Changing from Full Width Blog to Default Size in 2011 Theme

  • Hello,

    I am trying to revamp my blog a bit…
    https://www.aninchofhope.com

    I want to change the full width of my blog to the default size.

    I went into my 2011 Child Theme & deleted this code.

    /* Menu Fix to Full Width */
body {
padding: 0 0;}

#page {
max-width: none;
}

#branding, #main, #footerMenu ul {
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;

    However, my blog moved all the way to the left.
    I attempted to find a thread on how to fix this, but to no avail…

    If anyone is able to offer assistance, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thank you,
    madisunanne.

  • Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS troubleshooting. Or use whatever developer tool is available in your web browser.

    I have added Firebug, but I am not certain how to use it for the aforementioned troubleshooting.

    I do not know what I am looking for…

    Any other help?

    Thank you,

    Are you trying to go back to what the twentyeleven theme has natively?

    @wpyogi,

    Yes, I am trying to go back to the original twentyeleven theme.

    I have deleted the above code from my child theme, & when I do, it goes back to its original width. The problem I am having is that my blog is now justified to the left (including the center & sidebar). I tried to find code via this forum to center my blog, but nothing worked when I tried it.

    So I guess I am requesting the code to center your blog in the default width size…

    Try switching back to the twentyeleven theme to see if it does what you want there.

    @wpyogi,

    I deleted the CSS adjusting to wide width, but as you can see, I am still stuck w/my blog being justified to the left.

    What CSS code should I add to center justify it?

    Did you switch to the twentyeleven theme? That will tell us where the problem is…

    No, I will do that now.

    I just activated the twentyeleven theme.

    The reason I’m suggesting that is that you should not need to add anything new to the child theme to repair or regain what is already there is the parent theme. If it’s not aligned correctly, then something in the child theme is causing that – so that’s what you want to find.

    So is that how you want it?

    Yes, that is how I want it. =)

    *Of course, with all the other changes I’ve made in the child theme added…

    @wpyogi,

    Through trial & error, I started taking out CSS code in my twentyeleven child theme. Eventually, my blog recentered as a result of taking out this code: 

    /* Space Removal Above Header */
#page {
        margin: 0;
        max-width: 1000px;
}

    Now to figure out how to remove the space above the header w/o moving the entire blog to the left…
