Update, i have found how i can do this by altering the functions.php page with this:

$GLOBALS[‘content_width’] = 1200;

this updates all pages on the site though ( as expected).

Is there a way to have the main column wider in only one page? Im using the “graphy” theme: https://www.ads-software.com/themes/graphy

But this is an issue in all themes i have tried.

Thanks!

No, you misunderstand. I found that section. the section that is missing is:

I go to one of my existing pages.
There should be tick box for enabling/disabling comments below the page editor. this tick box is not there.

Im basically trying to remove the “add comment” section from my home page.

im currently using “Twenty fourteen”

thanks.
There is no section for “comments for your posts/pages in the “discussion” box below the editor”.

when i edit or create a new page, this there is no checkbox to allow disabling of discussions at all.

Fixed using a backup of my site!

Ive managed to completely break my blog.

I moved wordpress back to the /blog subdirectory (so external links to my blog would still work).

I can access my control panel, but my site (www.fintangphotography.com/blog) is just comming up as completely blank.

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!

Ive managed to move wordpress to my root directory.
My blogs are now acccessable in the root directory, https://www.fintangphotography.com

how do i make sure my blogs are accessable at a subdirecory https://www.fintangphotography.com/blog

Thanks guys.

To give background on what i want to do:
I have installed wodpress in https://www.fintangphotography.com/blog directory.
Now, I want to set up a site on the root, while keeping the blog in the /blog sub directory, and use teh same wordpress install for both the site and blog.

I followed the instructions in this link(https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory), but once i change the Site Address URL to https://www.fintangphotography.com in wordpress settings, my blog is not found (404 error). I followed all the steps but i still got the 404 error.
once i changed teh Site Address URL back to https://www.fintangphotography.com/blog the blog works again.

So i am not sure how to get to a final state where I have a site at teh root, the blog is accessible via the subdirectory /blog and both can be managed via the one wordpress install.

No, my blog works now.

Blog is located at https://www.fintangphotography.com/blog

But i want to upload a theme that has my main website page at https://www.fintangphotography.com, but with the blog in the subdirecory /blog (https://www.fintangphotography.com/blog). Getting this configuration is what i am struggling with.

thanks!

Im reading through that but i cannot find how to ensure that:

1. my site can be moved to the domain root url https://www.fintangphotography.com.
2. the blog stays in the subdirectory /blog (https://www.fintangphotography.com/blog)

I would appreciate any help/advice you can provide regarding this.
Thanks a mil!

Managed to fix this!

Had to manually update the siteurl value in the database.
