How to Full-width on pages

Hi Jessica,

I had the same issue, I modified the .php files. You want to make the change in two places if you want the width to expand for both posts and pages.

For the pages, go to Appearance > Editor > Page Template

Replace this:
<div class=”pagewrapper fullwidth pagecenter withsidebar”>

With:
<div class=”pagewrapper widewidth pageleft withsidebar”>

Also, for the “Sidebar” in the Editor, I removed all the code completely. Just be sure to keep a copy of all original code for those pages in case you need to restore them.

Hi carmen2013
It d′sadly didn’t work. ??
After changing the code on Page Template, the pages appeared even thinner. And after removing the template/sidebar.php it didn’t affected at all the page width.

Hi Jess,

What web browser are you viewing the changes in? I was able to go to your site on FireFox, I used the web developer tool bar to edit/view code and it worked perfectly. Unfortunately I can’t send a screen shot through the forum. I’m tempted to think it’s a browser issue as to why it didn’t work.

I don’t think the removal of the sidebar.php code makes an actual difference but I did it anyway.

Hi Carmen,

I am using Firefox and even checking the changes on Chrome just to see if there is a difference when I change the code.

Today I tried your code again and it actually worked, I must have done something wrong last time coz it did the trick as you said, although it was not wide enough so I added:

style="width:1200px;
to
<div class="mainpage blog-normal-article">
witch ends up like this:
<div class="mainpage blog-normal-article" style="width:1200px;">

and changed “pageleft” to “pagecenter”
it ended up looking like this:

<div class="pagewrapper widewidth pagecenter withsidebar">
    <div class="pageholder">

        <div class="pageholdwrapper">
            <div class="mainpage blog-normal-article" style="width:1200px;">
                <!-- article -->
                <?php
                    if( have_posts() ) {
                        while(have_posts()){
                            the_post();

Hope this helps somebody else.
