[theme: imbalance 2] simple page resize?

A link to your site would help, and a name for the theme you’re using. The CSS for every theme is different.

The theme is imbalance 2

Here’s the site: https://ashesanddiamonds.com/

I’ve already mangled some of the CSS to get it looking like this ??

Thanks,

Well, there’s an element style for the wrapper, setting the width to 1000px. Is that an addition you’ve made?

That’s setting the framework for everything else.

If no width is set, it will default to 100%.

So if you want your display to be 1000px wide and centered, say, you would create a rule that says something like:

#wrapper {
  width: 1000px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

You should really only make alterations to style rules in a Child Theme, of course. Not only does this keep all your changes in one place, but it also protects you against your style sheet being overwritten by a theme update.

There’s also this:

/* fluid grid */
<?php if (!fluidGrid()): ?>
.wrapper { width: 960px; margin: 0 auto; }
<?php else: ?>
.wrapper { margin: 0 40px; }
<?php endif ?>

… in header.php

OK thanks.

I don’t know what a child theme is.

So, I tried your second suggestion but it doesn’t affect the page size.

I can’t find the element style for the wrapper.

Does it look like this: #wrapper ?

It’s not in the stylesheet?

Thanks for you help.

OK I did it.

This is the piece of code that I changed, in the style sheet css:

.entry-content { width: 1200px; margin-left: 50px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; }

Thanks for your help.

Although ideally I would like the page content to stretch to fit the browser window, like the rest of the site does…

Child themes are the only recommended way of making changes to themes. Check out the documentation.

Hello peredur can you please take a lot at my post and respond https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/resizing-page-width-in-modern-sofa-theme?replies=3#post-2653536

I need to change the box size of the left column to be 500, so total page width is 750px which includes the right column.

Thanks for your attention.
