Want to swap columns on Default WP theme

CMS & WordPress
1

I’m having a problem swapping the 2 columns on the default WordPress theme.

To clarify, the sidebar is on the right - by default - and I want to move it to the left side.

My effort to edit the CSS styles is not working. Has anyone tried this?

Even better would be to have a left and right sidebar with middle div for content.

On the run just now (sorry) but essentially you need to change these in style.css:

Change

.narrowcolumn {
	float: left;
	padding: 0 0 0px 5px;
	margin: 0px 0 0;
	width: 450px;
	}

to

.narrowcolumn {
	float: right;
	padding: 0 0 0px 5px;
	margin: 0px 0 0;
	width: 450px;
	}

and maybe change the padding a bit. and change

#sidebar {
	padding: 20px 0 10px 0;
	margin-left: 545px;
	width: 190px;
	}

to

#sidebar {
	padding: 20px 0 10px 0;
	float: left;
	width: 190px;
	}

I’ll be back later to see if this has helped. :wink:

Thanks for trying to help. I tried that but no luck. I’m now trying other things but no luck either. Don’t know why this is such a problem - I have alot of experience with CSS and this task couldn’t be more simple.

Are you able to post a link? That would make it easier to suggest style changes. I haven’t used the default theme for a long time.

I tested it locally and it worked fine. How are you going about it?

That link failed, unfortunately.
