first, let me say that i love read theme.
the support pages are great, i’m learning so much.

is it possible to have two side bars, one left and one right
with space in the middle for content.

and with equal widths? so a page divided into equal thirds?

i tried columns but it’s just not working right.

thanks for your help, mr. sali!

Can you please provide your tried columns?

i hope i’m giving you the right thing. i ended up using two columns and adding a side bar
but i would like to know if there’s css for this that would work for a 2 column layout and a 3 column layout where everything is evenly spaced and the the columns are the same width.
and the outer margins are the same width right and left.

i’m learning something new every day, but i am quite a beginner.
this is what the page looks like right now: two columns plus sidebar:

thanks! you’re so generous with your knowledge, i really appreciate it!

You can divide your content into two columns with the column shortcode.

[column width="4"]
Put your content here.
[/column]
[column width="4"]
Put your content here.
[/column]

sorry for my ignorance does that go in page editor or css?
and is there short code for 3 columns?

[Mehmet S.]

Use shortcodes in your content editor.

3 columns:

[column width="2"]
Put your content here.
[/column]
[column width="2"]
Put your content here.
[/column]
[column width="2"]
Put your content here.
[/column]

the total pixel width of page. can you advise?

Sorry, there is no permission for me to see that link.

i used a full width page instead of the default page and did 3 columns with a value of “4”
really worked! thanks!

how do i center columns on the page so that content has the same width margins left and right?

Hi, when you use 3 equal column you shouldn’t need anything else to align them. In the url you have given you have 2 columns.

i know, i changed it because i need to solve the problem for my client. i wasn’t able to make it work with 3 columns…hmm. oh well. fine for now. thanks for getting back to me, though.
