I believe the theme default is 700px. I raised it a bit, to 1000px, and was happy with how it looked. Doesn’t seem to be causing any problems with how my site displays either. Really don’t see what the big deal with experimenting with that was… * Secondly, for specifying font-size for _just_ mobile viewers, I added this to the Additional CSS box: * ``` @media screen and (max-width: 640px) { .site-content { font-size: 85%; } } ``` * And again by playing around with the percentage value – and viewing the changes on the mobile-screen part of the preview window – I was able to decrease the displayed font size on mobile and find something which I thought worked well. * Anyway, gonna mark this thread as resolved. Hope what I found can help anyone who needs it 🙂 * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Scrawl] How to make the ‘textbox’ for posts wider?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-the-textbox-for-posts-wider/) * Thread Starter [rfwrites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rfwrites/) * (@rfwrites) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-the-textbox-for-posts-wider/#post-11577624) * Ended up having to deal with a bunch of out-of-my-hands problems with my site. And I had to wait for the hosting service to finally look into them for me, alas. I think everything is running fine now, however. * Also, I have something else I’d like some help with if possible. Could you tell me whether there’s a way to specify font size JUST for the mobile version of my site? Leaving the specified desktop & tablet font size unaffected. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Scrawl] How to make the ‘textbox’ for posts wider?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-the-textbox-for-posts-wider/) * Thread Starter [rfwrites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rfwrites/) * (@rfwrites) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-the-textbox-for-posts-wider/#post-11490945) * It’s interesting that it is recurring for you. In my experience, I’ve only really seen the page mis-load like we’re talking about when in an Incognito browser window. And, again, only once in a great while. It’s very strange. * I’ve contacted my hosting service, but they said they couldn’t replicate the problem on their end. * I’m not sure what could be causing it. I only have a few plugins and they’re not really theme related. * I haven’t changed the theme’s code itself. And this is all I have in my ‘Additional CSS’ box: * ``` .archive .post .entry-content { display: none; } html { font-size: 57.5%; } ``` * Could any of that be causing an issue? I’m not very well-versed in this type of thing… * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Scrawl] How to make the ‘textbox’ for posts wider?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-the-textbox-for-posts-wider/) * Thread Starter [rfwrites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rfwrites/) * (@rfwrites) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-the-textbox-for-posts-wider/#post-11484209) * [@lizkarkoski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lizkarkoski/) * I appreciate you bringing that to my attention. I’ve noticed that strange mis- loading of my site before on very rare occasion. In my experience, it seems to go away when you reload/refresh the page. I have no idea what causes it, because I first noticed it happening soon after I made my site, way before I made any changes to the theme itself. It’s something I may have to contact my hosting service about, I don’t know. * Honestly, at most I think I’d just want to make the maximum width the textbox can grow to when you full screen a browser-window a _bit_ bigger. But if that will cause problems with my theme, I’m fine not doing it. It’s not a major priority or anything. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Scrawl] How to make the ‘textbox’ for posts wider?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-the-textbox-for-posts-wider/) * Thread Starter [rfwrites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rfwrites/) * (@rfwrites) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-the-textbox-for-posts-wider/#post-11476385) * [@lizkarkoski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lizkarkoski/) * Hi, thanks for your response! * My site is ryanfinchwrites.com * I am using the slide-out side bar on my site, yes. And I can definitely see the wisdom in the default configuration you describe. * I just thought that if the textbox width was easy enough to tweak via the ‘Additional CSS’, I’d like to play around with it a bit. To see how it affects the look of my site. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Scrawl] Having the Archive page show only excerpts?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/having-the-archive-page-show-only-excerpts/) * Thread Starter [rfwrites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rfwrites/) * (@rfwrites) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/having-the-archive-page-show-only-excerpts/#post-11344730) * Many thanks to you all for trying to help me! What an awesome support community 😀 * I added the revised code snippet that [@gary-barrett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gary-barrett/) provided into the ‘Additional CSS’ box and it worked perfectly. My archive pages now only display clickable titles for each post.
