 * Hi there,
 * try this CSS:
 *     ```
       .single-post #page {
           max-width: 760px;
       }
       ```
   
 * I have assumed your site is not using sidebars on any posts.

 * Hi there,
 * To do that, you need to reduce the header padding.
 * Our pro version allows you to do that in the Customizer, but you can also use
   CSS like this:
 *     ```
       .inside-header {
           padding: 20px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Let me know if you need more info 🙂

 * I cannot see the CSS in the sites code?
    Add it back in and make sure your browser
   cache is cleared, if you cant see the change leave the code in place so we can
   take a look.
