XF 2.2 Expanding Sidebar Size

[YamahaMT]

Hi there,

I cant figure out how to expand my sidebar size to 300px. I have set the size in both the parent theme and the style theme. ie Fury and then Fury-Dark to these settings.

When i add a widget that is 300px wide it overlaps the sidebar.

What am i missing?

Did you resolve it?

The width is showing as 300px for me.

So I see that the sidebar is 300 wide but can't figure out why the ad is stretched out when i made it fixed 300x300 in adsense.

I'm assuming you placed this using a HTML widget? If so, there's an option you can check when editing the widget called "Advanced mode" that removes the surrounding container that contains padding. The padding was causing the width of the content to be less than 300px.

Just as a heads up why it was doing it.

Got it. So I could just place the code in the advanced section at it won’t show any padding or container background?

There's no advanced section, it's just an option on the widget. Checking that option down there will remove the padding + background on the widget. Place just your ad code in the template box.
