    Hi,
    Can you please clarify what the differences are with each Child Theme vs Generatepress regular theme?

    Hi there,

    Just the look/style – nothing else at the moment 🙂

    Okay, thanks, Tom.
    I am looking for a format/selection/widget/CSS that will adjust the width of the content section and footer widget section. I want to make those areas narrower than the whole container. See the white content area and yellow content area on this page as an example: http://tiny.cc/yzne4x

    So you’re wanting to set a background image in the container area, and have the inner container have x amount of spacing around it to show the background image?

    Yes!

    You could try something like this..

    .container {
          background-image: url(URL TO BACKGROUND IMAGE);
          padding: 50px;
          -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
          -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
          box-sizing: border-box;
    }
    
    .site-content {
          background: #FFF;
    }

    Thank you for your timely response! I finally was able to implement it and it worked! The actual code I used:
    #page{
    background: #a4cb86;
    padding-left: 50px;
    padding-right: 50px;
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    }
    .site-content {
    background: #FFF;
    }


    @media
    (max-width:767px) {
    #page {
    padding-left: 10px;
    padding-right: 10px;
    }

    I am now trying to format the footer widget area with the same white overlay.

    Any ideas how I can achieve the same look without using a background image?

    Here is my page with the page/site content area the way I want it: http://tinyurl.com/gmwv6us

    Here is my css for the footer widget area:
    /* START green background for footer widgets */
    #footer-widgets{
    background: #a4cb86;
    padding-left: 50px;
    padding-right: 50px;
    padding-top: 0px;
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    }
    .site footer-widgets { /* this is not working */
    background: #FFF;
    }
    /* END green background for footer widgets */

    You could try something like this:

    .inside-footer-widgets {
        background: #FFF;
    }

    Geez, I could swear I tried that one, but YES, it works. Thanks so much for the quick response!

    Hi,
    I am now having footer issues. I added a third Footer Widget and 1) it is wrapping on the desktop version, 2) the image I set in the widget area 3 is oddly large even with width and height dimensions stated.

    All 3 footer widgets should render in same row on desktop version, right?

    Settings
    Footer Layout: Contained
    Footer Widgets: 3
    Container Width: 975

    Currently displaying stacked instead of in the same row: http://tinyurl.com/zyccllg

    It looks normal on desktop.

    Once you hit tablet sizing, the third widget drops down so things don’t get too squished. If you had a 4th widget, you would have two rows of two.

    You can stop this functionality like this: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/typography-php-and-unsemantic-grid-css/#post-161840

    Thank you, Tom. I am still occasionally seeing inconsistencies in Firefox, not in Chrome. Very frustrating, but greatly appreciate you checking.
