Hello..

Is it possible to make the width of the theme wider? I’m looking through the control panel, can’t see anything settings relating page width.

Hello,

Unfortunately the theme width cannot be changed in our theme as we built the theme on a fixed width and all elements depend on this fixed width. Sorry but we cannot provide any solution in changing the content width.
You can however create full width sections on pages using the visual composer stretch row option: https://www.screencast.com/t/6umF8z4xU9

Thank you!

Hmm.. Would have been nice if you’ve added it to your product description, somewhere. At least then people who’re planning to buy the product would know in-advance that’s it’s fixed width.

I purchased this theme today expecting perhaps there would be an responsive option to make the page wider. I didn’t expect it to be absolutely fixed. I’d really would like it to be slightly wider, ideally 1124/1140px if possible. If I set about customizing the theme’s stock CSS with a child theme, would it be possible to make it run at a specification I prefer? OR would this simply break the sites functionality? Does all the other elements have a fixed width or are they bound by percentages? Taking all 3 columns to be 100%?

Kind Regards
Nikita

To be fair, the description doesn’t say “set your own custom widths” anywhere, either, and there is a link to full theme documentation prior to purchase.

However, you *can* hack the CSS yourself for ANY theme, you just need to be prepared to adjust some things since the fixed layouts (as shown in all their demos), have certain blocks and elements designed to “fit” the base width in pixels, and then adjust on viewport for responsive layouts.

Many have done so, but you need to understand how CSS works and experiment to see if you can get the result you want.

(I don’t work here)

I’ll create a child theme and go about hacking the CSS for my own needs.
I’m pretty sure it’s not that difficult.
