[Theme: Oxygen] Increasing width on posts

Hi Ed – maybe we can get this back on track. Can you deactivate the caching and minify plugins for a bit – that will make it much easier to make changes to your site. And then go ahead and switch to the child theme.

OK i deactivated the plug in and am using the child theme

After activating child theme to oxygen my site was all a mess. I tryd a lot of things, manually and I could not find the error.

I decided to try installing Child Theme with the plugin “One-click Child Theme”. It did worked and SOLVED the problem. Now the site looks the same as in standard theme.

Now there is another file in child theme folder. It’s named RTL Stylesheet (rtl.css) and has the code:
/*
Theme Name: OxygenChild
Template:

Right to Left text support.
*/
@import url(“../twentyeleven/rtl.css”);

Style.css looks the same like my old one.

So .. I recommend the plugin, at least for this theme.

Hi, thanks for the fix @worthingtech.

The only issue I have now is that the header image of the posts stays at the original width. Is there a solution for that?

I think you can resolve this by:

1. first inserting this code in your child theme:
.hentry .archive-thumbnail {
width: XXXpx;
height: YYYpx;
}
You will have to put the new width of your content space (instead of XXX and YYY).

2. For changes to work, you have to change the sizes of your thumbnails. You can do this in Settings – Media (in dashboard). Again, here at thumbnail, you have to put your new XXX and YYY measures.
Probably this changes are good just for images inserted from this point forward.

3. For changes to older posts, you have to force your theme to change your old thumbnails. (For every image inserted in media, the theme has saved some variations of the image cropping it in thumbnails.)
I successfully solve this with a plugin: Force Regenerate Thumbnails. This plugin will help you converting your old thumbnails to new measures.

4. If this do not work, you have to delete some lines in the blog pages .php. (index.php or Blog Page Template(page-template-blog.php))

Hope I understood the problem and this will help.
