I do not see any options to increase the site width. I do not want to change the width within the grid, however, there is plenty of empty space on both sides of the site, and I would like to tweak that. Please advise.

Hi,
If you are referring to the width of the Newsmag theme, this is fixed. It is one of the main differences between Newspaper and Newsmag. The Newsmag theme has a fixed width, and it is not capable of having an increased width or full width, as Newspaper does. There is a guide here explaining some of the differences here https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-vs-newsmag-how-to-choose-the-perfect-wordpress-theme-for-your-project/
Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thank you!
SO we can’t make them fully responsive (full-width on screen theme> I was looking as well since I can’t stand the boxed half-size look on the website now.
I do not see any options to increase the site theme width.
I’m just confirming or is there a work around?
Hi tridence,
Unfortunately, there is no option in the theme to change the width on Newsmag. There were users who tried custom css, but the problem is that many elements do not adjust well to a larger size.
Thank you!
I did this for one site way back in v3; basically much like editing the css to have the footer full width with black backing; I edited one of the theme templates to have the left column be responsive with a min and max width, and sidebar on right fixed width. It worked for my purposes, but I don’t have that code handy and would not apply to v5.
But that was the method I used. Bit of trial and error to ‘target’ the correct element. The Chrome inspector helps.
Downside is you have to replace the theme files with any update.
so, ended up with something like
[ header full width ]
[ <- content -> ] [sidebar -fixed]
[ footer full width ]
In my case I was not using a featured image; but inserting image into the template at a fixed size in centered div. SO I forget the template number, but it’s the one without any featured image in post.
Text would end up as
…………………..
…………………..
[ photo ]
…………………..
…………………..
etc.
It can be done but you need to understand how to edit CSS and keep log of changes, and then make note of what may need replacing each time you update theme (e.g, 5x to 5×1).
Hope that made sense.
