• How do I increase the width of the main body (column) section on my website? I use the Easel theme and it is in 3 columns. Some of my text is crunched or extended into my right column from the body section as its too narrow.

  • You’ll need to modify the CSS code which controls the width of those elements. Firebug is a great tool for working with CSS… Also, you may want to make sure that the problem is not due to coding errors — try validating the pages:

    Thanks, but could you point me to which page this would be in? there are so many.

    I’m not sure I understand your question. CSS is set in stylesheets — generally style.css for the theme itself. But you should not make changes to theme files, but use a Child Theme or custom CSS option or plug-in to make changes. If you post a link to your site where the problem exists, it will be much easier for people to help with this kind of issue.

    This is the page that shows the problem. I am not familiar with css so this task may be a bit difficult for me. If i did find it and increase the width of the middle, unsure if this will make the side columns smaller or if i can increase the width of all. if i use another plug in, i wouldnt even know where to start. sorry, i am new to all of this.

    Yeah, it’s actually fairly involved to start changing the layout of pages — as all the pieces have to fit together of it will break the layout. I would not recommend it unless you are experienced with CSS — or are willing to learn quite a bit about how it works. Firebug is great tool for CSS work, so I’d definitely recommend that as well.
