hi folks. i have played around trying to get my posts away from the left margin, but no luck. i have a content/sidebar format setup, but can't find the magic to move the post in from the left margin. thx in advance for your help/input.

hi Leo
so instead of deleting i changed the width to 1500, refreshed and viewed it; no change. what does changing that value supposed to do to the width of the blog post? it isn't making a difference here.

The width did change actually - this number was 2000px last time I checked:

If you change it to something like 800px then it would be more obvious.

I should also mention that the layout element is only needed if you want the container width of the single post to be different than the rest of the site and the customizer setting:

I would highly recommend watching this video if you haven't seen it already:

The layout element content width option is explained starting at the 7 minutes mark but the whole video should be useful.

Let me know :)
