 * I am using the full-width-page-template on every page. Everything works fine 
   except on some pages the content overlaps into the right padding-area (I don’t
   know if you can call it like that). This just happens watching the website on
   small screens (15′ and smaller).

 * I am relatively new to wordpress so maybe you could help!?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * At first glance, it looks like there is a broken HTML tag or something relating
   to it that is breaking the layout.
 * The hard part (actually very difficult) is to find what has broken the layout.
 * Did you make any kind of theme modification, or did you use any kind of HTML 
   code in your content?

 * I only made changes in the style.php file. Is that what you mean?
    What would
   you think might be the best way to find the broken code?
 * There should not be any HTML-Code in the content.
 * Thank you for your answer!

 * I’m guessing you mean the style.css file?
    What changes did you make? Could be
   this that is breaking the layout.
 * As for making style changes, it’s best to do these in a custom stylesheet by 
   using a plugin like Simple Custom CSS. This way when the theme has an update,
   you won’t lose any modifications.

 * There are two media queries which are making the container `<div>` expand wider
   than the actual size of the parent. As Shaped Pixels stated, you should not be
   making changes to the theme’s files, but add any changes using a custom CSS plugin.
 * To fix your current problem, you can try adding these rules:
 *     ```
       @media (min-width:992px){.container{width:100%;}}
       @media (min-width:768px){.container{width:100%;}}
       ```

 * Awesome, that worked!
 * Thank you both for your answers. 🙂
 * (Never gonna change anything in the style.css ever again!)
