    Hey. I’m trying to set the text width and alignment on a page without affecting any of the other elements (e.g images, parallax images, menus, headers etc).

    Previous attempts at using CSS have done this but have affected all the other page elements as well.

    Here is what I have so far.

    The text stretches all the way across the page instead of being more narrow and aligned to the left as I want. The pictures,however, are all fine.

    I’m getting a page not found error from that link. Do you have another one I could look at?

    If you just want to affect the text then you’ll want to add this code to your CSS file:

    #section-2 p {
    margin: ?????;
    padding: ?????;
    }

    That will target just the paragraphs in the content section of your theme.

    You will of course need to adjust the margin and/or padding values to your taste.

    Thanks for help, although this code does not seem to have any effect on the paragraph – even if I adjust the margin and padding values.
