    Hi,

    I’d like to know if it’s possible to change the width of a footer widget in the twenty-fourteen theme. The widget doesn’t start until after the main content area ends, so there is plenty of room to expand under the content area.

    Also, I noticed that my cool 2014 fonts are gone; I’ve checked two browsers and both fonts are missing in both. What could I have done to lose them?

    site is robertmac.com

    Thanks so much!

    Hi there, on the fonts, I’m seeing Brandon Grotesque set as the header font and Calluna Sans for the body text. Are those the fonts you are talking about? I took a look in your Customizer and in the preview I am not seeing those fonts, but when I visit your site, I am seeing them.

    On the footer widget, currently they are all set at 25% width so that 4 will fit across. If you only wish to use a single widget, yes we can make that full width. I’m not seeing a widget in your footer right now, so I can’t give you specific code, but if you add it and then go to your site and view the source code using the web inspector built into your browser, look the colophon section under footer-sidebar. Inside that section, you will see something like this:
    <aside id="archives-4" class=...
    In this case, archives-4 is the unique widget ID. You can then do like the following. 

    #archives-4 {
width: 100%;
}

    You will need to find the unique ID for the widget and substitute it into the above for archives-4.

    Thanks for the info–I’ll give it a try.

    The font issue seems to have cleared on its own. Maybe my computer was just out of whack?

    The widget isn’t on every page, but it is on each page that shows a post.

    I’m using your link to find my theme’s css, but it’s greek to me.

    Well, I found it and it works. The widget ID is #tag_cloud-2. Thanks!

    I’m sure I’ll have more questions later. : )

    I do have more!

    Is there a way to delete or hide the titles of the images associated with my posts?

    Also, is there a way to make the images in my primary sidebar smaller when they open up? They are huge when clicked on.

    Thanks!

    You could go to Dashboard > Media > Library > Click on any image > Remove the title from Title text box (to the right of the panel). I haven’t tested this though.

    Or you can use this CSS if you don’t want the aforementioned business of editing each image :-) (but you can try for one image just to see if it works).

    body.attachment section.image-attachment article.attachment .entry-title {
    display: none;
}

    Also, is there a way to make the images in my primary sidebar smaller when they open up?

    Please go to Dashboard > Settings > Media > reduce the dimensions of Large size and see if it makes any difference.
