 * Hey! Im hoping someone can help me. I added the a second sidebar and then removed
   it, went and changed some other settings and saved. Now i think because i activated
   the second side bar (even though i turned it off before i saved) it shrunk the
   width of the main body column. Now i cant get the site back to how it was!
 * I have the width set at 1380 which is correct and what it has always been set
   as, but the site is displayed as narrower than that now and i cant figure out
   how to sort it!

 * Hi,
 * The option is found in Appearance -> Customizing -> Web Page Design General Design
   Options
    Find the option -> Website Max-width
 * Please note the description.
 * >  Max-width of the container. If you use 2 sidebars, your container should be
   > at least 1200px.
   >  Note: For 720px content (default) use 1380px for 2 sidebars
   > and 1120px for 1 sidebar. If you use a combination of both, try something inbetween.
 * Another note, the max-width will not go beyond the “container” of the website,
   or it will break responsiveness.
 * Clear your cache plugin’s cache content and browser history after you had made
   the changes.
 * Thank you

 * I’m having the same problem (and I’ve read the same “Max-width” notice on the
   customizer).
    It’s set at 1380. I can set that in the customizer. What I *can’t*
   do is find a way to force the content to actually STAY at 720px. My sidebars 
   appear correct (320/280) but the center content area is clearly shrunken on the
   homepage (and the space between outside edge of the sidebars and the outside 
   edge of the container is wider than it used to be). [https://craftlit.com](https://craftlit.com)
 * For me, all of this went south after I paid to upgrade to Hueman Pro (paid support
   hasn’t been helpful, yet, either, so I’m really hoping someone has an answer 
   here).

 * AH!
    I kept changing things and stumbled on this:
 *     ```
       .container {
           min-width: 1280px;
   
       }
   
       .container-inner {
           min-width: 1180px;
   
       }
   
       .main-inner.group {
           min-width: 520px;
       }
       ```
   
 * I’m sure it’s technically wrong, but the page looks right now.
