You can insert a link of your site for a real view.

At every page you have an option (in a right panel) to select ”full width” for the page. This will remove all sidebars for the page you hit the option.

Bellow are the code lines I used in my child theme for removing the left sidebar. I strongly recommend to have a child theme for making this changes.
My new space is 620px instead of 470px. Where you see this number 65.95744680851064%, is the operation of 620/940. 940px is the full width of the theme. This mean that if your new desired space is 700px, you have to put the number given by 700/940.

.content-wrap {
	float: left;
        width: 100%;
} 

.featured-wrapper {
	float: left;
	width: 65.95744680851064%;  /* 620 / 940 = 0.6595744680851064 */
} 

.aside {
	float: right;
}

#content {
	float: left;
	width: 65.95744680851064%;	/* 620 / 940 = 0.6595744680851064 */
}

Maybe you will encounter some problems after changing your theme to 2 columns (like post thumbnail remaining at old size, etc.). You can resolve that problems also.
Try this lines above, and let know if it worked.

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.

I found a way that for now is working.

I edited the plugin code. In jetpack/modules/sharedaddy/sharing-service.php I just removed a line: add_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘sharing_display’, 19 );

The solution will be “broken” at an plugin update. If you know other solutions please write them here.

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.

After manual way of creating child theme to Oxygen did not received the results I wanted, I decided to try installing Child Theme with the plugin “One-click Child Theme”. It did worked and SOLVED all the problems I had before.

Changes I make in child theme do have effect.

2. I resolved the header image also.
I inserted in style.css the line:
#branding { width: 100%; }

In the cropping step, after uploading the image I needed, I just made the crop at full length of the image, even if the blinking crop borderss had an proportion of 400px/100px. Now the header image has 940px/100px.

Hope this could help.

My problem was that i could not insert just an header image of 400px/100px.

I have a child theme and I resolved this by inserting in my child theme the line:
#branding { width: 100%; }
I did not used a plugin.

At the cropping step, after uploading the image I needed, I just made the crop at full length of the image, even if the blinking crop borders had an proportion of 400px/100px. Now, my header image has 940px/100px. I think it works with an image even taller than 100px.

If your image is not prepared at 940px width, I think it will not be center aligned. It is a post here about how to center the header image in Oxygen theme.

Thanks for the answer.
