    I’m using this short code:

    [genesis-simple-page-section color=”orange” width=”1200″ outer_css=”” inner_css=””]
    [/genesis-simple-page-section]

    Maybe it’s me, but is the plug-in designed to make the whole page go into full width?

    Even the breadcrumbs are getting full width, not to mention everything inside the .site-inner div.

    Is that the intented purpose of this plug-in?

    I thought it was just to make a section of the page go into full width.

    Can someone please clarify this.

    Yes, that’s what it was designed to do. Sorry it wasn’t clear in the description, I’ll update the text with the next release.

    This plugin basically creates an HTML/CSS workaround/hack to make sections in a theme structure not originally designed for full width content sections. Unfortunately, there are a number of compatibility issues with different themes and structures that I didn’t anticipate when building and testing the plugin.

    In order to make a section go full width, all the enclosing divs need to become full width as well. Unfortunately, I can’t find another way to accomplish it. So if you use this shortcode on a page, it’s best to enclose all of your content on the page within instances of the shortcode.

    I haven’t tested it with breadcrumbs, but unfortunately I think the fix would require some theme-dependent CSS (I believe you would need to set the breadcrumb div to have a specific max-width based on your theme’s layout and margin: 0 auto to center it).

    Thanks for your quick answer, yeah I sort of figured that out. And as you say you need to have all the content inside the shortcode.

    Instead I use my own HTML/CSS, makes it a bit easier for me to control.

    Thanks anyway for your reply.
