Need Help Creating Double Side Bar Template Visual Composer…

Hello, I’ve just purchased. I’m asking if it is possible to create a double side bar by using the Visual Composer Widget Sidebar, by anyone here on Newspaper forum. I’m an Online Adsense, Advertsing & Publishing Broker. I work alongside with Open X, Revcontent, Svorn, Taboola etc. I will be injecting a big investment into our Advertising Campaigns for Quarter 4 – Oct to January.

I need to be able to create an Ad Layout with Double Side Bar

1. 160×600 Banner on the Left as a Left Side Bar

2. 728×90 Banner

3. 300×600 Banner on the Main Right Side Bar.

I’m currently using a Theme that cannot support any modifications for Responsive Layouts from Desktop to Mobile because the 728×90 Banner doesn’t fit onto Mobile.

This is a screen shot of the last Theme I used named X Theme http://prntscr.com/8g3x8x.

However, there latest VC update had a conflict with their Theme. Which put our UX for mobile out of whack! All coding is no longer relevant until they sorted out the bug. I know Visual Composer has 5/6 + 1/6 but I need the 1/6 on the Left Side Bar not the right.

I reversed the 5/6+1/6 Columns around http://prntscr.com/8gw1l0 to give me Left Side Bar widget that for 160×600. Center Column 728×90. Main Right Side Bar 300×600.

Before I add CSS code. Is it possible to adjust the margins to full-width without Mobile Responsive being compromised?

As the right side bar is most effect for Banners of 300×600 + 300×250. I seriously need a Theme that has multiple template layouts but I need one that has a double sidebar to maximise Adsense/Ad Networking/Online Advertising and Publishing.

Emil G, http://prntscr.com/8gvt4m did say to hire a Programmer from Envato but I have had no replies, yet. I’m in desperate mode as our first campaign for Advertising is the 25th of September. I have tried Fiverr and Freelance with replies. But, I really don’t trust the work ethic from those two platforms. I can’t afford a huge budget to have a Template created.

I have the containers and I can increase the width

Width:

.td-container {
width: 1400px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}

Left Side Bar wpb_column vc_column_container td-pb-span2

Center wpb_column vc_column_container td-pb-span10

Main Right Side Bar…? I’ve been trying to figure how to bring the right side bar down flush with the Left Side Bar and the Center Side Bar Columns. I’ve tired Top: -20px and Margin-Top: -20px as an example but it doesn’t seem to be moving.

Any guidance or help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately, changing post content’s width can’t be done easily as theme’s post’s/page’s content width comes from theme’s grid system so changing it would require changing all theme’s elements which is not ans easy task so this can be done but you would have to turn to a developer to help you do it as this job requires customizing theme’s code and we’re not available for any customization services at the moment.

You’re trying to use a custom VC layout on posts pages while the theme was designed and tested to work on 3 columns layout 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 and derivations – more so we haven’t tested VC’s page builder on posts pages so we don’t recommend its usage on post pages.

What you need requires lots of customizations that’s why we advise you to get in touch with a developer to make this changes for you. Sorry!

Thanks for the message!

Hello,

Thanks for replying.

Can use CSS code to achieve what I want with the double side bar layout or does it have to be performed with .php code?

Thanks

Hi,

For custom layouts and changes to theme’s grid you would need to redesigned the layout and for that you would need css code.

The I have made an example of how you could use VC’s page builder and theme’s ad spots on posts pages to get a similar result of what you need: http://screencast.com/t/40zun70amhttp://screencast.com/t/4pZOXohkZ3mhttp://screencast.com/t/ZUpRqfvIhttp://screencast.com/t/I0Ib2ne2E

Try it yourself but note I haven’t tested it, it’s just an example.
