Question

I inherited a wordpress e-commerce website from a developer that only half finished the project. I do not know alot about css or php, but I have been able to play around with the coding enough to almost finish the products page. I am having trouble formatting the products page however, the products listing is too wide and is showing below my sidebar instead of next to it. Below is a picture of the page looking OK for product categories, but then incorrectly when it lists the products.

I have played around with the wpsc-default.css file to resolve this simple issue, but the changes I make do not seem to be having any effect with the product list row taking up the whole content area. I tried to change the product display container, from 100% width, but when i updated the file the website still looked the exact same. Below is the code for that file, can someone please point out what I am missing?

Answer 1

This problem has been resolved. I put this code into my style.css file.

wpsc_default_product_list {
float: left;
width: 600px;
}

.wpsc_category_grid {
float: right;
width: 650px;
}
