  Hi there,

  I would like to change the width of the pages with a sidebar from this:
  sidebar -> span4 / content ->span8

  to:
  sidebar -> span3 / content -> span9

  or to:
  sidebar -> span3 / content -> span10

  How can I do this. I was already able to change the sidebar width in the page.php of your theme, and I changed there also the full content width, but the different rows of the content won’t change size. Could you tell me in which file I have to change it? You would really help me out a lot.

  Cheers
  Michael

  Have you found a solution yet? I hate the span4 width sidebars used on all pages (where the shop standard sidebar is span3).

  How can we change the span4 sidebar (span8 content) to span3 sidebar (span9 content) all over the website?

  Hi

  Open up page.php and find:

  <?php if ($sidebar_config == "left-sidebar") { ?>
  		
  		<aside class="sidebar left-sidebar span4">
  			<?php dynamic_sidebar($left_sidebar); ?>
  		</aside>
  
  	<?php } else if ($sidebar_config == "right-sidebar") { ?>
  		
  		<aside class="sidebar right-sidebar span4">
  			<?php dynamic_sidebar($right_sidebar); ?>
  		</aside>
  		
  	<?php } else if ($sidebar_config == "both-sidebars") { ?>
  		
  		<aside class="sidebar right-sidebar span3">
  			<?php dynamic_sidebar($right_sidebar); ?>
  		</aside>
  	
  	<?php } ?>
  

  and change to:

  <?php if ($sidebar_config == "left-sidebar") { ?>
  		
  		<aside class="sidebar left-sidebar span3">
  			<?php dynamic_sidebar($left_sidebar); ?>
  		</aside>
  
  	<?php } else if ($sidebar_config == "right-sidebar") { ?>
  		
  		<aside class="sidebar right-sidebar span3">
  			<?php dynamic_sidebar($right_sidebar); ?>
  		</aside>
  		
  	<?php } else if ($sidebar_config == "both-sidebars") { ?>
  		
  		<aside class="sidebar right-sidebar span3">
  			<?php dynamic_sidebar($right_sidebar); ?>
  		</aside>
  	
  	<?php } ?>

  2 Instances of span3, changed to span4

  And then on line 88:

  <div <?php post_class('clearfix span8'); ?> id="<?php the_ID(); ?>">

  Change the span8 to span9

  Thanks Kyle! But every time I update the theme, these changes will be lost right?

  Not if you use a child theme, save the file in your child theme
