Can I remove the background image and enlarge the boxed layout?

I’m not sure if I’m describing it correctly. The issue I am having is I want to have a background but I want to enlarge the width of the entire middle section that contains content. If I go to each specific ROW layout and try to enlarge under ROW STRETCH it and does nothing. The main middle section stays the same size and I can’t seem to make the width larger than it is. You can only enlarge the width of whatever is already inside the main middle section but I want to make the middle section width larger, the entire thing from top to bottom.

The American flag is my background but I don’t want it to take that much space on both sides. I want to make the middle section where the content is wider. Please help, thanks

Thank you sir, once again your help was greatly appreciated. Have a good day.

Thank you sir, I appreciate your help.

Thank you very much gentlemen, I greatly appreciate the help. Have a wonderful day.

Thank you for the reply Vlad, that fixed the issue on viewing the images in the post itself.

But how do put the opacity to 0 on the images shown as a featured image on the front page? Thanks for helping me out in advance.

Check the silver surfer post as it clearly shows this effect of the images going darker the lower you view it. Click on any of the images with a whitish background and look towards the bottom when it pops up in a larger image you can see this darkening effect towards the bottom. Please help

You can clearly see it in every single image in the entire website, even on the front page you see the image clear from top to middle but once you look at the bottom of the image it goes darker. How do I make every single image on the website crystal clear to see without any effects.

It seems to be some sort of effect that needs to be disable or removed.

Thanks for the reply but that does not fix the problem I need to resolve.

If you click onto any post, I have many a gallery of many pictures of said statue.

When you click to enlarge the image it blows up into a fullsize image that has this annoying black haze towards the bottom of the image. The top of the image is crystal clear but the bottom isn’t. Please how do I remove this bottom darkness in the images when viewing them?

In the image you can clearly see if the title is long it gets cut off from both lines. There must be a fix, it’s not working correctly. You can’t possible expect people to shorten titles for it to fit.

Fixed the issue

I have tried many different youtube videos and none work.

How do I clear the cache? Deactivated both plugins that arent tagdiv “Page Links To” & “Yoast SEO Premium” and still it doesn’t work.

Does anybody know of a mod in the code or something that would let featured article videos open the media player and play the video without having to load the specific article and then play the video.
