Hello! I am trying to setup a page that has a left sidebar and information in two columns. I started out with the content in three columns. Once I added the sidebar, I needed to take the content down to two. I am not getting the columns to display correctly.
Then, with the side bar being shorter than the content columns, is there a way to not let the text display under the sidebar?
Can you help?
Thank you!!!!
Sorry, tried to add the code in the original message and didn't realize I needed to do it differently so it would show. Added below. I tried to edit the message and it gave me a message that I needed to renew my license.

Hello,
There are several HTML Validation errors on your Page: https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddingtondesign.com%2Fnew%2Fwhat-we-offer.php which is causing these errors as normally it should fine. Please fix all the errors and then check your Page again on the Validator to see if any more errors exist. Fix all of them till there are no errors and your issue should be automatically fixed.
Hope this Helps!
Let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues.
Thank you for your help.
I have fixed all but one error.
Bad value https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,400,400i,700|Raleway:300,400,500,600,700|Crete+Round:400i for attribute href on element link: Illegal character in query: | is not allowed.
I am not sure what to do with it, as the string is used in the header of your templates. I have checked several templates and they are all the same. I checked the page http://themes.semicolonweb.com/html/canvas/services-3.html in the Validator and it too has the same error, plus another.
With all but the one error fixed, the page is still not displaying correctly. Any other suggestions?
Thank you!

Hello,
You can definitely ignore this error. The important errors to fix are the ones where it says Unclosed Tags or Duplicate IDs.
Now coming back to your error, the Grid you are using is incorrect and not in accordance to the Default Templates as provided with Canvas. Please make sure that you always add your Content inside a .postcontent Container whenever you use a Sidebar on a Page. Please follow the default coding structure as in the left-sidebar.html Template. Example:
.. your content here
...
This will definitely work fine. Hope this Helps!

Thank you very much. The side bar is now working as it should. I am still having trouble getting down to two columns. Any suggestions for that?
Hello,
The Column Codes you are using is incorrect. To make your Content to display into 2 Columns, replace .col_one_third Classes with the .col_half Class.
Also make sure that you have completely followed the Documentation > Page Elements > Grid Section for full instructions on using the Grid Columns.
Hope this Helps!
Let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues.
Thank you! I had tried col_half, but didn't work and more than likely due to the other errors I had on the page.
Really love the template and all the help!
