How to Increase the width of my posts?

  • Hi guys, I want to increase the width of my posts. I dont want to change the look of the homepage. The change i need is to use the non-used are at the left side when i open a single post.

    You can view my blog here : https://www.bloggingarchive.com

    You can view a single post on m blog here so you will have an idea of what i’m talking about : https://bloggingarchive.com/your-guide-to-writing-content-on-your-blog/

    you will notice a floating social bar plugin for the posts, i will remove it and i want to use that space to increase the width of the post’s text area (But i dont need to change the width of the side bar)

    BTW i’m using the Textured theme of mythemeshop.

  • Hi chandima,

    Try adding this to the child theme style.css file

    .main-container {
    width: 1140px;
    margin-left: 120px;
}

.article {
    width: 70%;
}

.sidebar.c-4-12 {
    width: 25%;
}

    NOTE: I assume that you want these value. So play around with these value until you get your desired result. You can increase or decrease these value as you want.
    With margin-left, you should translate it into % like 5% or anything you want. This will make your site more responsive.

    Good luck!

    Hi chandima,

    You should make a child theme and then all your customization should add to that.

    To create child theme, you could read this article
