 * Hi,
 * I am trying to find a way to change the width of the sidebar on my site.
 * I have enabled the sidebar on my shop page only and added just a single widget
   to show product categories. As you can see from the link provided there is a 
   lot of “whitespace” as the sidebar is too wide.
 * I have tried a number of css overrides but I don’t seem to be able to find/get
   the right combination to reduce the width. Could you please help?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsidebar-width-87%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@parkerchris76](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parkerchris76/),
 * You are almost there. It looks like the main content is set a little short. Your
   sidebar has a width of 15% and a main content area of 70%. I think if you increase
   the width of the main content area so it combines with the sidebar to equal 100%
   you will achieve the effect you are looking for.
 * Try adding the following CSS to your custom CSS panel in the customizer:
 *     ```
       .woocommerce-page .content-area{
         width: 85%;
       }
       ```
   
 * Thanks
