Hi tagDiv team,
I want to set my content width to 1200px (modern news-site layout: full-bleed bars, centered 1200px content column) on zzpnieuws.nl, running Newspaper 12.7.6 with a child theme.
In this forum, your staff has described the solution as follows:
– Simion C. (Sep 2025, topic “How to customize the page width”): “So for a page like your homepage, you must edit it with the composer, click on the rows and stretch them to 1200px, it takes very little time.”
– Calin (Aug 2025, topic “banner in my header”): “you can adjust the row width using tagDiv Composer […] the row to be stretched to 1200px instead of the default.”
However, this stretch control does not appear anywhere in my tagDiv Composer:
1. When I select a Row (both on a regular Composer page and in my header Cloud Template), hovering over the left/right edges of the row in the preview shows no drag handles and no resize cursor.
2. The Row settings panel (tabs General / Divider / Layout / Css) contains no stretch or row-width dropdown. The Layout tab only has column layout, alignment, order and “occupy remaining space”. The Css tab only has a manual pixel Width field.
3. Theme Panel → Template Settings has no global site/content width setting either.
My questions:
– Where exactly is the “stretch row to 1200px” control in Newspaper 12.7.6? Is it a drag interaction in the preview, a setting, or something that must be enabled first?
– Is this feature version-, license- or configuration-dependent?
– If it is genuinely unavailable in my setup: what is your recommended, update-safe way to achieve a 1200px content width site-wide (including the default single post and category templates) without breaking the responsive grid and thumbnail calculations?
Setup: Newspaper 12.7.6 (deploy mode: deploy), child theme (originally generated on Newspaper 9), tagDiv Composer + Cloud Library active, header built as a Cloud Template, LiteSpeed Cache, hosting at Cloud86.
Screenshots attached: (1) the Row settings panel showing the four tabs without a width option, (2) a selected row in the preview where no drag handles appear on the edges. See images here: https://postimg.cc/gallery/3xm1fCyimages

Hi,
The stretch option is available after selecting a row, it’s in the general settings tab -> https://prnt.sc/4muwSpqSWKlv Simply scroll down a bit while hovering the settings tab -> https://prnt.sc/uU8wLyz3eFUL and the option should be there.
As a note, stretching rows will not work if the rows have custom widths set like this -> https://prnt.sc/cwfuQqZPmAau
I believe you are also using some custom CSS to limit the width, I see it in the theme custom CSS -> https://prnt.sc/4KfdAvNIzxun Please make sure that you review that code you entered here -> https://prnt.sc/lLaG0ksSbKTi because it will probably prevent any row from being stretched.
Let me know if I can help more.
Thank you!
