  • .post-content {
        float: left;
        width: 88.333em; /*play with this value*/
        overflow: visible;
    }

    Add the above code to the `style.css’ of your CHILDtheme:

    You don’t have a childtheme yet?

    1. Install and activate ‘one click childtheme plugin
    2. create the childtheme
    3. Dashboard > appearance > Themes > activate the childtheme
    4. Make the changes in the CHILDtheme!
    – copy php files / css-file(s) of the original theme [as required] to the childtheme directory and edit them as required.

    How to find which CSS to change

    About finding out ‘which things to change in your site [css / html / php]

    Well it’s all a bit like trying to solve a puzzle.
    Fortunately there are good tools for that.
    In your browser: Install / activate webdevelopment add-ons / plugins.

    Recommended: ‘Firebug’ and ‘webdeveloper: https://www.chrispederick.com
    These tools will show you what’s what.
    e.g. right-click > inspect elements > click left bottom arrow-icon
    click item in webpage
    Inspect css on the right
    alter css values to test effect / result
    OK? copy altered css rule
    paste it in the style.css of your childtheme.

    Alternatively:
    Press <F12> a screen will show in the bottom.
    Move the mouse over each line
    The area shows in the top-half
    Press + to unfold parts
    Investigate and alter on the right etc.
    paste it in the style.css of your childtheme.
