Hi there,

How can I extend the width of blog posts? Width of a post looks to be about 500-550px. How can I change this to be wider?

Thanks for your help!

Hi @Miz;
You can use this custom css code and change it to be wider. Second code for the desktop view.

.post .entry-content { max-width: 440px; }
@media screen and (min-width: 992px) { .blog-single .entry-content { max-width: 540px; } }

Thanks

@Serkan

Which file do I edit? :) single.php or something else?

Appreciate your help & guidance.

Hi Serkan,

I placed this code into Appearance > custom css — but nothing is changing on my blog. Am I doing something wrong?

—
post .entry-content { max-width: 800px; }
@media screen and (min-width: 1200px) { .blog-single .entry-content { max-width: 800px; } }

Hi @Miz;
Yeap, you are forgetting dots before “post” Just try the use the code like this;

.post .entry-content { max-width: 800px; }

Thanks
