[Theme: Intergalactic] How to create a full width page template

  • I’m trying to create a static front page with a featured posts slider. I’d like to have this front page be full width so that the slider is striking visually.

    I’ve copied the “page” template created a new “full width page” template and assigned it to my page, BUT… I have no idea how to actually change the text to take up the whole width.

    I’m not terribly familiar with css. Can this be done with Intergalactic?

  • Hi Nicole, Intergalactic doesn’t come with a featured-posts slider. If you’re not comfortable with CSS (or presumably, HTML, PHP and WordPress template structure!) the easiest option is to either find a theme that comes with a slider already or to use a plugin to add one.

    Good luck!

    Thanks for replying Kathryn. What I’m asking is how to enable a full-width template.

    I want my content extend beyond the 640px(?) width on a specific page.

    Any advice on this?

    I want my content extend beyond the 640px(?) width on a specific page.

    If that’s really all you’re after I don’t think you need a custom template.

    Some custom CSS should do the trick, something like:

    .page-id-32 .entry-content {
  width: 900px;
}

    Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten whenever the theme is updated.

    An easy way to add custom CSS is to install the Jetpack plugin and activate the Custom CSS module. You’ll then add your custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.

    As alternatives, you could either install a standalone custom CSS plugin, or create a child theme.

    On the other hand, if you need a page template because you’re adding slider functionality within the template, you can adapt the above CSS for the new template.

    If your new static page with the template applied is going to be the homepage, something like this should also work:

    .home .entry-content {
  width: 900px;
}
