Change width of content area

  • How do I change the width of the content area so it fills more of the screen? I think I need to change the container width for this but can’t figure it out.

    Also how do I change font sizes?

    Sorry for the basic questions. NOOB but not dumb.

    Thank you!

  • I’m using the Venture theme and have been attempting to change the background column width of the ‘Homeowners’ and ‘Professionals’ column section to full width. I’ve attempted the suggestions from previous replies, but nothing seems to be working. Can you provide some guidance?

    I want to increase the width of the main content & reduce the width of the sidebar.

      I HAVE TRIED BELOW WRITTEN METHOD. BUT IT IS NOT WORKING.

    @robin69, you can do that by modifying the width percentage on the containers with custom CSS in the Appearance > Customize > Custom CSS section.

    For eg:

    @media screen and (min-width: 60em) {
    .has-sidebar .site-main {
    max-width: 70%;
    float: left;
    }
    .has-sidebar .primary-sidebar {
    max-width: 30%;
    float: right;
    }
    }
    Adjust the percentage numbers on the max-width rule as you see fit. Default is 66-33.

    This posting is totally confusing, because the first question that should have been in the first response is:

    1.) Are you using a child enabled theme version or not?

    Why?

    If child emabled, then all changes would be in the style.css of the child extension to your theme.

    Next question should be:

    2.) If you are not using a parent-child theme, do you have a customizer plugin installed?

    Then and only then will you use custom.css! Additionlly the contributors to this post assume you know everything about custom.css so do not explain:

    a.) Where it is,
    b.) How it is used,
    c.) How to FTP it from your computer if it is non-existant on your website theme,
    d.) What tutorials are available on it, as it can change all settings on your pages.

    Cheers!

    Hi, I successfully built a site with another site builder and it was so easy to drag / drop / insert / delete / change size all available with the right click button and all on the screen so you can see what you are doing, BUT the hosting was not compatible with my domain, so had to change service provider. Sorry but I am very frustrated with WordPress as a new user – EVERYTHING is difficult – why must I learn how to type code to change a simple Container box size, or for that matter the size of any row height or text? It seems it doesn’t have even have the std font Arial? The CSS code is never complete in your forums and I am searching how to change the following:
    Site Title container box size
    Site Tagline text size and container box size
    Widget must only appear on the contact page not on all pages
    Lighten Background picture with a filter
    Custom position background
    I have watched videos and it seems the theme and plugins determines drag / drop / insert / delete / change size. Shouldn’t that be std features on a builder? Very unhappy.

    Can someone help me please?

    I hid the titles of all pages in my website using this code: 

    .entry-title {
display: none;
}
.container {
	margin-top: 0 px;
}

    But I still have a big gap on top part of the container

    How can I remove this space?

    Please Help,

    i need to make the Contact form fields to be width: 1000px some help me with the CSS code. Thanks
