    Hi Mr TA
    Again nice to hear from u…
    as a programmer myself….altho on another platform(visual basic)
    I too realize how important feedback can be….you can make your product better.
    I realize that can help u w/ur your pro version. I wish you the best w/that by the way.

    I like talking w/u. I hope the feeling is mutual..u are very reliable…I appreciate that.
    Reading ur last 4 posts…I’m a bit unsure how I should proceed.
    I got the notification of your update….at the beginning I didn’t create a child theme.
    so today I tried to download a complete backup of my web page via FileZilla.
    It took hours…even then I was not sure if it was complete.

    I’ve read that installing an update of a theme can lead to losing ur custom changes.
    I don’t know how accurate that is….but it still makes me nervous.
    My web page is at the very beginning…it’s not very complex.
    So I think I’ll just manually download the content pages & save them.
    Where would I find the sidemenu content file?…& is saving the database relevant?
    as soon as I have that done I’ll install ur update…
    then let’s go from there….if u have any alternate suggestions..much appreciated.
    thanx..alan

    manually…..I use a Toshiba laptop & an acer tablet…
    proportionatly what is visible is the same on both devices
    while manually changing the browser width. (internet explorer windows 10)

    hi Mr TA
    thanx again for your feedback.
    I got the sidebar to the width I want.
    It’s a bit tough to try & describe what I would like to
    change in the content width. if the browser width is say
    half the screen then the sidebar is not visible the menu is a dropdown.
    when I increase the width of the browser at some point the sidebar
    becomes visible but without content. further increasing the width
    at roughly 3/4 of the screenwidth the sidebar content becomes visible.
    Is there a way to make the sidebar content appear when browser width
    is roughly 2/3 of the screen…..I hope u can follow what it is
    I would like to able to do. my page content is not wide enough to use
    all the space the width provides….(roughly only 2/3).
    thanx…..alan

    hi mr ta
    u wrote:
    “You said you cannot get the menu width smaller than 20%. Also, when you say menu width, I am assuming you are referring to the side column width? I need to make sure this is what you are referring to? The menu itself does not have a width applied to it, but the left side column does.”
    Yes I’m referring to the side column width. can the width not get smaller
    because @media (min-width: 48em)?….can I safely change the min width?
    I’m sorry I’m really confused about all of this….
    thanx…alan…..I think the morph L will work for me…just need to understand the deatils

    hi mr ta
    I’m old school….I programmed my own web page but that was back in 2006.
    a lot has changed since then(to the better I may add)…
    u don’t have to keep reinventing the wheel.
    the music app that I want to publicize I started back in 1997!

    Ok I understood the thing about the code…I saw the button here on the reply editor.
    yes I actually thought the commands may have to be written together…
    but I didn’t want to experiment….thanx for ur idea on that…
    what I don’t understand is….there must be a lot of possibilities to change the
    css code….I thought the simple css was just the vehicle to change the code….
    what happens to the old code when I want to change something else…..
    or do then all changes have to be written together?…..ah….that would make sense.

    ok getting back to the web page….it seems I can’t get the menu width smaller than 20%.
    I’m constantly struggling to keep all of the apps I need visible & accessable.
    the width of the menu is still too wide for my needs….but worse is the width of the content.
    I have the ability to format my content to a width that I think is needed.
    & on my web page there is so much wasted space on the right side.
    vertical content is not a problem because of scrolling….horizontal is.
    I hope u can understand my issues w/this…any suggestions welcome….thanx….alan

    hi mr ta
    in appearance Simple Custom CSS I pasted the code….
    @media (min-width: 48em) {
    .sidebar {
    width: 20%;
    }
    .site-content {
    margin-left: 20%;
    }
    }

    @media (min-width: 68em) {
    .sidebar {
    width: 18%;
    }
    .site-content {
    margin-left:18%;
    }
    }
    then I pressed update custom css….ok done
    then I removed the content and pasted
    .main-navigation {
    text-transform: none;
    text-align: left;
    }
    then I pressed update custom css….ok done
    it was left and not capped but the width went back to 30 percent.
    when I reset width….again it was capped and centered.
    doing something wrong but not sure what…
    I looked at trying to create a child theme…
    but not sure how to do that with out losing my work.
    where should I go from here….what do u think?
    thanx…..alan

    the menu width is set at 20% just now…capped & centered
    when I set left & no caps the width is reset to 30% & centered

    hi mr ta
    Not centered and not capitalized worked
    but when I reset the menu width from 30 to 20%…
    the text is again capped & centered….
    doing Not centered and not capitalized again…
    & the width is back at 30%……
    so there’s something inherently wrong in the programming.
    it seems to me not a good idea to automatically cap the text…
    if the user wants all caps he can write it that way in the menu editor.
    hope u can find a fix.
    thanx alan
