[Resolved] container width not adjusting

[Corinne Collins]

Hi,

I have the free version of the generatepress and created a child theme for http://www.prismbusinessservices.com. I wanted to expand the container width and tried doing so in customize section from 1280px to 1440px. I saved the settings but it won’t re-adjust the container width. Also would like to adjust the sidebar as well. Will you please help.

Seriously thinking about purchasing the addons.

Thanks,

Corinne

Hi Corinne,

Do you by chance have a line in your child theme’s style.css that starts with: @media?

If so, remove that line, and it should work.

Let me know 🙂

[Corinne Collins]

Yes, I did. Are you a mentalist? Just kidding. I did take it out, uploaded the modified stylesheet, logged out of the admin, logged back in, but I still cannot adjust it. Any ideas?

So there’s no longer an @import line in your stylesheet, yet the Customizer still doesn’t work when changing options?

Hey, Just figured it out. There was css code that defined the page max-width at 1100 px. I just changed it to 1440px and it works.

Custom CSS code, or the core code in the theme? If it’s in the core, there’s a better way to do it, as you’ll lose the change when you update.

Let me know 🙂

Yeah, I know about the core css. Made the change in the child stylesheet. Copied alot of the code from the core css. Thanks.

Awesome 🙂
