 * Dear forum
 * I need help adjusting the width of the main wrapper, with sidebar for this theme.
   How can I change this?
 * Also how can I possibly fix the width of the sidebar?
 * There is a picture of how it looks currently below this (sorry if I am not allowed
   to link, but it was easier to display it rather than to write it!):

 * As can be seen above, the main wrapper is too narrow. Please point me to the 
   file as to where I can fix this. Many thanks in advance! 🙂

 * You can adjust its width by adding the following CSS code in the Custom CSS option
   of your theme on the below path.
 * Admin Area -> Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS
 *     ```
       .container.main-content-area {
           width: 1270px;
       }
       ```
   
 * >  Also how can I possibly fix the width of the sidebar?
 * You can fix sidebar width by using below CSS code.
 *     ```
       #secondary {
           max-width: 310px;
       }
       ```

 * Hello Vinod!
 * Thank you for the solution! I appreciate it a lot.
 * Also I have a new question that I hope you have the answer to?
 * If I want to fix the font size of h2, h3, h4, h5 I am unable to do so? I’ve been
   through the style.css and the bootstrap.css? Are there any other place that I
   need to look for it?
 * I’ve attached pictures below :

 * To achieve this you have to copy the above shared CSS code in the Custom CSS 
   option of theme on the path Admin Area -> Appearance -> Customize -> Additional
   CSS and make it more specific as displayed below.
 *     ```
       h1,
       .h1 {
       font-size: 36px !important;
       }
       ```

 * Sweet, thank you so much for the help!
 * Also, I have new questions for the Sparkling theme. I decided to go with a template
   for the front page, however, now it still displays the wrapper behind the theme?
   How can I remove this, see attached picture:

   top.

 * You can remove that wrapper using below CSS code.
 *     ```
       .home .post-inner-content {
           background: transparent;
           border: 0;
       }
       ```

 * Use below CSS code to achieve it.

       .home .post-inner-content {
           padding-top: 0;
       }
   
       .home .container.main-content-area,
       .home .entry-content {
           margin-top: 0;
       }
   
       .home header.entry-header.page-header {
           margin: 0;
       }

 * All right, I have another question for you.
 * Is there any way at all, to align this piece of code with the iFrame? (See attached
   picture)
