 * Hi guys,
 * Thanks for this great theme I want to create my new blog with.
 * If I understand well, image uploaded (and actually content) can’t be larger than
   891px width in a post. So basically, you just have to upload images resized with
   that size.
 * My blog will focus on product photography, how can I set the width a little bit
   larger (let say 1200px) ?
 * Thanks,
 * Philippe

 * Hi Philippe,
 * Thanks for using Chosen!
 * Please try adding the following CSS to do that:
 *     ```
       @media all and (min-width: 68.75em) {
   
         .singular .post-content, .singular .post-meta, .error-404 .post-content, .error-404 .post-meta {
           padding: 0 7.14% !important;
         }
       }
       ```
   
 * You can copy and paste that code into the “Custom CSS” section in the Customizer(
   Appearance > Customize). Once added there, it should take affect right away.
 * This will reduce the padding on the left/right sides of the post content allowing
   it to be up to 1200px wide.
 * One more thing, in the media settings (Settings > Media), you can define what
   sizes you want WordPress to create for your images when you upload them. As long
   as the image is big enough, WordPress will automatically create a thumbnail, 
   medium, and large version in addition to preserving the original upload. This
   can be really helpful when you need different sizes of your images throughout
   the site.

 * Hi Ben,
 * Thanks a lot for your help.
 * It works fine but is it possible to just have the image in 1200px and the rest
   of the post-content and post-meta with original config ?

 * Sure, this can be done with just one compromise.
 * In order to size the images at exactly 1200px we need to also keep the post content
   width static (it changes a bit with the width of the screen currently). The CSS
   below will keep the content a bit narrower, but the images will be 1200px wide
   on all screens 1300px and wider:
 *     ```
       @media all and (min-width: 1300px) {
   
         .post-content {
           width: 1192px !important;
           margin: 0 auto;
         }
         .post-content .alignnone,
         .post-content .alignleft,
         .post-content .aligncenter,
         .post-content .alignright {
           position: relative;
           width: 1200px;
           max-width: 1200px;
           left: -230px;
           margin: 24px auto;
         }
       }
       ```
