Tailoring a Section to window size
3 replies · Started by Mitchell on November 30, 2015
Hi there
I'm just wondering if there's a way to make a section dynamically adjust its own size to match that of the window in which it is viewed?
My end goal is something like this: remainfestival.com.au
I've found a tutorial about the same idea (without GeneratePress) here (mattboldt.com/css-100-percent-height/) but I tried it out and it didn't work for me...
Using the Simple CSS plugin, I created a class called .fullscreen and added
height:100%;
as described by the tutorial above. I then added 'fullscreen' to the relevant Section's custom classes. I also included the
html, body { }
section described in the tutorial (this was the bit I was least sure about. Maybe the problem is there?).
Is there something about Sections that cancels out that code and prevents it from working? Or are Sections just something I shouldn't be using to do this trick?
I'm an absolute beginner at CSS, so there's probably something I'm missing!
(Also should add how great GeneratePress has been, and how impressed I am with Tom for the level of help and support provided through this forum!)
Oops, clearly I didn't look through the forum hard enough!

That's definitely the best way to do it.
Glad you found the solution - thanks for posting it in here as well :)
Let me know if you have any other questions!
