 * Some of our pages go all the way across the width like this one: [http://www.barnesweddings.co.uk/category/wedding-cars-dorset/bramwith/](http://www.barnesweddings.co.uk/category/wedding-cars-dorset/bramwith/)
 * but on others its only a three quaters of the way like this page:
    [http://www.barnesweddings.co.uk/local-wedding-venues-in-dorset/](http://www.barnesweddings.co.uk/local-wedding-venues-in-dorset/)
 * Can anyone help with how I can get those pages across the whole width like the
   first example?
 * Many thanks in advance

 * Which images? All of the images on the second page are only about 300px wide.

 * Sorry I meant the actual page width (the content) not the image size. One page
   the writing goes across the whole width but not on the other.

 * assuming that the page that is only going three quarters of the way is a WordPress
   Page, edit your `page.php` file and look for the html tag that says:
 * `<div id="colLeft">...`
 * and change the id to:
 * `<div id="colFull">...`
 * Basically, everytime you want to have the content go full width, use the id `
   colFull`
 * And I assume that this is a custom theme and not a theme you downloaded and would
   be updated from time to time. If it is, then I would suggest doing your changes
   via a child theme.

 * Before you touch any theme template files, are you applying the same page template
   to both Pages? It doesn’t look like from the source markup.

 * No it’s not, the one that goes all the way across is a Category page where as
   the other is a Page with Default template applied. I want to change all Pages
   to be full width.
