Page Template Content Width

Hi there,

Does this sample page from the demo site also show the width issue you are hoping to address? https://rebalancedemo.wordpress.com/readability/

If so, in my tests this code made page text narrower, with more whitespace on the left than the right.

@media screen and (min-width: 740px) {
.page .page {
padding: 50px 10% 50px 20%;
}
}

You are welcome to edit those figures a bit if you wish. 10% is the padding on the right, and 20% is the padding on the left. But you could easily change those to make the whitespace on the left wider or narrower than what I used in my code.

Hope this helps!

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for getting back to me. No, this demo page https://rebalancedemo.wordpress.com/readability/is not showing the same “full-width” issue that I saw. I haven’t touched any of my PHP pages, only the “Additional CSS” so I temporarily removed my that code and lo and behold, the missing left-hand whitespace reappeared. Problem solved!

However, one thing that still puzzles me is I only have one widget area i.e. the footer. Should there be a sidebar widget area?

Thanks so much for your help.

This is how that theme is designed. It only allows widgets in the footer. THat’s something you can’t change unless you fiddle with the theme’s files which we don’t recommend and it’s something we cannot provide support for.

Thanks for letting me know.
