Sorry for got to give the site name. It is bethelysleboda.com
Thanks again!
please explain ‘full width’, as the deafult page is already without sidebar and therefore kind of full width.
if the below does not work, please post a direct link to one of the pages using the new template.
for stretching the width of the the page to the same width as the index page, try and add these styles, for your example page template filename:
.singular.page-template-page-fullwidth-php #content,
.left-sidebar.singular #content {
margin: 0 2.6%;
position: relative;
width: auto;
}
.singular.page-template-page-fullwidth-php .entry-header,
.singular.page-template-page-fullwidth-php .entry-content,
.singular.page-template-page-fullwidth-php footer.entry-meta,
.singular.page-template-page-fullwidth-php #comments-title {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 93.9%;
}
Alchymyth, Thanks so much for the reply, I added the code above and it worked in my full width template. By full width, I meant the ability to put content on the entire page with no side bars and little margins.
So that I can learn from this can you explain how I may have learned this on my own by looking at the code or anywhere else, and why it might be that while searching the forums for the answer to this, it seems like there a many different answers to the same question. Is it because I already made a child theme and template? Here is a link to the page I am using this for (I still have to do some work on the text – I want the text to run down the entire right side of the picture), I’m also using it on the submenu under home. http://www.bethelysleboda.com
Thanks again, you saved me some headaches and time.

how I may have learned this on my own by looking at the code or anywhere else
using a browser tool such as Firebug http://getfirebug.com/ can help to identify which styles are influencing which parts of a web page; you can find css basics for instance in http://www.w3schools.com/css/;
add a few years of doing this kind of thing….
there a many different answers to the same question
if you include the theme name into the search, there shouldn’t bee too many different answers; however, ‘fullwidth’ does not always mean the same thing to everybody. this has nothing to do with child theme or not.
Thanks for your suggestions, I’m learning how to use firebug I get confused sometimes but keep trying. And yes just by doing this for a time and alot pf practice will help.
Thanks again,
Karlene
