Post layout problem
22 replies · Started by Elmehdi on August 8, 2018
Hello,
I have purchased the premium theme months ago and I have been using it, I have tried to customize my posts by pushing content left side and have a sidebar to the right.
I went to customize option then to layout and then to the container. I have increased the container width to 1200 and It does indeed show me the results I wanted to. However, once I have clicked published and saved the changes. I find my posts still same, content still in the middle instead of it been pushed to the left side.
If I go back to customize to confirm, I find it showing me content already on the left side, while in reality, It's Not.
Can you help me, please??
Hi there,
The page you linked isn't using GP.
Can you double check?
Let me know :)
I have edited with new post link, the issue appears on all posts, what I have linked previously was the home page.
If you go to any post you'll see the problem I have mentioned
Still not quite sure what you mean.
This is what I'm seeing and everything looks correct to me from the code standpoint:

Let me know what I'm missing.
The way it shown in your picture is the way it shows me inside customize GP and it is how I want my posts to look like, but look how I see the post when I access it:

See that space on the left side? shows content centered
The way I see it is the live site so it sounds like the problem is from your end.
maybe try clearing browser cache?
I have cleared the browser cache but nothing, I changed the laptop and checked on posts, still shows me the way it looks in that screenshot I have sent you :(
I'm still unclear what the problem is.
What's the difference between my screenshot and your screenshot?
Looks like I'm using a wider screen and that's about it.
Let me know what I am missing :)
Okay. I'm sorry if I'm not clear.
What basically I want, is that the left side space to be removed and my content instead of it been centered, it gains the spaces on left sides, so it becomes a bit wider.
In live, my posts look like the one I showed you earlier, and this is the highlighted space I want to get rid of: https://ibb.co/n3OLRU
Inside GP customize: here how my post looks like (which is what I want): https://ibb.co/cw1ofp
As you can see inside GP Customize option: the space is not there ( what I have done is I have increased the container width from 1100 to 1200 to get rid of that space, but in live, it doesn't show that effect)
If there is other method to achieve the goal i have described, please let me know to correct it.
Are you looking for something like this?
body .site.grid-container {
margin-left: 0;
}Adding CSS: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/
Let me know :)
Yes, The content was pushed left as I wanted thanks but can we get it wider? As you can see space left on the right side is very big, want to give at least half of that space to the content, to make it wider.

Should be able to use this option:

I have tried it, already at max 1200, even if I write a higher number, no changes applies.
Is there a way to get it higher? or we can't go above 1200?
The max should be 2000px.
Indeed, it shows me max 2000 however, it stops showing me modification as soon as I go higher than 1200.
Below 1200, if I decrease number, It shows me size is decreasing. If I go higher, It shows me size is getting bigger until it hits 1200, then it stops
