# [Plugin: Jetpack by WordPress.com] Tiled Galleries not using $content_width

 * My website uses the Decode theme, which sets `$content_width` to 640. Jetpack
   tiled galleries always display with a width of 500 pixels. I would like Tiled
   Galleries to use the same width as the theme, since otherwise there is an unsightly
   gap. You can see an example webpage with this issue [here](http://blog.christopherscott.ca/travel-update-tokyo-part-1/).
 * I have followed the instructions given in [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jetpack-tiled-galleries?replies=7](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jetpack-tiled-galleries?replies=7),
   but the issue is not resolved. In particular, I have checked `functions.php` 
   to confirm that the following code is included:
 *     ```
       if ( ! isset( $content_width ) ) {
       		$content_width = 640; /* pixels */
       	}
       ```
   
 * The variable `$content_width` does not appear to be set anywhere else in the 
   theme. The issue persists after deactivating and reactivating Tiled Galleries.
   I am using Jetpack 3.3.2, which is the most recent release at the time of writing.
 * Note that the Decode theme is responsive; I intend to change `$content_width`
   to 846 (which is the largest size that the body expands to on a non-HiDPI display),
   but it is currently set to the default of 640. I have tried setting `$content_width`
   to various sizes, but in each case Tiled Galleries uses a width of 500px.

 * I have updated my site to use a child theme of Decode. I used the exact same 
   code as copied above in the `functions.php` of the child theme, and the issue
   was resolved. I suspect that `$content_width` is first set outside of the `functions.
   php` file in the Decode theme.
 * I hope that this helps someone else having a similar issue!
