[Theme: Bombax] Center

having the same problem. Can’t find any answers on WP forums.

The obvious solution (in my child theme css file) would seem to be:
body {margin: 0 auto;}
but this doesn’t have any effect.

The traditional way to center the entire page is to use CSS like this:

body {
	text-align: center;
}
.wrap {
	margin: 0 auto;
	text-align: left;
}

The idea of the above code is to center everything in the body of the page; Then you need to normalize the wrap so that everything is left-aligned.

Please use a custom.css file to use this code which can be linked. If you know which file to use to link the custom.css then please let me know because I don’t know this.

Please post back with further info.

Thanks for the suggestion playing2012, but Bombax already includes text-align: center in the body tag. Also, Bombax uses body in the same way most themes use wrap — in this case Bombax is customizable via the admin gui, and I’ve set the maximum width for the page to 1000px, and Bombax outputs the css:

body {
   text-align: center;
   max width: 1000px;
   margin: 0 auto; /*added by me in the child theme<strong>EDIT:see below</strong>*/
}

however the whole page still sits hard against the left side of the monitor.

NEVERMIND I’m just an idiot ??

looking closer at my actual code after I wrote the above, I discovered in my child theme I had written:
#body {margin: 0 auto;} (as an id, rather than just the body tag)

Thanks for the help playing2012, and now I feel bad for hijacking ctec67’s thread!

(tl;dr – resolved for me, however I can’t speak for ctec67)

I’m having the same problem with Bombax, I am new to WordPress and CSS. Any help in newbie terms would be appreciated!

Never mind, figured it out:

body { margin: 0 auto; }

in style.css
