 * My theme (real estate pro 6) has a container with a max width of 1000px. Everything
   works great except for the few photons on some pages or divs with colored backround
   thats I want to span the whole width of the page so they are completely taking
   up the screen left to right. If I override the container tag for that page and
   change the max width to be 100% of course all menus and tax now snap to the edges
   of the screen throwing off my layout. Any ideas on how I can keep this container
   so menus and other items stay floated exactly where they are but still allow 
   for me to have a few pages with colored divs or images that fit the width of 
   the screen? Right now as you could image if I drop in a picture or div with a
   width of 100% it only fills the 1000px wide container class that everything in
   the site lives within. All ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 * I’m not familiar with this particular theme but, if you add a <div> which contains
   the .container you can make that full width something like this:
 *     ```
       <div class="full-width">
            <div class="container">
       ```
   
 * This will work for the background colors for sure. For the images it depends 
   where they are on the page compared to the container content, but it should work
   in a manner like this:
 *     ```
       <div class="full-width">
            <img>
            <div class="container">
       ```
   
 * Hopefully this helps

 * Well the container tag is wrapping the whole site at this point. Since WordPress
   is put tother from many PHP files its hard to move that container and make it
   not wrap the whole site.

 * If you are still looking for help with this. You will likely find the opening
   container tag in `header.php` and the closing tag in `footer.php` If it is a 
   well documented theme you should see something like this in the footer.
    `</div
   ><!--container-->`
 * Which you could change to:
 *     ```
       </div><!-- container -->
       </div><!-- full-width -->
       ```
   
 * Let me know if this helps
