Add this to child theme’s stylesheet:
#wp-admin-bar .padder {width:1097px !important;}
Btw 1097px is a little wide…
Yeah that is what I put in it thinking that would override what was there. When I’m actually done it won’t be that wide but I needed a size that I could tell was actually doing something. However I think there is a !important tag for width already in default.css that may be contributing to the issue.
Originally I just did the edits the default, adminbar, style.css for BuddyPress. But the last update broke all the changes. So now I’m trying to do it through the child theme so it won’t break with a BP update.
Learn to write plugins. It’s tough but will future proof your modifications.
Thanks r-a-y! This worked for me also.
