Changing a couple of things

Also, I had noticed that in the full-width template, there appears to be a padding on the left and right side of the content. How can I get rid of this?

post your site address

Hello, there are two possible approaches:

1. Install a custom css plugin and add some extra rules. This is the easiest option, but has the disadvantage that it doesn’t change the theme’s image sizes. Your pictures might not fit your wider spaces properly.

2. Create a child theme. This is more complicated, but it does let you adjust your images sizes.

If you’re still interested I’ll do by best to guide you through whichever option you prefer.

Front page widgets 1, 2 and 3 only appear when you create a page using the front page template. They should be appear in a row at the bottom of the front page.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
Is there a particular edit for the full width page I can do?

If I use the page with the widgets, everything is aligned as I’d like, as you can see from this https://i.gyazo.com/c5d1902788222ffc242c765d8a8d4dd4.png

Then I change this page to take the widgets off and the alignment changes to:

Seems that the is a little padding on both the left and right side in full-width.php but I can’t see where to alter it.

Hello, sorry for the delay getting back to you, I’ve been away. If you’re still interested you can eliminate the side padding by installing a custom css plugin (there’s one in Jetpack) and adding to following css:

.full-width .entry-header,
.full-width .entry-content,
.full-width .entry-footer,
.full-width .comments-area,
.front-page .hero-content .entry-header,
.front-page .hero-content .entry-content {
	max-width: 100%;
}
