Title: width widgets for wordpress elementor Last modified: February 21, 2022 --- # width widgets for wordpress elementor * Resolved [dso31](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dso31/) * (@dso31) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/width-widgets-for-wordpress-elementor-2/) * Hi, I am new to website creation and I am currently creating a website for my son who is going to open his business in France. This website is currently hosted locally by WampServer and I use WordPress, Elementor and the AERA theme to design it. I have a side widget area that I would like to reduce in order to leave more space for the body of the site. I don’t know how to do it. I suppose that a CSS could help me but as I explained to you, I am a novice. Could you help me? I will add screenshot to help understand. I would also like the widget side area( where the buttons are) to be able to drop down as the person scrolls. Thanks for your help. - This topic was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwidth-widgets-for-wordpress-elementor-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * [Elementor Team](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michellei/) * (@michellei) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/width-widgets-for-wordpress-elementor-2/#post-15386838) * Hi, * Can you please send us a link to the page with the issue? * Thread Starter [dso31](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dso31/) * (@dso31) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/width-widgets-for-wordpress-elementor-2/#post-15386843) * Hi, As mentioned, my site is not yet hosted, it works locally with WampServer while it is being created.

Have you tried to lower the column width, where the widgets are located? so it will be more narrow? * Thread Starter [dso31](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dso31/) * (@dso31) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/width-widgets-for-wordpress-elementor-2/#post-15387841) * Hi This is exactly what I would like to do but I don’t know how to proceed because I don’t see anything in the WordPress / Elementor menu that goes in this direction. Don’t hesitate, if you need more screenshots to ask me.

If you have the option to add the widgets through Elementor column and then move and resize it, that would be best. * If you are looking for a code to add, I suggest going to our Elementor GitHub, as you can ask for code from our developers and other users. * We dont mean to make you feel like that, it is just the fast that we are limited with assisting when its involving a different theme. * Thread Starter [dso31](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dso31/) * (@dso31) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/width-widgets-for-wordpress-elementor-2/#post-15408308) * Hello, Thank you for your answer. I have asked the theme editor and he says that it is possible but they will only tell me if I subscribe to their theme for a fee! I use the theme for free and I don’t plan to buy a theme because I would have no use for it. By Elementor, I don’t see how to add widgets and how to move them to the sidebar of my theme. I will check out Elementor GitHub, thank you.
