Sela theme – Widening content area? other issues

    Hello! I finally switched to Sela and I’m loving the way it looks so far- except for a few small issues.

    1) All of the landscape-oriented images on my blog are 750x500px, but the theme automatically resizes them to 620px wide. Is there any way to widen the post content area so that they can be displayed at their full resolution? I don’t mind sacrificing some of the padding on the sides of the main area and the sidebar to give the images more room.

    2) When I view an individual post, this line of text appears at the bottom:
    “Warning: printf() [function.printf]: Too few arguments in /home/[folder name omitted]/public_html/wp-content/themes/sela/inc/template-tags.php on line 343“. Is there anything I can do to correct this?

    ~3) When I view my site on my phone, the mobile theme looks fine on the first visit- but with any subsequent visits, it reverts to an extremely basic html version of itself that borks the formatting. I end up having to clear my phone’s cache to make it display correctly again. To be fair, this might be an issue with my phone rather than the theme, but it’s never happened with previous themes I’ve used. Can provide screenshots if that would help.

    Here‘s my site, for reference. These aren’t huge issues, but any help would be really appreciated! TIA.

    Update- the mobile issue was just on my end!

    I’d still really appreciate any help with the other two issues, though.

    I see you are using Jetpack, so I would suggest adding this at Appearance > Edit CSS. If Edit CSS doesn’t appear under Appearance, go to Jetpack > Settings and Activate Custom CSS.

    To make the content wider, I think it is best to widen the overall theme by the amount we want to widen the content area so that proportions for the various elements remain relatively the same. At Appearance > CSS, paste in the following CSS after deleting all the informational text in that window.

    #page {
    max-width: 1326px;
}
#primary {
    width: 911px;
}

    Next, in the publish module on the CSS page, click on the Edit Media Width and enter 750 and then click the Publish button.

    For the error appearing at the bottom of your single post pages, take a look at this other thread for a solution.
