Creating a basic page format
9 replies · Started by Geoff Smith on June 7, 2020
Hi there,
I am using the Marketer Theme and am trying to create a standard page that has a white background container where the main content goes and a sidebar.
Right now when I create pages, the width is completely wide, even if I set the page to "contained".
I was able to control the width of these pages with a Layout Element but would like to get the container set up correctly so I can apply the same padding, etc.
Here is an example of one of those pages.
Do you know how I can do this or is this not a feature of the Marketer Theme?
Hi there,
the contained and fullwidth setting removes all the themes padding. You must use Default to keep the padding.
You can set the Content Width across the entire site in Customizer > Layout > Container
Hi David,
Here are my settings (screenshot here - https://share.getcloudapp.com/RBuqvwBp).
To be clear, I'm trying to get the format like the blog in the Marketer theme with a background container https://share.getcloudapp.com/qGuKdgkb
Hi there,
Not too sure what that second screenshot is showing, and your very first link in the topic doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
Any chance you can explain a bit more?
Thanks!
Hey Tom,
I'm trying to create a background area on pages and apply so the content area and the background are separate in color.
Can you disable your caches so i can see where the CSS affecting the page containment is coming from.
Hi David, the cache has been disabled.
This CSS in your child theme styles.css is the cause:
.page-template-default.page .container.grid-container {
max-width: 100%;
}Thank you David
You're welcome
