Hello,
Is there a way to have the sidebar on above (or at least below) the content?
Rubin,
In most Themes, as far as I know, the sidebar is just that - a ābarā which is made for content which the designer (you and me) wants to appear at the left or right side; or optionally to suppress - so as to allow the rest of the content to occupy more of the page laterally.
Have you looked into the growing world of Extra Content (hereās some proprietary background): many themes now make it easy for us to place content in parts of the page - like the top or bottom - previously unavailable in simpler Themes? It looks as though you want to do just that!
There are now Stacks to make the implementation of EC really easy, nominating by number which area that a Theme developer has reserved for youā¦ that is, āHereās my stack element; I want it to go in the Themes EC area number 4 - or whateverā. Good luck!
MarkSealey,
Yep I use EC a lot. My problem is I still need the sidebar for the blog and I really donāt like it to take that space on right or left. At least when responsive themes go under a certain width the sidebar is moved below the content. Thereās no way to accomplish just the same at desktop widths?
Rubin,
I donāt make a lot of use of blogs; Iām sure someone else will know just what you need to do and be able to help. Good luck!
you could have a look at DeFliGraās Flex2 stacks

itāll keep a fixed width sidebar whilst the rest adjusts responsively up to a breakpoint after which the sidebar will pop below
Thanks for the link stanbits. But think this stack will not āaffectā the sidebar. It looks like it can recreate the sidebar feel. But I am looking for the ārealā sidebar with all the blog things (categories, archives, feed) above or below the content just as it looks at smaller widths.
The following themes just make it right but I donāt want to switch to those designs. Just moving my sidebar.

I havenāt tried it out in practice but I believe Halogen by Michael David Designs has a bottom sidebar.

Vitor from weaverthemes came with a solution working at least with the Shift theme: #secondary-content {display:block !important;width: 100%;}
Try the Podium theme from Henk Vrieselaar. These are the options:
I think there is at least one other Henk Vrieselaar theme that has a sidebar which can be at the bottom or the top of the blog post content. Sorry, I donāt remember which one.
The Omnicon theme from 1 Little Designer has a menu button on the top left and a āgearā button on the top right. When you click the gear, the sidebar slides from the right to the left, over the content. Click the gear again and the sidebar disappears. (I used CSS to change the gear icon to a right-facing arrow icon, to better communicate āhey, thereās some more stuff on the right.ā
