Is there a way to make the blog post wrapper wider?

    The blog post wrapper is quite narrow on a full size desktop screen, is there any option to widen it a bit so it looks less narrow?

    Hi dracovich,

    You can check out this related url if you like to have full width blog post.
    http://www.pixelwars.org/forums/topic/impossible-to-have-blog-articles-using-the-full-width/

    If you just want to make the content the same size as the featured image on the desktop, you can use the following code;

    @media screen and (min-width: 992px) {
    .blog-single .entry-content { max-width: 700px; } }

    Thanks

    Hey, shouldn¨t it be enough to add them under “Custom CSS” in the customization window? I’ve done the

    .blog .layout-fixed { max-width: none; width: 100%; }
    .post .entry-content { max-width: none; }

    from the full width post you mentioned, but it doesn’t seem to overwrite the main.css settings (when i use the inspect function from chrome i can see it’s still max-width 700px and width: 90%).

    Do i need to edit the main.css directly in order to fix this?

    Hi,
    You can check out this related topic;
    And also, copy and paste the code at the top of the field. If you have made a code error on the top side, the following codes will not work. I would advise you to put it at the top.

    Yup that¨’s exactly what i’ve done but it’s not helping it seems.

    Here’s my page:

    http://www.karigunnarsson.com/best-and-worst-mid-matchups-in-post-7-00-dota/

    And here’s screenshot of the CSS code that is input, as well as the actual CSS that is output by the page (on the bottom right):

    Hi,
    Could you try to use this custom css code, please?

    .blog-single .layout-fixed { max-width: none; }

    Thanks

    That made the header “Best and worst mid heroes in post 7.00 dota” fill the screen, but the actual post itself is still the same.

    Hi,
    I tested the code and it is working very well. Are you sure that you are copying and pasting the code to right place?

    Well you tell me :) the screenshot above (http://imgur.com/l9xmM77) shows exactly what code i’ve input and where, as far as i can tell it’s at the right place according to the article that was linked.

    Please use the latest custom css code I gave you.

    Ah ok it works if i combine the both together, standalone neither works. If i only use

    .blog-single .layout-fixed { max-width: none; }

    then only the title of the blogpost is full width, but if i use:

    .blog .layout-fixed { max-width: none; width: 100%; }
    .post .entry-content { max-width: none; }
    .blog-single .layout-fixed { max-width: none; }

    It¨’s full width

    Hi, Right now, is there any problem that bothers you?

    Well i have a seperate issue that images that i add are HUGE for some reason, it’s only a 500×200 pixel image, but it fills the entire screen (unless i left or right align the picture, then it looks normal).

    Should i create a new topic for that?
