 * Hello guys!
    I’ve installed a wordpress blog inside my web, and gave it the same
   theme style. Everything works fine except 2 things, the width oft he content 
   is 840px by default, I tried changing it to 1200px, but nothing happened. And
   second, the content is cropped at the top, behind the header, how can I solve
   this? Here is the site: [http://mariarei.com/blog-boxed.html/](http://mariarei.com/blog-boxed.html/)
 * I want to add, I’ve modified the twentysixteen original theme.
    (sorry if my 
   english is not perfect).

 * Firstly, Please create a child theme before adding styles.

 * Hello [@reimodels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reimodels/)
 * To change the width of the content use the below css .
 *     ```
       .entry-content {
           width: 855px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 *  You can adjust the width according to your need.
 * And answer to your second question is , to prevent the content from being cropped
   you can use the below CSS
 *     ```
       div#content {
           margin-top: 20px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope this will resolve your issue.
 * Best Regards!!
