Hello Good Morning!
Thank you for responding.
I filled them out above. No matter what I change them to, they do not change.
I want to make the red area smaller. Like maybe only 100 to 150 PX wide.
Can you help me?.

Thanks again.

The standard zencart template consists of:

------------------------- HEADER --------------------------

LEFT COLUMN --- CENTRE COLUMN --- RIGHT COLUMN

------------------------- FOOTER --------------------------

These are encased within the MAINWRAPPER...

The various column widths are RELATIVE to each other, AND relative to the Main Wrapper width...

If your MAIN WRAPPER is 750px wide, and
Your LEFT COLUMN is 150 px wide, and
Your RIGHT COLUMN is 100px wide...

Your CENTRE COLUMN will be 750 - (150+100) px wide = 500px.

-------------------------------------------

IF you want your LEFT and RIGHT columns to remain as they are (150 and 100), but you want your CENTRE COLUMN to be 600 instead of 500, then you must increase your MAIN WRAPPER by 100 px - (from 750 to 850).

WHEN your MAIN WRAPPER is 850px wide, and
Your LEFT COLUMN is 150 px wide, and
Your RIGHT COLUMN is 100px wide...

Your CENTRE COLUMN will be 850 - (150+100) px wide = 600px

... but remember... Your HEADER logos will be affected too. Because header is encased in MainWrapper...

If your logo and/or header_bg was 750px wide, you may need to increase their width to 800px to prevent them from "tiling".

Thanks for responding.
I am so lost.
The designer bailed on me so she did this stuff.

How do I get there?
Where is the wrapper Located?

Look for #mainWrapper in your stylesheet

[schoolboy]

Your HTML source reveals:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/mtemplate/css/stylesheet-OLD8.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/mtemplate/css/stylesheet.css" />


Which means you have 2 stylesheets competing with each other.

I have also tried an offline edit of stylesheet.css, but the right column is still nudging over the mainwrapper edges.

What other files have been edited?

I also believe that your ZC version is 1.3.0.2 (or around that version) so it is very old.

Your images are also loading very slowly...

There seems to be a large number of issues with your current site and its settings. I suggest you get hold of your designer to discuss these - and I would strongly recommend an upgrade...
