Full width content – no sidebars

    In the site I work on: https://kingstonpottersguild.com/ the sidebars are not used.

    We would like to have the content full width with no sidebars.

    Based on one recommendation I installed the CSS plugin and added the code that was suggested would widen the content, that didn’t work and have since disabled the plugin.

    Based on other findings, I’ve created the twentythirteen-child directory, and modified the style.css and created full-width.php files as recommended and uploaded them to the child theme directory, and nothing happens.

    I suspect it’s because I lack the knowledge to modify the functions.php file to add to the child directory to – at least I think – connect all the dots, but I’m not even sure that’s what I’m doing wrong.

    Any guidance would be very welcome. Thanks.

    Try adding this to your Custom CSS plugin or Child Theme style.css file:

    .entry-header, .entry-content, .entry-summary, .entry-meta {
    max-width: none;
}

    Andrew, outstanding. Thanks much.

    I take it, since I used a CSS plugin to make the change you suggested, that I no longer need the child directory I created?

    Thanks.

    Yes I don’t so I can delete the directory, or yes I do so I should not delete it?

    Deactivating the Child Theme is all you need to do. You can delete the folder if you want.

    Once again, thanks so much.

    i wouldn’t delete a child theme as you never know if you need it in future, a child theme isn’t just for css. Just leave the css blank and your theme will contune to work. Then in future if you need it you have it already
