Option to set a maximum width on a post/page

Hello tagDiv Team,

Thanks for the great template, I’ve been using it for a few years and I’m really happy about it. The latest updates make it even better to use. Also appreciate the tons of documentation and visual examples.

I’m currently thinking of changing my template and I was wondering if there is an option to set a maximum width for a post/page to avoid the text to be stretch on larger screen like MBP Retina (making the content difficult to read).

If I use a sidebar on a post/page there is no problem as there is already a max width set by default apparently. But if I remove the sidebar (in the option) I ended up with a very strech text.
See example of a post with Sidebar
See example of a page without sidebar

I know I can edit the code to set a max width directly, but I was wondering if there’s an option in the theme to do it already (so I have no worries when I update the theme). And if not it will probably be a good addition.

The main reason for me to getting rid of the sidebar is now almost 60% of my traffic is mobile and people don’t see it/use it (not to mention it will slow the the display for mobile user). Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no option at the moment to change the width of the theme. This kind of modification can only be done with custom code – https://www.screencast.com/t/NAJmeIXPjWqt modifying the theme files directly or through a child theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Please note that if you choose to use the mobile theme plugin, the sidebar set on desktop will not be displayed on mobile – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ but if you are not, the sidebar will be displayed after the article in the post page.
Maybe some options for changing the width of the theme will be made available in future updates, but I can not say for sure if or when this will happen. The theme is in a continuous development process, and each update is meant to improve it and we take in account our users requests.

Thank you for understanding!
