How do I get the side bar to appear next to content slides in the Aware theme?

In the default set up of the aware theme, the content slides appear across the entire with of the side, with both columns appearing underneath the slides.

I would like to change this so I that the content slides are only as wide as the left column, and have the right column appear next to them. Does anyone know how to do this?

Alternatively, it would be great if I could feature some buttons for volunteering, and donating directly to the right of the content slides. Would this be possible at all?

The Featured Content Sliders are included in the theme via a partial template called _features.html. In Aware, this template is included in the _layout.html file (as pictured below).

To have the Featured Content Sliders appear solely within the left column, as you've described, you would need to remove that partial template from the _layout.html file and instead include it in your _columns_2.html file. (within the left column).

I’m pretty green to .css Krijn van Eeden, but after some tinkering I found the this worked well (in _columns_2.html);

{% if page.features_count &amp;gt; 0 %}
  &lt;div class=".left-column"&gt;
    &lt;div class="padtopmore"&gt;
      &lt;div class="padtopmore"&gt;
        {% include "features" %}
      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
{% endif %}

Krijn — making changes to the width and overall presentation of the featured content slider requires more complicated code changes to your theme’s stylesheets (.scss files).

If that is not something that you feel comfortable doing yourself, I would recommend reaching out to a NationBuilder Expert or Architect for assistance.

Hi Patrick, thanks again.
Your suggestion does work, the only problem is that the images of the slides still spread out across the entire with of the page spreading over the supporter nav.

Is there any way in which I would reset the with of the slides to fit the left column?
