Making WordPress “Classic” a fixed width?

The possibility is there… you have a <div id="rap"> starting in the header.php and ending in the footer.php.

Define the width of the
#rap {width: XXXpx;}
in the stylesheet.

No guarantees, but it may work.

Hmmm.. I tried it, but it didn’t work.

It does shrink the main content part, but it doesn’t do anything to the far right sidebar, it’s still on the far right. Also I need to find a way to center the entire thing, the main content part is all the way on the far left.

Why don’t you get a theme that already does what you want?

Well, I was looking for one that is similar to Kotaku, since I liked the set up on that one, very clean. I’ve looked through a ton of themes, and have’nt found any that are similar to that in style.

I had to work to make this fixed for my company as they had already set everything up in it.

Doing the rap didn’t work for me, but this is what I did.

In the style sheet:

I put a fixed px width for the body tag.

The sidebar already is positioned absolute, but it doesn’t have a px placement for the left side so I added that (ie left: 860px;)

Sorry, I forgot to say that I also added this to the body tag:

position: relative;
        margin-left: auto;
        margin-right: auto;

My site uses the classic and is a fixed width. In the style sheet I changed #headerimg, #page, #header, #footer to a fixed width.

I changed #sidebar and widecolumn to add up to the fixed width.

The position of the widecolumn is done here as I recall

.widecolumn {
	padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
	margin: 0px 0px 0px 100px;
	width: 700px;
