You’re using a vanilla 2011 theme.
Go to your wp-admin >> Appearance >> Theme Options >> and format the colors and other settings (widths, etc.) there.
IF the 2011 Theme Options don’t have widths available in it, you’ll have to go to Appearances >> Custom CSS or it might be under Appearances >> Theme Options >> Custom CSS and add CSS in there. An example would be something like:
#page {
margin: 2em auto;
max-width: 920px; // or whatever width works for you
}
Secondly, in 2011, you can go into your Appearances >> Editor >> Functions.php and on line 122:
define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH’, apply_filters( ‘twentyeleven_header_image_width’, 1000 ) );
define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT’, apply_filters( ‘twentyeleven_header_image_height’, 288 ) );
Take a look at this link for more information.
Lastly, you should install this plugin if you like the 2011 theme — 2011 Theme Extensions to add some customizing options to your website.
I don’t know what happened, but now it is claiming
“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/laplante/public_html/thecounselingplacetampabay.com/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/functions.php on line 143”
And now I can not log in to the website to make changes
Hey Counseling,
Use ftp and undo that specific file you edit it. Then it should return back to normal.
You really shouldn’t need to edit the functions.php; 2011 should have them options for set widths … I’d assume.
EDIT:
I just put 2011 on one of my domains, and it has none of these options.
Here’s another article on how to control colors and widths in the 2011 theme.
