Change Pixel width of theme

Hello,

The newsmag theme width is smaller than newspaper’s. You can check this guide http://tagdiv.com/newspaper-vs-newsmag-how-to-choose-the-perfect-wordpress-theme-for-your-project/
We do not recommend altering the theme width in pixels as all theme elements depend on this fixed width. If you want to test this out, you can alter the css and increase the site width but keep in mind that the elements you add to the page will be affected by this: http://screencast.com/t/0B8dbafNF

Thank you!

Hi,

The main content area is 1068 px. The extra margins on the left provide the extra space http://screencast.com/t/iMKG7grx
If this is what you want to achive, shrinking the extra space without affecting the main content, then it can be possible as it will not influence the theme elements. Most users want to change the main content area. If 1068 px is fine for you, you can simply use this code to get rid of the extra space:
.td-boxed-layout #td-outer-wrap{
width: 1068px;
}
But now there won’t be any space left or right of the content: http://screencast.com/t/J4ZUiQiiS and of course it will need adjusting for a responsive layout as it will show like this on desktop but on other screen sizes it will also need adapting.

Thank you!

As I said above, you can shrink the outer wrap but not the main content. Here is an example so you will understand why this is a bad idea: http://screencast.com/t/tFlhzUi16
i decreased the main content by only 1 pixel and the big grid already broke and moved 2 posts on the line below. Just as the big grid, multiple elements need the width to stay the way that it is to display properly.
Thanks.

Hi,

If you want the code to only afffect the desktop version you can use @media like so:

@media(min-width:1018px){
.td-boxed-layout #td-outer-wrap{
width: 1068px;
}}

Thank you!
