Single Column Fluid Width Responsive Site Question

    I am a long time Joomla freak, and have recently been reintroduced to WP via friends and work, and am looking to create an organization website.

    What I want to create is a single column website, with a fluid width for different screen resolutions, and of course, responsive for multiple devices.

    I am using Site Origin blocks and widgets, as this was what was introduced to me that impressed me so much. Yet no matter how many templates I try, all my content gets stuck on the right half, left half, or in the center of the page.

    Does anyone have any recommendations for what I am doing wrong, suggest a template that actually only has one column and is fluid width, or otherwise point me in the right direction?

    Thanks

  • Can you describe the issue better, or maybe with screenshots?

    I don’t see the issue.

    You want the entire site, every page to be a single column ??

    See attached :

    If you really want a single column, then you are already doing that with the row –> col-lg-12
    Just keep adding those rows.

    But just fyi,
    you are already using the Bootstrap grid :
    https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/examples/
    and the ArileWP theme you are already using is fine.
    Both of these elements are using a responsive, device agnostic approach.

    The theme does not (need to) contain your layout.
    You can assign templates you apply to a page or a post that define your layout.

    The theme there is nice, and I do like the fluid width, but it over writes and restricts the posts from the site origin blocks, and limits them to the bottom of the page.

    I suppose the best way to describe what I am looking for would be a similar layout as far as width and function, but effectively a blank slate so I can generate my own blocks in any fashion I desire.

    Maybe a single column, full-width, responsive and fluid template that is effectively a blank slate?

    That being said, your answer was still very definitive and helpful. I have been using Joomla for about the past decade, so getting used to the feel of everything here again. Thank you @corrinarusso.

    Hm, again – I think you are confusing Themes with Templates.
    I’ve not use Joomla in at least ten years, so I can’t really paint what the comparison would be for you.

    However, I think this would be good to watch :

    > I do like the fluid width, but it over writes and restricts

    There no limits.
    The layout is limited by your imagination.
    Everything is 100 percent open source.
