Full width page

    Hi there,

    I have updated my page to be a full width, suitable for wide screen viewing which most people are using now.

    Anyway, when doing this I have encountered some issues. See below:

    – Image on the home page isn’t full width, not sure why but it stops half way across the page.
    – On the What we do and Who we are pages the content boxes are too wide. I want to narrow these.
    – On the Industry news page the blog format is completely out of whack with a wide white space between the side bar and blog posts.

    Any idea on how to fix these issues?

    Thank you

    K.

    Hi Karen,
    I wish I could help you with your issue, but you’re way beyond me! I can’t even get the image to show up on the front page as anything less than a bar across the top. Would you mind sharing with me what you did to make sure your image spread out across the whole page–and if that automatically added the box of text in the middle?

    here’s how my site looks now: https://mprokop.wordpress.com/

    Thanks so much!

    mars_p – looks like you’re set! You made your homepage a static page and assigned the Front Page template to it.

    karenannesimpson –

    It looks full-width to me now, looks like you got that one sorted.

    – On the What we do and Who we are pages the content boxes are too wide. I want to narrow these.

    I don’t see pages with those titles, perhaps you changed them.

    – On the Industry news page the blog format is completely out of whack with a wide white space between the side bar and blog posts.

    You’ve altered widths and margins in your custom CSS without putting them in media queries, so they affect screens of all sizes and override the theme’s responsiveness.

    Since your site is also hosted on WordPress.com, could you please post in the CSS Customization forum over at WordPress.com and the volunteers or staff there will assist you. For now, you can remove your custom CSS piece by piece to find the culprit distorting your layout.

    I also noticed you’ve hidden your footer credit with CSS. The footer credit on WordPress.com must be maintained by all users to use the service, as you can see in the FAQ. You’ll need to restore the footer credit by removing this piece of CSS:

    .site-info {
  display: none;
}

    It’s OK to tweak the look and feel, as long as the credit is still readable. For example, this would make it lowercase, to match bit you’ve added after it:

    .site-info {
  text-transform: lowercase;
}

    Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
