  • Please post a link to your site, it makes it easier to give specific suggestions. If you have not created a child theme, then you should install a CSS plugin like Jetpack or Custom CSS Manager so you can add some CSS to change the content width.

    Thank you CrouchingBruin. I am building website, and just started WP about 6 months ago. My site at Sirius is under construction. Not yet WP. I am building some WP demo sites on Sirius

    The site in question is at Sirius/easy

    I am trying jetpack, and will try CSS Manager. Thanks for responding!

    I will post again after I have tried to widen my pages.

    Perhaps you’re trying out different themes? The site that you linked to is currently running Twenty Fourteen, not Twenty Thirteen, so the CSS that you would use will be slightly different. For Twenty Fourteen, you would copy this rule into your custom CSS:

    .site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.site-content .entry-meta,
.page-content {
   max-width: 474px;
}

    And then change the value for max-width depending upon how much space you want for your content.

    If you learn to use a web debugging tool like Firebug or Chrome Developer Tools, you can inspect your own site and see what CSS rules are in effect for a particular element, and write your own overriding CSS.
