Change width of content area

Edit your stylesheet by going to Appearance > Edit CSS and insert:

#header, #footer, #wrapper {
width: 1000px;
}

You probably want the width to be wider than 1000 pixels since there’s built-in padding in the left and right of the content area.

Hope that helps.

Thank you, this made it.

But there is one thing more. If I hide the sidebar, this style will be overridden by inline css. In order to prevent it to be overridden, I put the following style declaration:

body #header, body #footer, body #wrapper {
    width: 1200px;
}

insert where in css?

andrew871 – don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten when the theme is updated.

An easy way to add custom CSS is to install the Jetpack plugin and activate the Custom CSS module. You’ll then add your custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.

As alternatives, you could either install a standalone custom CSS plugin, or create a child theme.
