[Resolved] Change width of visual editor

[Anja]

Hi Tom,

i have another question, but i.m not quite sure whether it is theme related.

For the pages of my website I set the container width to 1050px. So far, so good.
The problem is, that the container of the visual editor has a different size. It is quite larger. Therefore creating the pages is a bit challenging. The disposal of my content is diffenent in the editor.

Is there any way to change the width of the visual editor to 1050px as well?

Thank you for your help and the great theme.

Hi Anja,

The Visual Editor is kind of hard to tweak – changing the width etc..

One thing you can try is clicking “Screen Options” at the top right of the edit page area.

Then choose “1 Column” instead of “2 Columns”.

That will make the visual editor span the entire screen and move the other metaboxes down below it.

Let me know if that helps or not 🙂

That´s what i feared.

changing from 2 to 1 column is not really an option, the container is even larger this way.

So i will continue working by trial-and-error.

Thank you for your fast reply and help anyway.

You can always resize your browser to get a more realistic size?

No problem – sorry I don’t have a better solution for you.

I think I found a solution that is working for me.

I put my whole content in tables now. You can resize them to your liking and work in the same size the container of my actual website will be.
