posts not filling the width of the content area

    Hi, I have an issue with my posts. When you land on the initial page everything is fine, however when you click into an individual post the content doesn’t fill the width of the content area and even rescales my image down by 150px or so. Can anyone suggest what is causing this? It’s got me pretty confused. This seems to be happening within the WordPress admin content box itself and not a CSS issue. Any help would be much appreciated.

  • No, it appears to be a CSS issue.
    You may want to modify your style in a child Theme.
    In line 81:
    `#primary {
    float: left;
    width: 680px;
    }`
    You may want to make this width larger.

    Also you may want to add text-align: justify.

    Let me know if you need help to implement these changes.

    Hi Marvin,

    No luck unfortunately. Do you have any other ideas?

    caused by these styles:

    .singular .entry-header,
.singular .entry-content,
.singular footer.entry-meta,
.singular #comments-title {
	margin: 20px 0 0 20px;
	width: 68.9%;
}

    in connection with the restricted width of #primary, as @marv51 already mentioned.

    btw:
    strongly consider to create a child theme of Twenty Eleven https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes, if you like to keep the customisations during the next upgrade of your theme.

    Thanks for the advice about the child themes. I will definetely do this. I’m a WordPress beginner and there is so much to learn!

    Thanks again also Marvin.
