 * I’m working on a site [here](http://69.195.124.80/~velaresy/sintegra/wordpress/)
   and I’d like the 3 main sections in the middle to expand to fill up the page 
   so there is not this extra space on the right. I can accomplish this using firebug
   and changing grid_3 to grid_4 which accomplishes the width I need. I just can’t
   translate this into the themes’ css. I added this to the child theme:
 *     ```
       .container_12 .grid_4 {
           width: 300px;
       }
       ```
   
 * but this isn’t doing the trick.
 * How do make these elements use grid_4?

 * Are you aware that your theme is not released under the GPL licensing requirements
   of WP?

 * I’m not sure what that means? I bought the theme from Template Monster.

 * Template Monster would be the people to ask for help.

 * It means they aren’t following WP policy and philosophy –

 * We can’t help with non-GPL themes here, sorry. I’d actually suggest you rethink
   using any theme that’s not GPL.
 * In any case, you should be asking the developers/vendors if you are using a commercial
   theme –

 * So I can’t ask questions here unless my theme is from WP? I thought this was 
   an open forum?

 * What do you mean by open? It is a public forum, yes.
