Content width is not container width. Cannot set it to match the container

Hi,

My container is 900px set from

layout > container > container width > 900px

however, the content inside it refuses to be full width within this 900px container. It limits itself to 675px.

What causes this? Here is a picture

Thanks for the lightning fast reply.

I don't have any elements on the site. My site is still under development, so can't link to the page unfortunately.

Can you duplicate the issue on a staging site so I can inspect the code?

It's not possible to resolve an issue like this based on screenshots unfortunately.

Let me know :)

Hi Liis,

It's because you have the right sidebar activated though there's no content in it, it still occupies the space.

Go to Customizing > Layout > Sidebars, choose content(no sidebar) for Sidebar Layout.

Let me know :)

That must have been it :)

Is the sidebar counted inside the layout > container > container width > 900px ?

Yes it is.

For example, if you set your sidebar width 30%, with 900px width container, the sidebar will be 270px in width, and content would be 630px in width.

Perfect, that explains it. Silly me!

Thank you. Matter solved.

No problem :)
