 * Hi there, all my blog posts are not auto-adjusting the width, instead only ever
   using a portion of the page. How do I fix this? I want it to be full-width
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpost-width-not-adjusting%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * The narrow width of the content in blog posts is correct. It is not meant to 
   be full-width, as the ideal width to make passages of text more readable is approximately
   70 characters per line.
 * However if you do want to make post content full-width there are a couple of 
   different ways to do this:
 * **Option 1** – some blocks can be set to full-width such as Group, Image, Cover,
   Columns, so to make some paragraphs full-width you can add a Group block, set
   it to full-width and add your Paragraph blocks inside the full-width Group block.
 * **Option 2** – make all blocks in a post full-width. To do this navigate to Appearance
   > Editor and select the Single template (this is the template that displays single
   posts) to edit.
   In the Single template, first select the primary Group block 
   that contains the Post Content block and in the Layout settings in the right 
   sidebar turn on the “Inner blocks use content width” option.Next select the Post
   Content block and the alignment options will now be available so select “Full
   width” and save the template.

 * Thanks [@uxl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/uxl/)! Option 1 worked but 
   couldn’t get option 2 to work. I can get by with option 1 though.

 * Thank you for the update [@joelrtod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joelrtod/)
 * We were thinking of retiring this theme as it didn’t seem to be much used, but
   we may take another look at this as the core WordPress block editor has had some
   significant changes since this theme was first released, and it looks like the
   theme has fallen behind.
