  • what is your screen resolution?

    consider what most of your users will see:

    changing the overall width of a theme needs editing style.css and adpating quite a few of the styles – and requires quite a good knowledge of css.

    possibly try to use a tool such as Firebug to identify the involved css selectors; https://getfirebug.com/

    helping with pure formatting problems is not really within the main scope of this forum.

    Thank you very much for the help !
    My screen resolution is 1366×768

    I actually made my page width bigger using the following method.

    I edited the images in the wp-Creativix/images directory and made them all 100 pixels wider.

    These are the png files center-column,sub-top etc.

    Copy the images folder to your PC, then create wide version of these files in a separate directory. You will have to copy them back after a them update.

    You also need to edit style.php in the wp-Creativix directory.

    Again I saved this in anotehr directory to copy back after an update.

    The changes are mostly adding 100 to the width parameter for different components. There are quite a lot of them.

    eg change

    #wrapper {
    width:925px;
    margin:0 auto;
    }

    to

    #wrapper {
    width:1025px;
    margin:0 auto;
    }

    I can send you the files if you like.
