    Hi guys,

    I’m using TwentyEleven as a two-column theme and I’m working with a child theme.
    I want to know what to add to the style.css of my child theme to increase the width of the content.

    Next to that I’m also wondering how to remove the upper grey border in my navigation. I’ve seemed to remove the rest of the borders but the only one that stays on the page is the upper one and i can’t seem to get rid of it!

    My site is closed, but here’s a screenshot of what it looks like with the upper border: http://i50.tinypic.com/zsmhdu.png.

    Thanks in advance.

    To increase the width of the content.

    Can you specify which element?

    Next to that I’m also wondering how to remove the upper grey border in my navigation.

    Apply;

    #branding {
     border-top: 0;
    }

    I think it’s the entry or the entry-content in the style.css

    Thanks that code worked. πŸ™‚

    Is this what you mean?

    #content {
     width: yourWidth;
    }

    (@pucklitaay)

    Yes, I think it is. I edited the width but it isn’t working still.
    In the twenty eleven theme the page where the posts are displayed, the content area, is smaller then the header. I want to increase the width so it’s bigger and it matches the header’s 1000px

    Can you post what you have attempted, when changing the width?

    Thread Starter pucklitaay

    (@pucklitaay)

    just this: #content {
    width: 800px;
    }

    With a random width

    There may be some style overriding it that I can’t replicate, so try adding !important on the end.
    E.g

    width: 800px !important;

    Thanks, that was indeed the case, but now I want to move that same area to the right. How do I do this then? πŸ™‚

    Do you want to swap the sidebar and content positions around?

    Thread Starter pucklitaay

    (@pucklitaay)

    Yes. I like the way the way that the sidebar is positioned on the right and the content on the left. I just want to move the content position more to the left so it matches the start of the header. πŸ™‚

    Try;

    #secondary {
     float: left;
    }
    
    #primary {
     float: right;
    }

    (@pucklitaay)

    I just place this in my style.css of the child theme?

    Thread Starter pucklitaay

    (@pucklitaay)

    I added it, but it doesn’t work – even when I add !important;
