 * Hi there,
 * I’d like my single posts to be a little narrower, but only the area with the 
   heading, pictures, text, etc.; the side per se (with the sidebar and menu) should
   have the same size as ‘home’ etc.
 * I tried…
 *     ```
       .single-post .entry-singular-wrapper {
            margin-left: 200pt;
            max-width: 637pt;
       }
       ```
   
 * …and it looked good on my desktop, but the mobile version doesn’t work with that.
 * I also tried…
 *     ```
       .single-post .default-background-color {
           max-width: 1050px;
       }
       ```
   
 * …and here the mobile version looks fine, but the menu and the sidebar are also
   made smaller / narrower.
 * I’d really appreciate your help!
    Thanks so much Anja

 * Hi [@amazinganja](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amazinganja/),
 * Thanks for getting in touch again! 🙂
 * Give this a shot and see if it matches what you had in mind- if not, just let
   me know what tweaks you need and I can adjust it as much as is necessary. This
   will limit the wrapper width to 1000 pixels, while keeping the sidebar intact
   until it hits the responsive breakpoint at 991px:
 *     ```
       .single-post main .wrapper {
           max-width: 1000px;
       }
       @media screen and (min-width: 992px) {
           .single-post .entry-singular-wrapper {
               max-width: calc(100% - 372px);
           }
           .single-post .widget-area-sidebar {
               min-width: 372px;
           }
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps- let us know if it doesn’t do the trick!

 * omg, almost there! It looks better already!
    Now my only (little) problem is,
   that the entry itself and the sidebar are both kind of centered…
 * Is it possible, that the “single-post” sidebar is at the same place as it is 
   on the “home” site? In other words: on the right side?
 * Gosh, I hope I’m not asking too much – thank you so much for your quick and professional
   help. I’d be so lost without it. I hope I could describe my problem understandable.
 * Best regards
    Anja

 * Ah, I see what you mean. In this case, you’d want to remove this CSS that I gave
   you previously:
 *     ```
       .single-post main .wrapper {
           max-width: 1000px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Then add this:
 *     ```
       .single-post .entry-singular {
           max-width: 600px;
           margin: 0 auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * If you need it adjusted just let us know! 🙂
