 * Hi. I’m trying to set the page text width to specific width, but I have no luck.
   As I expand the page, so does the text expand. I thought I could do with columns,
   but that doesn’t work for some reason. I image I would like to do like this [https://seths.blog/](https://seths.blog/).
 * Is there a way to set the text to specific width?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fset-page-text-width%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@jkristobans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jkristobans/),
 * The width settings on a column basis are responsive, which means they are relative
   to screen width. However, there is a CSS workaround that you might see fitting
   for this purpose:
 *     ```
       @media (min-width: 992px){
       .site-inner {
           elemen.style {: ;
           }: ;
           max-width: 32em;
           float: none !important;
           margin-left: 300px;
       }
       }
       ```
   
 * Just replace the max-width value with the desired width and you should be good
   to go.
 * I hope this helps, have a nice day,
    Andrija
