Hi, I was using the Design Assistant to easily change the layout of my 2 column blog from Wide-Thin to Wide-Medium.

However when I go to the drop down in the Portland Theme the suggested Wide-Medium option isn't in the drop down.

In fact none of the different themes have any options with show Wide-Medium.

Medium does not appear anywhere.

I notice I am using 4.12 - is it possible this was fixed in 4.2?

many thanks!

You have to set medium - wide in the template

add the following to your header module

CODE

The value can be one of the following.

CODE

layout-wtt <-- Wide, Thin, Thin
layout-twt <-- Thin, Wide, Thin
layout-wt <-- Wide, Thin
layout-tw <-- Thin, Wide
layout-wm <-- Wide, Medium
layout-mw <-- Medium, Wide

You can use conditional tags in the header to change the value depend on type etc
