      Is there a way to have the main content nearer the sidebar or to centre the main content on my posts so the content is not so far over on the right. Here’s link to one of my posts so you can see what I mean – http://www.carbidoff.com/2012/01/car-tyre-puncture-repair/

      Thanks

        Yes, you just need to increase the content width. Take a look around line 925 and you can adjust the width. –

        .content-sidebar #content,
        .sidebar-content #content {
        width: 650px;
        }

        It’s currently at 580px, but I changed it to 650px as an example. You can adjust this to whatever you’re comfortable with.

          Thanks for that Wes.

          I made the change a few hours ago and cleared the cache but it’s still not showing up or when I look at the post with Firebug. Any ideas what could be wrong?

            I don’t see any changes made. Double check to make sure the file is saving properly.

              Hi Wes

              Thanks for getting back to me.

              I’ve just saved the file again and it says file edited successfully, do you know of another way I can check to see if it has actually saved.

              Many thanks

                You can look at the file itself here – http://images5.carbidoff.com/wp-content/themes/legacy/style.css?ver=1.9.1

                I’m guessing you’re using the WP editor? You can try loggin out and logging back in and see if that works….other than that I have no idea, I’ve never had that happen before. I use FTP to edit all of my files.

                  Thanks for trying Wes

                  I’ve just looked at the file via SFTP and it’s showing the changes so it looks like the old file is cached somehow. I’ll disable W3TC and see if that does anything.

                  Thanks again for your help on this

                    Oh yes, if you’re using a caching plugin, then thats exactly what it is. You’ll just need to update it to show the latest changes you’ve made.

                      I think I’ll have to get rid of W3TC as I emptied all the caches and nothing happened but when I disabled it the changes showed. However soon as I enabled it again it went back to the old version.

                        Yes, that’s part of the reason why I don’t use it myself. Many others have similar issues with that plugin as well.
