# Deprecated ‘elementor_container_width’ option

 * Before Elementor version 3.0 theme developers could use the following function
   to change the elementor_container_width, for demo content import for example.
 * `update_option( 'elementor_container_width', '1200' );`
 * Now this is deprecated ([reference](https://developers.elementor.com/v3-0-planned-deprecations/))
   in 3.0 how can we update the container width setting?
 * This setting is now removed from the option page and placed in the Site Settings
   panel and the value can be retrieved via:
 * `\Elementor\Plugin::$instance->kits_manager->get_current_settings( 'container_width');`
 * But is there a way to update this just like it was possible before version 3.0?
 * Also the “elementor_viewport_lg” and “elementor_viewport_md” settings doesn’t
   seem to change anymore when using the update_option function, while these two
   are not deprecated according to the developer article.
 * Appreciate any help on this.

 * Hi guys, we have the same issue and can confirm, that update_option doesn’t work
   anymore. How can we update Elementor’s default settings beginning from 3.x version?
