Can the theme background be made full width?

Hi standodd,

You can do this by adjusting the Background Image Preset. Please navigate to your WordPress Admin area and then navigate to Appearance > Customize and open your Background Image settings. Set a Background Image and set Preset to either Fill Screen or Fit to Screen – which one you pick will depend on personal prefernece.

Kind regards,

Thanks, but I don’t have, or want, a background image, I just want a solid white background from edge to edge of the screen.

Hi standodd,

Thank you for clarifying.

Please navigate to Appearance > Customize, Background Image and remove the image (this image is set regardless of whether you set one). Close the Background Image settings and open the Colors settings. Adjust the Background Color as desired.

Kind regards,
Alex

Thanks, I’m almost there after those steps. I also went to theme design, page container, border color and set that to white (to match the background color) and now I have a screen that’s white edge to edge but still a faint border showing around the middle of the page. Is there some CSS that will turn that border off completely, perhaps?

Hi,

You can remove the page container by adding some CSS to your website. Please navigate to either Appearance > Custom CSS or Appearance > Customize, Additional CSS and add the following CSS:

.container #page-container {
  box-shadow: none;
}

Kind regards,
Alex

That’s what I needed! Thanks a lot for your help.
