    Hi, I’m looking to move a website from Divi onto Enfold. I have a number of other sites already on Enfold.

    In Divi, there is a content element for sidebar, which means that you can put it in a block and then have full width content beneath it. In Enfold it seems that the sidebar is either on or off, so you can’t have full width content below the sidebar, which wastes a lot of space. Is there a way of doing this? I attach the url of the site

    Hey andrea,

    You should be able to do that, putting full width elements under content with a sidebar does work.

    Hi Rikard, I can’t see how to do it. I’ve a page set up with default sidebar. I can’t get any content to flow beneath the sidebar, it all sits in the left hand area, unless i use the colour section (which breaks the page, putting the sidebar beneath colour section) or grid row, which makes me have at least 2 columns where I only want one. The private link below shows (starting below the page divider) a block of text and a video not in a container, but still sitting left of the sidebar.

    Hi,

    It doesn’t break the page, that is how the Color Section element works. It’s a full width element so the sidebar will be displayed below it. If you want more control of your content then maybe you could try a “fake” sidebar? Use for instance 3/4 elements for your content and 1/4 elements for your sidebar?

    Thank you, that’s what I wanted – to create a fake sidebar. So I’ve removed the default sidebar to make content full width and in the 1/4 area added widgets/sidebar – but on the page it is blank in that area, the sidebar doesn’t show. Perhaps the commend not to show sidebar is fighting with the widget? Link in private content.

    Also, how can I ‘fake’ the keyline/border between sidebar and main content i.e. between the 3/4 and 1/4 areas?

    Hi,

    Ok, thanks for the feedback. Not sure why your widgets are not showing though, could you please post temporary admin login so that we can take a closer look? You can post the details in the Private Content section of your reply.

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    Thanks for the login, I checked the page mentioned and noticed that the Widget Area points to Sidebar Pages, after checking Appearance > Widgets > Sidebar Pages, this widget area doesn’t have anything, try putting some widgets on it. Hope this helps :)

    ah darn – picked the wrong one! yes of course, the sidebar is showing now. Is there a way I can add the border (vertical separator) that separates the sidebar from the page content – like appears on normal pages?

    Hi,

    Please try the following CSS, you might have to play around with the values a bit to get it right:

    .page-id-24 .av_one_fourth {
    margin-left: 3%;
    width: 20.5%;
    border-left: 1px solid grey;
    padding-left: 3%;
}

    Best regards,
    Rikard
