Aloha and thanks! Great theme, I have the latest. I know some CSS/HTML, not PHP yet so much.
I would like to make some customizations. Please bare with me, & thank you in advance for any help in the right direction(s).

CURRENT FLEXFORM SITE:

1. Moving The Left SideBar, ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT.(example image attached)
So Under the “Edit” Section I changed the padding below from 20px to 0px.
```
}
.sidebar.left-sidebar {
	padding-right: 0px;
```
Nothing happens. I’m assuming there is a another line of code I’m missing? I want the sidebar ALL the way to the left. No dead space.

2. EXPANDING THE WIDTH OF POSTS/PAGES
Can I expand the width of both the pages & the posts?
For example, I want my left Sidebar to be 212px the blog area 820px and the right Sidebar at 340px, etc.
I looked at the stylesheet & couldn’t find any parameters (unless i’m blind) If possible, where would I go to make these changes? Thanks

3. REMOVING DEAD SPACE BELOW THE REVOLUTION SLIDER (example image attached)
How do I get rid of the dead space below the Revolution Slider, so my page/post content is plush right up to it. How do I kill that space?

4. PORTFOLIO MODE. CHANGING POPUP BACKGROUND TO TRANSPARENT IN REVOLUTION SLIDER.
How would I do this?

5. KEEPING THE SEARCHBAR IN THE MINI-HEADER ON SCROLLDOWN
When you scroll down in Flexform. The search bar disappears from the header. Is it possible to keep it in the mini-header as it scrolls down?

Lastly, I don’t expect you too design my site! I’m still learning, some answers I can’t find online. So sorry for the flurry of questions, but if anyone can point me in the right direction(s) It would be invaluable and appreciated.

Thanks for any help, & keep up the amazing work guys and gals!

Best
J

Hi

I would suggest hiring a developer to help you with your customisations as they are far beyong what we can support for, the only one I can help you for is number 4:

Add this to your custom css:
```
#swift-slider .flex-caption .flex-caption-details .caption-details-inner {
  background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
}
.caption-details-inner .details span, .flex-caption-large .details span {
  display: none;
}
```

Thanks Kyle

That worked for the top, but not the bottom where the arrow is.

And I understand you can only support so much. I’m broke so I can’t afford to hire anyone, but if anyone else here maybe has any pointers to put me in the right direction it’d be appreciated! Thanks, J

sorry to be a bother, but something buggy is going on. Everything worked, until I added another slide to the slider. Now the circle/heart loader vanished..
