    Can anyone help create CSS that will move the footer from the bottom of the page to the right side of the page? I’d like about 20% of the homepage or all pages to be available to widgets.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Have you purchased a premium bundle of upgrades? See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ that contains a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing.

    Have you consulted this support doc? https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

    If you have not purchased the custom design upgrade, then note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.

    You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
    Appearance > Header
    Appearance > Background
    Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
    Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
    Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

    If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

    To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.

    Yes I have purchased the upgrade and have also played around with CSS to change the formatting. The problem is that I can’t come up with the right CSS coding to move the footer-sidebar widget area to the right of the homescreen, beside the posts. I can get the main body of the homescreen (the posts) to take up the amount of space I want (80%), and I can get the widget area to be on the right, taking up 20% of the screen. I just can’t get them to sit side-by-side.

    When you have the CSS upgrade and are able to go into Customize, it doesn’t teach you how to either add a widget area on the sidebar, or how to move the footer area to the sidebar. I think thats the CSS I need. Many forums suggest changing it via function.php, but that’s not an option on newer wordpress blogs as I’ve seen.

    Would you possibly know the CSS to get the footer widget area to the sidebar, so the ratio was 80% body – 20% widget sidebar on the homepage? And have them sit side-by-side?
