and give me a screenshot how you want the sidebars to display.

Hi
You can change the size columns from /tpls/blocks/mainbody/two-sidebar.php file.
Decrease the columns size of sidebar and increase the mainbody columns size. For example column sidebar is col-md-3 change it to col-md-2 and increase the columns value of main content.
Make sure tatol value should be 12.

Hi
Its because sidebars size is 1 that is too small.
You can manage size as per needs, col 2 is good value i think.

I changed it to 8, 2, 2 … but it looks just as bad as before.
What can I do to get my desired result?

Thanks!

Hi
If you use both sidebar its simple that you it reduce the content width, you can disable the sidebar if you want full width, as there is no solution you want sidebar and content in full width that is not possible.

Hi
If you want to change the width of the template kindly check this documentation.

Thanks man!

But is there really no way to just put the sidebar or .. the image outside of the mainbody? The text content should fill 100% of the main body and the sidebar should be on the right.

The container width is fixed so you have to change the width with help of the documentation.
