Hello! I don’t want to include a sidebar on my post single, but without the sidebar, the content is way too wide since the optimal length for reading is about 50 characters per line. I’d like to make the max-width of just the post content about 850px. I included the following CSS:

.td-ss-main-content { max-width: 850px; }

This works, however, the content is then left aligned. How would I center the entire column?

Thanks!

Hi,

You could use padding to reduce the width of the post content, like this for example

Or you could use the code you mention. To center the content, add something like this to your code
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ojkH4m5sJKIi

.td-ss-main-content {
max-width: 850px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

Thanks
