Either way, I think you will need to create a custom template with a 3-column layout…this would of course mean making a child theme. * Not sure what you mean by setting widths independently, you mean on a per-user basis or globally for that layout? * Thread Starter [satbox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asfda54fz78f4/) * (@asfda54fz78f4) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebars-only-template/#post-8859234) * In effect make it into a three column template for a page, with the ability to alter the widths of the columns. * Theme Author [Shaped Pixels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shaped-pixels/) * (@shaped-pixels) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebars-only-template/#post-8859246) * You would have to code in settings to adjust the widths if this is to have a function for different pages that uses that 3-column layout. Overall, you’re looking at some work. * This theme already has a three column (Left + Content + right) template available, so if you want to have the ability to change the widths, say, from the customizer, again you will have some coding work to do. * The template layouts uses Bootstrap 3.3.4, so the columns use percent as width. [http://getbootstrap.com](http://getbootstrap.com) * Details for the grid and how it works: [http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid](http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid) * You can of course, adjust the column classes by modifying the template files in a child theme. The files you would look at are: * – archive.php – index.php – author.php – page.php – single.php – and then the page templates in the /page-templates/ folder of the theme. - This reply was modified 9 years, 3 months ago by [Shaped Pixels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shaped-pixels/). * Thread Starter [satbox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asfda54fz78f4/) * (@asfda54fz78f4) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebars-only-template/#post-8859254) * Thanks for that, I’m on a pretty steep learning curve here. I’ll have to see what I can do without coding, no time for extra work at the moment. * Theme Author [Shaped Pixels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shaped-pixels/) * (@shaped-pixels) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebars-only-template/#post-8859272) * No worries…at best, you still have the three-column page template available. Was there a specific width that you wanted the columns? * Thread Starter [satbox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asfda54fz78f4/) * (@asfda54fz78f4) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebars-only-template/#post-8859306) * I’ve inherited a client who has your Longevity theme and whose site was hacked by a defacement attack. * Since that happened the client asked me to overhaul the site and I’m doing that on the fly. I host and manage sites. * Was thinking about using a page builder maybe Site Origin on the sidebars only template? * Theme Author [Shaped Pixels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shaped-pixels/) * (@shaped-pixels) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebars-only-template/#post-8859312) * Using a page builder is another option, so that is one you could try as it does allow layout creation and you can adjust the columns then. * Sorry to hear about the hack…unfortunately there is not one site online that is 100% safe. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again. * One thing that just came to memory, is that this theme does have a page builder template available. With a page open in the editor, select that template and use the page builder to create the rest of the content area. - This reply was modified 9 years, 3 months ago by [Shaped Pixels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shaped-pixels/). * Thread Starter [satbox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asfda54fz78f4/) * (@asfda54fz78f4) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sidebars-only-template/#post-8859318) * Not getting into my baby, security is top of the list for me as host.
