  I’ve left this topic over in Widgets forum too. Didn’t know which place would have been the proper one to put it in.

  Here’s a pic link – Green -Current – Proposed Red Text Scroll around search widget

  Can I get the text – that I think is in the body of the page – to scroll around the search widget once or if the text content is large enough?

  I’d like the text to follow the RED outline in the picture. It currently follows the GREEN outline.

  Hi there,

  You can achieve the result you want. It will be done by changing the theme page layout. It cannot be achieved through simply customizing CSS.

  For that you can create child theme and upload in theme section.

  Hi there,

  That’s not possible with CSS as the widgets area is a completely different section of the site. You could choose a full-width theme or even remove the widgets area completely and expand the main text area there. But wrapping text around a widget it’s not possible.

  Thanks fstat – what about the ‘child theme’ suggestion – does that hold any merit?

  Nevermind – I’m googling it now and reading up on it.

  I’ll mark this resolved.
