Adjust content container width

    Love the theme, I just want to widen up the post/page container width. I know the theme is responsive, but the maximum width seems really narrow, at least on my screen.

    I looked around the CSS and I think this is the line I need to edit.

    .entry-author,
	.entry-content,
	.entry-footer {
		padding-right: 72px;
		padding-left: 72px;
		width: 768px;
	}

    I tried it and it did adjust the container width, but I’m not sure if this is the best way or complete way, to accomplish what I want.

    Help would be appreciated!

    Hey there kiparks,

    Hope you’re well today 🙂

    The code you pointed here looks like what needs to be changed, by changing the numeric value in width property you should be able to change the width of your site content and footer areas.

    I’d just suggest using either child theme or if your theme doesn’t have custom CSS tab plugin such as this one:
    http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css.

    By doing this you can avoid your changes being lost once you update the theme.

    There should be nothing to worry about if you say your theme is responsive, it most likely has media queries that are using different values for width of those elements on smaller resolutions.

    I’d be glad to check if you post link to your site 🙂

    Hope this helps 🙂

    Cheers,
    Bojan

    Thanks for the quick reply! I’m already using a custom CSS plugin for the smaller tweaks I did and now I’ll add this fix too.
