This is what I use and would recommend you use for the sidebar.

Adding information to the headers, should do the trick. Admin > Structure > Headers & Footers.
Main header.

<center>
Put whatever you want here <br /> tags use them for line spaces.
</center>

It worked but how can I make it bigger also with colors? Also is it possible for it to have like a white background with the words?

Hey, Joseph,
It is always wise to provide a link to your site so we can visually see what went wrong. In the side bar plug in you should have an option for the width. Just click on the left or right side bar tabs and there should be a width option. The side tables are made to pick up your theme colors but if you want to override those colors you can add some css and you can just put it in the first side table content box above your content:

Admin > Plugins> Manage> Sidebar Redux Settings>

<style>
.container>.content{background-color:#ffffff;
}
</style>

You did install the side bar plug-in, correct? I don't see the sde tables on your forum.  Thanks for the link, btw.

If you did install it, if you go to: Admin> Plugins> Manage> you'll see your plug-ins listed. Click on the Sidebar Redux and you should have some tabs up top. Click on the left side bar tab (or right if you want right side tables) and you should see the width and the content box. The content box is where you add your content and the css I gave you.


I tried to explain it a bit different. Does that help?

To edit the texts in the headers section. (Your text that you put in your main header.)

Try this. <div align="center" style="background:white; padding:5px; font-family:georgia; font-size:12px; text-align:center; color:black;">Put your information here.</div>

by going to Admin > Structure > Headers & Footers. Main header.

Also: change any of the font styles to whatever you want, I just put examples for you on how to style your html text.

I don't know if you are replying to Welshling or me. Typically you can just add bold tags around the text:

<b>Text to be bold</b>

If you were referring to Welshlings html it you would add the blue:

<div align="center" style="background:white; padding:5px; font-family:georgia; font-size:12px; text-align:center; color:black; font-weight:bold;">Put your information here.</div>

If you do a search for a clock they should provide you with a code. You should be able to just add it to one of your side tables or even in your headers/footers.
