[Resolved] Website Layout Question

[Erika]

Hi there,

somehow I do not exactly get what I´d like to have regarding the layout of a site.

The header should be full width including title, subtitle, menü, just like it is now.
The body should be 60% and side widgets left and right 20% each. Alltogether body full width.
Footer should also be full width.

The Blog posts should be exactly like the pages, no difference in width.

Which setting do I have wrong, because I do not get the header and the footer to full width…

Thank you! Erika

Hi Erika,

Let’s handle one question at a time.

The header is already full width from what I can see:

The left and right space is coming from the 40px padding set in the customizer:

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Hi Leo,

if you look at the site on a wider monitor, it looks like the header and footer were not full width. I think it is because of the max-width setting in the cutomizer, but I can´t see how to change it.

Padding is ok.

Thanks, Erika

Hi Erika,

I see. Thank you for clarifying. Yes, that’s limiting the Header and the Footer to a specific width: 2000px. Try manually replacing this Container Width in Appearance > Customize > Layout > Container to a Higher value you prefer.

For instance, 10000px as shown here: https://share.getcloudapp.com/OAu2wdd1

Let us know how it goes.

Hi Fernando,

Thanks, Erika
