 * Hello,
 * On my blog posts i would like to change the max-width (the layout with the sidebar
   widgets) I found an option under Blog and max-width but nothing happens when 
   i change that. Is it somewhere else i should change? i want the max width of 
   my content to be 700px and my widgets to the right of the content.

 * Hello,
 * You can set the max-width from the Customize > Blog > Single Posts. It should
   work. Can you share your site link so that I can check it?

 * No, it is not allowed. It is against the forum guidelines.

 * Hello,
 * Try to add the below code to the Customize > Custom CSS section and check it 
   works or not.
 *     ```
       .entry-content.clr {
           max-width: 700px;
       }
       ```

 * Hi [@apprimit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apprimit/) yeah that limits
   the content but the lines on the side remain the same, looks kinda odd when there
   is a big gap of white space before the line and widgets?

 * Okay, then you need to also adjust the width of the sidebar using the CSS code.
   Let me know if you need help with it.

 * Use the below code instead of the previous code. Add it to the Customize > Custom
   CSS section.
 *     ```
       div#primary {
           max-width: 700px;
       }
       .widget-area.sidebar-primary {
           width: calc(100% - 700px);
       }
       ```
