text cut off

  • a few readers have told me that the texts of my posts is cut off on the side.
    website is https://www.midnightblueeelphant.com

    i have a picture of it if that helps.
    i am using the following code to make each post content wider:
    <div class=”wide-content”>
    </div>

    however, i am not sure if that is the problem as for most readers it works fine.

    any ideas how to fix this?

    thank you11

    you have this set in the css

    p.summary
{
  max-width: 640px;
}

    this is chopping the content. set it to something bigger.

    Thanks, Jack! Sorry, because I am a Css newbie – where do I find it exactly? Style Sheet? Can I just change it to say 1000px (which my images are)?

    hopefully you’re using a child theme to make any changes so in there you’ll have a file called style.css and you can just add it in there. if you’re not using a child theme then you can still change it in the theme’s style.css file, if you’re willing to scour the code to find that selector then you can change it there.

    i’d change the max width on that element to about 780px rather than 1000px. you’ve got some margin/padding on the left and so it makes stylistic sense to leave a little bit of breathing room on the right too.
