[Resolved] Narrow column for text even with full width layout

[Danno]

Hi, I do love all the features that using a full width layout offer, except for one thing:

The text get spread out so wide on a big screen, it can be hard to scan.

Is there a setting to keep the wide layout, but make the text contain much narrower?

Thanks!

You could try this CSS:

.entry-content {
    max-width: 700px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}

Thank you!

I was fooling around with padding. Didn’t know about “max-width.”

Support here is as amazing as the theme.

You’re welcome 🙂

This code does exactly what I want 🙂

Is there a way to apply to posts only, not pages?

Thanks!

Try

.single .entry-content {
    max-width: 700px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}

Perfect!
