 * I’m trying to change the width of the content but cannot figure it out for the
   life of me. I feel like I’ve changed every width that I could find but nothing
   has worked so far. I need a minimum of 750px for the script I want to run (Coupons.
   com Savings Center). Can anybody help me? I’m using a the Sugar and Spice theme.
   Here’s [the page](http://www.createdbykristen.com/coupons-deals/coupons/) that
   I need help with.

 * Kristin –
 * This is somewhat messy b/c you have fixed top and bottom background images. But
   it should work. I’ve specified it just for this particular page:
 *     ```
       .page-id-178 #page:before {
           background-image: none;
       }
   
       .page-id-178 #page:after {
           background-image: none;
       }
   
       .page-id-178 #page {
           width: 1200px;
       }
   
       .page-id-178 #primary {
           width: 750px;
       }
       ```

 * Is there a specific place that I need to put it? I’ve tried in the editor just
   at the bottom so I knew where it was and that didn’t seem to work. Then I put
   it the content on the page itself to see if that word work and it didn’t.

 * If your theme has a custom css slot, it can go in there.
 * Otherwise you can use this plugin – [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/)–
   and drop in the css block there.
