Hi Stacey,
Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately that’s not what I’m trying to accomplish. I do want the header and the nav contained. There is an overall background (brown), as well as a background in the content area (white text area with green padding) that I want to show. See this conversation: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/child-theme-differences/#post-142718.
I am trying to contain the slider in the content area within the white background area. This is an example of how I’d like it to display: http://tinyurl.com/jyaj8rh .
Any further ideas would be great.
