 * Hi all. I have a problem with the width of the content area on pages. My site
   url is [http://f12007rf.mak-corp.net/?page_id=38](http://f12007rf.mak-corp.net/?page_id=38)
 * I want the content area on my pages to take up the entire page width but can’t
   get it to work.

 * please create a child theme [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   of Twenty Eleven before you continue with your customisations.
 * it is important to have an unedited default theme (Twenty Eleven for wp3.3) in
   case of problems. a child theme also helps to keep the cusomisation during an
   upgrade.
 * once you have your child theme up and running, the forum should be able to help
   you with your question.

 * Um, my theme isn’t edited though. I have two plugins installed called
 * Pixelentity – Estro Slider
    and WordPress Post Tabs
 * and the only thing that’s changed in the theme is adding one piece of code in
   page.php for the slider to appear above the menu and that code is…
 *     ```
       // alternatively, if the above doesn't work for you (code in included in a function)
       $GLOBALS['peEstroPlugin']->the_slider(1);
       ```
   
 * And that does not replace or change anything. Aside from adding that on the page.
   php file, nothing else has been altered in the theme files.

 * Ok so once I create a child theme, what should I edit to try and make the content
   area wider? Is there a specific line of code etc?

 * create the child theme first;
 * please post here again once your child theme is working.
 * someone might then be able to answer your question.

 * You’ll need to modify the css file. Search for the class .entry-content. The 
   width of that div is set to 68.9%. You can change that to 100% for it to take
   up the width of the content area.
    Hope this helps.

 * In your css:
 *     ```
       .singular .entry-header, .singular .entry-content, .singular footer.entry-meta, .singular #comments-title{
            width:100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * It swill fix your issue.
