 * Using any theme the content is way too narrow and I can’t find any way to widen
   it. Using any of the standard themes gives the same result (Twenty-Twenty, Twenty-
   Seventeen etc). Using child themes makes no difference either. Setting full width
   options makes no difference. All content just sits at about 500px even if I’ve
   set values of 2000px in the writing settings.

 * What you need to do is use your browser inspector to see how your web pages are
   being structured and how the content width is being set by the CSS. Once you 
   have done this you can change these settings using either the customizer > Additional
   CSS, or in a child theme.
