Pivot theme layout max-width
5 replies · Started by Petri on August 23, 2021
Hi,
I'm using the Pivot theme and would like to reduce the max-width of the entire website (from topbar, menu etc. to the footer-bar) to let's say a max-width of 1400px.
I don't see this option in the customiser.
Can you tell me how to achieve this?
Thanks!
Hi there,
You can adjust it in Customizer > Layout > Container --> Container Width
NOTE: Most of your pages have been built with a Container Block, which has its own Width settings, by default they will inherit the above theme setting, but if you have manually edited those settings they wont.
Unless you're creating a Full Width page layout, there is no need to add that Container Block.
Hi David,
Thank you about the tip, I thought I always needed to add a container.
The content (text) is 1200px, that's fine with me. I think my question wasn't too clear ;-)
My problem concerns mainly the nav-menu and footer, if I scale the website they become very (endless) wide, I would like them also to have a max-width. So that the entire website never becomes wider than 1400px.
Thanks again.
Hi Petri,
If you want the header/footer width to be contained, you'll need to set them to be contained.
Footer: Customizing > Layout > Footer > Footer Width.
Header: Customizing > Layout > Header > Header Width.
This contained width will follow the value set at Customizer > Layout > Container –> Container Width.
Hope that's clear :)
Thanks Ying, it's very clear ;-)
You are welcome :)
