Thanks for the theme – is it possible to change the background colour of the sidebar(s) and make it continue to the bottom of the page? At th moment when I add a background colour via custom css- the background colour doesn’t fill the entire sidebar, only up until the last widget.

Many thanks for any suggestions.

You can add this code to make the content and sidebar the same height.
```
#main {
   display: flex;
}
```

Thank you – this did make them the same height – unfortunately both sidebars now appear on the right hand side of the page, is there a way to stop this from happening?

Thank you.

Remove the CSS code above then add this on a child-theme functions.php
```
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'ra_same_height_script' );

function ra_same_height_script() {
?>	
<script>
   jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
      var height = Math.max($("#content").height(), $("#sidebar-left").height(), $("#sidebar-right").height());
      $("#content").height(height);
      $("#sidebar-left").height(height);
      $("#sidebar-right").height(height);
   });
</script>
<?php
}
```
