Here is some mobile styling...

@media screen and (max-width:540px) {

	/*--PAGE CONTENT--*/
	#pageContent.with-scrollbar,
	#pageContent {
		max-height: 60%;
		width: 90%;
		margin-left: -45%;
	}
}

Copy/paste that and adjust accordingly. You may need to adjust the "max-width" setting for tablets.

Best,

Christopher

Thank you, Christopher. It looks great on a deskop now but the content is cropped on a phone and tablet. Any way the content could be resized to fit on those devices?

Thank you,
Christian

Hi there,

I don't see any of the CSS applied to your site. Are you using a caching plugin maybe? Sometimes those need to be reset for any changes like this to appear.

Also, here are some updated styling to try...

#pageContent.with-scrollbar,
#pageContent {
    max-width: 1500px;
    width: 1500px;
    margin-left: -750px;
}

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Christopher

Hello Chris,

These lines of code don't affect the layout of the news page. For instance, I added...

#pageContent {
max-width: 1500px;
width: 1500px;
margin-left: -750px;
}

...and nothing changed. Any insights, sensei?

Hi there,

Here is the current CSS styling that affects the width for the page content area...

#pageContent {
    max-width: 500px;
    width: 500px;
    margin-left: -250px;
}

You can copy/paste that into the Custom CSS box on the Customize page (appearance > customize) and make edits there.

Note that the margin-left value needs to be half the width values.

For the title, try adding the following to your Custom CSS box to make page titles center...

#page-title {text-align: center;}

Hope that helps!

Hello,

I would like to know if it would be possible to change the width of a news page, recenter the title (not the content)?

I've attached a screencap for visuals.

Thank you for your help.
