Hey all,
I need to develop a site for a client with the sidebar left. I wonder if there is a simple way to switch positions of primary content and the sidebar?
Cheers!
Use push/pull or cut and paste to rearrange their order in base.php.

Excellent! Rearranging base.php worked (basically moving the sidebar code inside content and before main). From your experience, which would be the preferable way to go about it, is there a downside to any one of them?
It depends on the design and the content.
From what you’ve described, I would use the push/pull to keep the sidebar after the main content on mobile. Of course if you have nav elements in the sidebar you may want that first, making the cut/paste more appropriate.
You may also want to check for any related Bootstrap issues, especially if you are supporting older browsers.
+1 to the post above, when moving to mobile where everything stacks I’d probably want to keep the main copy up top most of the time so in that case I would use bootstrap’s push/pull.
Thanks guys, i’ll check out the push/pull option.
Sorry to bump this old thread, but I am also trying to see what the best option is to move the sidebar from the right to the left.
I tried the push/pull method mentioned above, but it also pushes/pulls my home page - which is not good, because there isn’t even a sidebar on the homepage. Has anyone made this work?
I also can’t unfortunately have the sidebar display above the main content of a page in mobile view, so it seems I have to make the push/pull method work if I am going to make this happen at all.
Thank you!
