I’m not as versed in code as Andrew, but I wonder is this related to my issue?

Posted the below in the TwentyTwentyTwo forum:

My original question:

Thanks in advance. I searched this forum but didn’t find my answer. At least not how I worded it.

I’m trying to build a static site at the link. I wish I knew which page is designated as the default, then I think I could change that one and let all others inherit.

I have gone through every template and changed the content block width to 940, but still some pages do and some pages don’t. Or at least, that’s what I thought I was doing.

See here is certainly wider than 940: https://clareking.net/638-2/case-study-posters/

But this one seems correct: https://clareking.net/logos-illustrative/logos/

I have a few more pages to build. But I’d like to know what I’m doing wrong before I go much further.

The page I need help with: https://clareking.net/

Looking at your site it appears there is a plugin called “PDF Embedder” that has it’s own CSS stylesheet which is overriding the core content width, on those pages that have a PDF file embedded.

This is the core WordPress CSS:

.wp-container-6 > :where(:not(.alignleft):not(.alignright)) {
max-width: 940px;
}
And this is the PDF Embedder CSS that is overrriding the maximum width:

.entry-content > :not(.alignwide):not(.alignfull):not(.alignleft):not(.alignright):not(.wp-block-separator):not(.woocommerce),
.entry-content > .wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer {
max-width: none;
}
It may be worth asking the creators of that plugin for help with this issue, pointing them to this topic so they can see the CSS that is breaking the content width.

Thanks!

Thanks so much, uxl.

I will try that. I’m using the free version of the plug in. Maybe the paid version has a method to constrain the size.

Clare

Thanks Mike>

I did install that plugin before I switched themes. But why doesn’t apply it to all the images?

Clare

Thanks Alvaro!
Yes, you must select the text in order to see it in the drop down.

What is the purpose of the # in the link instead of leaving it blank?

And there is a downside to this solution. On the phone, when you view the navigation it looks completely different and confusing when your phone is vertical.

Eventually all but my About link will have sublinks.

So… if you see the screen shot I’ve linked, the links are presented as a list, but the list has a huge gap between the parent link and the sublinks. I would think the gap would serve better between the unrelated links.

For instance:

Posters

Booklets & Brochures

Logos & Illustrative
Logos
Illustrative

Motion
Motion 1
Motion 2
Motion 3

etc…

And when I click the parent link (is that the true terminology for this?) it takes me to the home page.

SO, I think I would be prudent to go ahead and link the page and provide the sublinks in there for mobile users who go astray.

I was hoping to learn some wordpress with this exercise but so far I’m learning that DreamWeaver is pretty easy to use. LOL

Thanks again.

Actually, I had a notion and it seems to have worked. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before.

I simply deleted the link associated with the original Social nav item. I still have the page Social, but no link to get there.

Let me know if there is some reason not to use that method.

Thanks! I’ll do that. It didn’t occur to me that there would be a forum for a specific theme, but in retrospect, OF course there would be.

Learning every day. ??

I figured this out through trial an error.

And I’m sorry. My service provider messed me up and I had to move my site to another server company, so you maybe never even saw what I was talking about.

ANYHOW!

Two things were wrong.

One:
The plug in was displaying layers that were hidden in the original Illustrator document when they were saved as PDF.

Suppose I’m creating t-shirts for everyone on the team with their name using Illustrator. The design of the t-shirt is on its own layer, a new layer for every team member. Export, hide/show layer, export hide/show layer. Well, although printed or viewed on blogspot or view with preview or reader, the hidden layers remain hidden. This plug in can see them and displays those hidden layers.

Two:
Some of the pdfs that I had made for print in Illustrator with CMYK color settings revealed themselves strangely with the pdf viewer. Never happened anywhere else that I have viewed them digitally. After I changed them to RGB they displayed appropriately.

It was tedious but I fixed all my files in illustrator and re-saved them as PDF.

Thought you might want to know in case someone else has trouble with this.

Here’s an even weirder one.

Here it is on blogspot.

I opened up the original and, indeed, there was a hidden layer in the original from a previous iteration. I have deleted that layer and will fix the post after someone has looked at this wierdness.
