 * Hi,
 * I have been trying to develop an eCommerce website. Most of the designing is 
   done. But on all the pages where I’m using default layout with sidebar, it is
   adding padding on both sides of the page. It is shifting the sidebar also to 
   the center of the page. This problem is occurring on all the paged developed 
   by Woocommerce plugin.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdecrease-the-padding-of-default-layout%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * [@mridul174](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mridul174/) You linked there
   to the Blog page on your site, which is not a site that is added by the WooCommerce
   plugin. That is a default page of the WordPress core software.
 * That leads me to believe this isn’t an issue with Woo, but with the way that 
   your theme styles these pages. It sounds like you’d want pages to be styled in
   full-width, but these pages aren’t styled like that.
 *  I’d recommend reaching out to your theme developer for suggestions on how to
   modify the styling of those pages.
 * If they are unable to help, you might want to look into the possibility of:
 * 1. Hiring a developer to make this style changes for you.
    2. Looking for a different
   theme that better fits the idea you have in mind.

 * [@fhaps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fhaps/) Thank you for your reply.
   I actually do not have a theme developer and I’m doing this solo. I’m using OceanWP
   as a theme with Elementor and woocommerce.
 * I’ll try taking a backup and changing the theme.
    Yesterday, another issue also
   cropped up. While adding a product, suddenly the single product page stopped 
   working and started showing 404 Page not found.

 * Hey there!
 * Normally when a 404 pops up, there was an issue with saving the product, or there’s
   a visibility setting somewhere to set to hidden.
 * Can you try resaving the product, and make sure the visibility of the product
   is set to public?

 * Thank you [@slash1andy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slash1andy/). The
   problem was resolved after changing the product permalink to Default. Also, the
   padding problem is also sorted under (Customizing ▸ General Options
    General 
   Settings) and maxing our “Main Character Width”.
