I tried different suggestions but cannot make the page full width

Hi,

I am having issues with making the page full width.

I first tried Ying’s suggestion from here https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/how-do-i-make-page-full-width-on-by-default/

So I’ve created a layout element and selected “full width no padding” and then in display rules I selected “Entire Site”. Nothing happened - page is not full width.

Then I tried a different approach but the documentation doesn’t really reflect what I see in my customizer. For instance in this topic https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/single-post-full-page-width/, Leo suggested to change the content container and provided this documentation chapter - https://docs.generatepress.com/article/content-container/.

The problem is I don’t have such an option in my customizer.

Furthermore, when I edit the actual page in my “settings” panel on the right, I can see Content Container choice box, and “full width” is the selected option. It is greyed out though and I cannot change it.

Also I do not have any additional CSS styling.

I am running out of ideas what else I can try.

The only solution that actually works was Elvin’s suggestion from this topic - https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/how-to-make-content-container-full-width/

His suggestion was to make it very wide like 6000px.

Is this really the only solution? What is the layout element for then?

I’d appreciate your help. Thanks!
