Full Width

Hello,

It seems that the div.content-area section of your page is relatively narrow. You can easily override this with some CSS. A quick and dirty fix is to simply use:

div#primary.content-area {
    width: 100% !important;
}

You can get away without the !important flag, but there are media queries that will adjust the width based on the width of the viewport. Using the flag ensures that the div is the width of the parent div. Of course if you want it wider, you could then make the parent div even wider.

I hope this is helpful.

Cheers.

hey! thanks this is helpful!

Could you please instruct me how to make the parent div wider?

thanks again!

The parent div is a Bootstrap container that has a width of 1170px. If you elect to change the width of all elements with the container class, then it could have unintended ramifications. That said, the div in question also has some other attributes that we can use, in this case:

div#content.site-content {
    width: 100% !important; /* Or whatever arbitrary width you want */
}

You could also specify a max-width so it doesn’t look weird on really large displays.

Hmmmm…. I don’t think I want to change the width of all elements with the container class, as I do not want unintended consequences.

Is there another solution to get it a bit wider? For example, is it possible to expand the width over 100%? Say 110%

I tried doing this but no avail. I wonder if there is another “safe” work around I might be able to use?

Thanks!

I think you may have slightly misunderstood, the above CSS is for only the one container as it has other attributes so adding the above won’t affect any other containers. Try it and see if it works for you. If not, then you can undo it and try something else.

Cheers.

oh okay. well I entered this:

div#content.site-content {
	width: 100% !important;
/* 1170 */
}

and I’m unsure if it is what you meant? But nothing happened?

i dont need/want the container to be gone entirely, just for it to take up more of the page. ideally, i would like for my single container to begin and end at the left most and right most side of this preview: https://www.ads-software.com/themes/amadeus/

Any other suggestions for how to do this?

thanks!
