….continue:
I do not have your theme installed.
I took a look to the preview of the theme and came to this:

put this code to your Child Theme style.css file
OR
Install Simple Custom CSS plugin and put the code there.
I’m doing this on my browser to find solution.
It can get to some different behaviour on your site.
It can happen that it is not working.
Then we have to look further.

body .grid-container {
    max-width: 1200px;
}

or

body .grid-container {
    max-width: 1200px!important;
}

Hope I’m helpful
Cheers

….midihipi
Thanks for the site URL.
I took a look to your site.
So code up here should work fine.

Thanks much for the reply. That code is not changing anything with the header or nav bar. I should edit my post. I took any code I added for color etc. I will make a child theme but I am testing with simple css. They are probably changing the body width and I got that far I am after the nav bar and header now. Also I would like the site to remain responsive. It’s just a simple landing page kind of thing. I am testing in production lol. I use themify now and want to change over. Web design is not my focus in business just a value add for my clients if they need it.

Shouldn’t be any need for code, there’s options for that.

Customize > Layout > Header – set “Header Width” to “Contained”.
Customize > Layout > Primary Navigation – set “Navigation Width” to “Contained”.
Customize > Layout > Footer – set “Footer Width” to “Contained”.

Hope this helps ??

I took a SCREENSHOT so you can see it is working here.
The code should be right.
Cheers

@tahoerock – I think @midihipi wants the red and black bars (in your video) to also be contained.

The options I highlighted above will achieve that without the need for CSS.

The option you’re changing in the video can also be adjusted without custom CSS in “Customize > Layout > Container”.

Thanks!

Brilliant Tom thanks for that. I new it had to be somewhere. I am going to bang on this for a while and I think you have a new customer. If I could ask one more question of you. There is a site that I really like and they put a logo that is on top of both the nave and the top of the content area. This is a look I have been trying to achieve for a client to no avail. Can you have a look at https://omgubuntu.com and maybe point me in the right direction of how to achieve this in a child theme? It’the omg ballon at the top…..

You resolved that post quickly thanks very much! Impressed with support.

Hi Tom,
Yes, I think your solution is way better.
You are the author and you know this theme the best.
I do not use it.
I did dirty quick way.
Thanks for helping

You’re welcome!

I think I helped someone achieve that over here: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/tweaking-please-help-me/

Off to bed (12:30AM), but will check back in the morning to answer any more questions ??

I’ll give it a go thanks. I will let you know. You ever sleep? Kids and a new theme engine……

that one didn’t do it. I don’t see where it calls out to the logo file….

The site I want to do it with was built with themify ultra but I am moving away from it to elementor based sites. I want to see it work as I like the idea of floating an oversize logo over a thin nav bar…….I have one client in particular who is wanting something like it as well. I am an engineer not a web developer just help clients with their sites when they need it and have done alright but this one has be stumped…..
